Broke the company car policy - Yay

Hi Evoquites

A very happy company car driver here. My company policy has been anti 4x4 and also specifically anti LR/RR for ever. So despite have a decent lease allowance, I have been frustrated for yeeeeeeaaaaarrrrss by only having regular cars, albeit nice ones, BMW, Audi, Jag etc. and not being able to get a 4x4. I did look at the 2wd Freelander but I never quite warmed to it.

However thanks to the Evoque 2wd option I have managed to persuade them to review the anti LR/RR policy and have got the go ahead woohoo! This was mainly down to the low emissions and 2wd.

Soooooo, I have just ordered the following:

Pure Firenze Red ed4 2wd
Tech pack
Pano roof
Rear Camera
Zenons
front Fogs
Type 6 20" wheels

Very excited now, just got the long wait until Sept 14th when my car lease expires when I can get the Evoque.

Cheers

Gareth

Result! Like the speec, essentially a Pure with tech and style (less the memory seats and mirrors but nice alloys), roof and camera. Same spec as mine although I haven't gone zenons but went for privacy and 825W and memory stuff. All you need now is to specify the NCO of engine badge deletion (or do it yourself) and no one will know if you are in an Ed4 or TD4Confused:Confused:

5 Dr SD4 Dynamic Plus (220PS!)
- Santorini Black with Indus Silver Roof
- Plus Pack (Agility Pimento/Ebony Oxford Leather)
- 20" Style 7 Alloy Wheels, Adaptive Bi-Xenon's with high beam assist, Aero Flip Spolier
- Keyless Entry, Privacy Glass, Auto dipping Interior Mirror, 825W stereo

According to Top Gear magazine if you buy a set of winter tyres for an ed4 it will go most places a 4wd version will go too.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Thanks for the comments. The winter tyre thing is something I have tried to get on my existing rear wheel drive car but again, corporate policy has got in the way. By the way my job is negotiating so I am supposed to be good at it but bureaucracy is something else to fight against.
