Just Seen For The First Time!!

We have just seen the Evoque for the first time after being invited to the Here & Now event. we put a deposit down three months ago on a 5 door Pure which we specced up quite a bit.

Well after seeing the car in the flesh I am not as bowled over as I was expecting!! The three door is strange to say the least and Nowhere Near as nice to look at as the 5 door, I know I will probably upset people on here, but that's my opinion. I was surprised at how small the thing is in general, although inside it did feel a little bigger. The finish was Fantastic, although we were very disappointed in the Pure, certainly after being in the Prestige, so we changed our order to a 5 door Prestige. We also changed from White to Orkney Grey, although that colour isn't as nice as Stornaway but it did suit the Prestige, I wouldn't mind seeing the Havana too as this could be an option.

Anyway, the car is very different to anything else about, but I find it strange that alot of people are downsizing from a RRS?? as the Evoque would fit in the Boot!!!

Anyway it hasn't put us off, I just feel a bit deflated after seeing it after All the Hype! I am sure we will feel differently when we get it in 7 Months!!!

Hi, I think that you are quite entitled to your opinion.

Like you I've gone for the Prestige in OG and in the five door for practical reasons. However, I first saw the car in Manchester a few weeks ago and thought it was very nice but a bit tight for space.

However, last night on second viewing I was even more impressed. The OG suits the Prestige IMO and the standard 19 wheels actually have a painted interior section to it which is a metallic grey and very like the OG. From a personal point of view I do think that the exterior looks of the coupe just take it for me, so to exagerate the flow of the car I suggest looking at the privacy glass, which neatens the sides lines.

Cheers Steve

Hi,

I had originally gone for a Pure Tech. Have also thought the Pure interior was just not special enough.... Changed to a Prestige....

Cheeky blighters want to charge me extra for the new price for the panoramic roof because I changed spec. Greed.... The £1k deposit they have had for months seems to mean nothing....

That's what forums are all about so good on you for saying as you see it as it's all about personal preferences.

Having seen the car for the first time in the metal tonight I have to say that it looks all the car and then some

Over on on of the other threads I have posted a picture of an RRS parked parallel to my Evoque. Certainly isn't much difference in the length, but Evoque is certainly lower and narrower

I think the pure dash topper looks ok considering it is made from recycled plastic bottles, the pure is supposed to be a bit more stripped out to reflect the LRX concept car. But you are paying for the car so you are entitled to your opinion on what works best for you. Each to there own

Same here.

I prefer the look of the coupe (just) but wanted 4 doors, and I agree the Prestige is a far nicer place to be in than a specced up Pure.

Hi Steve

I am assuming if you are in Manchester then you must have been to the same dealers and drove the same OG Prestige as we did. It is a lovely car and very strangely is bigger when you are in it. Not sure I like the Privacy Glass although everyone I have seen has it, I think it makes the look more Van like, especially in White!! The OG one they have in Manchester Looks the part though and the Pan Roof is a Must, you really cant have an Evoque without it!

I would like to see an OG Prestige without the P Glass to see if it makes much difference.

As you all say, we are all different and have different tastes, good job too!!!

Thanks Andrew

Aside from the different leather on the seats (which you are sitting on so won't be able to see) and the leather dash topper what are the other interior differences between the pure and the prestige?

So when you were inside the Pure what disappointed you most apart from the softer leather in the Prestige?
