I've sold the Evoque

I think we need a photo!

Those residuals are scary!!! Making me think again about an F-Type as a replacement for my TTRS! That plus the fact I tore a V6S F-Type apart last week when he floored it in front of me lol

Would still swap though

Well, as of this morning, I'm following suit with a RR Sport Autobography, 5.0 litre Supercharged. Went for a test drive and it goes like stink, quite a hard ride on 22" wheels so they're out, this car is well spec'd with just a handful of options needed. Too big to fit in my garage though.

Doesn't come till next April and although dealer offered to take the Evoque now, I will be more than happy to run it for another 8 months of so. It has been, and remains, a great car.

Residuals hit (so he said) by individual rear seats instead of bench, coupe and Si4...

Well done Mark
I think the extra grand for the coupe is part of its downfall on residuals.
Cracking car you have chosen - I'm not envious of your mpg, bet its worse than mine!!

RRS S/C........ Umm MAYBE 14mpg with a gentle right foot, but they are a huge amount of fun and not that common so the boys in their 8 year old RRS 2.7 TDv6's that have been chipped and body kitted really don't know what just blew them away! The handling for a 2.8 tonnes SUV is pretty tidy too, such a pity that the 4.4 TDV8 didn't fit under the bonnet though as the 3.6 TDv8 was a pretty good beast too with the trick suspension pack from the S/C and 30 mpg with careful driving

Although this is Griff's thread.

Well done Mark, What is your colour choice (Inca maybe with contrast roof)?

In terms of selling on your car, some of these dealers do talk B/S, you would probably be better selling privately.

TG loved it in last weeks programme, GP2 Minis beware.

Im a friendly guy and quite happy to share this thread and turn it into a "What do you feel now you are changing your Evoque?" thread
Might be interesting

When I was at the pre-launch test drive of the new RRS the other week I noticed 8 MPG from the RRS V8 petrol on the Gaydon track when flooring it, which apparently is better than the outgoing RRS!!!!!
It did sound awesome though!! Went well too!!

Blimey makes the XFR sound positively frugal!

But Griff the XFR is a lightweight compared to what an RRS has to drag around, and the XFR doesn't have to send its powervtonall 4 wheels, that uses a lot of power as you know from owning and Evoque!
