Did I buy the wrong Evoque?

On LR website, the Dynamic si4 is listed still (but does this mean anything ?!)

No they havn't but last time I heard they were concentrating on the Aisian market & anyone ordering an Si4 in the UK was put on a waiting list.

Having driven many diesels, I find this SD4 well insulated with plenty of grunt.

I've had bigger diesels and high powered petrol cars and don't find the Evoque lacking in any way.

Idle noise is agricultural, but only from the outside.

Thinking about this sensibly, give this car the beans and you will be driving at illegal speeds quite quickly.

I tend to use the Evoque for longer journeys and would describe it as a mile muncher.

Yes a V6 diesel would be nice but LR say it doesn't fit in the engine bay, so that's that.

This sounds more like the start of an ingredient list for your lunch...

The petrol is a very refined engine. It is punchy & sounds good too. I am waiting for my Pure Tech diesel manual to arrive. I would likely have had a petrol in it but us in the UK can't have it.

Valeter, why did you replace your Si4?

One downside of the Si4 is likely to be increased depreciation.

I wish I had got the SD4 instead of my TD4

You should speak to Pete at bell auto services , then you can have a td4 with the power of the si4 and the torque of a monster truck!!

No SD4 or si4 needed at all then

... and no warranty - or insurance cover if you don't tell them about the modification.
