New Disco Sport

My builds been brought forward from 13th March to the 20th February.

I'm in the process of possibly changing my Evoque Dynamic 2013 12,200 mile) for a DS, not to happy with the part ex I have been offered at my local stealer! I have been to a launch event and then driven both the manual and the auto. My choice would have to be the auto. Was peeves me off is that the stealers are not only happy in making money on the new car but also wants to make a lot on the part-ex as well. I'll try and sell my car private first and see what discount i can get on a HSE Lux auto. DS was a lot quieter than my Evoque as far a cabin noise is concerned, the new 9 speed gearbox was smooth and with the added stop start it should be better on fuel.

Was at Coniston Hall this morning - so wandered down to the Landrover Experience where they had a pre-prod DS. They had nothing but praise for it.
Then went off to Farnells to drop off some papers ready for March. They had a brand spanking prod DS I the showroom where it was the complete centre of attention. Had a chance again to have a really good look around.
Ticks every box - really looking forwards to trading up from the Evoque.

I hope you enjoy it Crabacle.
I thought the normal rear seat was a nicer place to be than the Evoque rear seat.
But other than that, as I don't need the extra space or +2 seats there was nothing that caught my imagination.
A nice car all in all though and a goal well achieved by LR crossing the freelander with the Evoque.

I'm in for another Evoque!

The new Discovery is a great car and certainly has a lot more legroom in the rear than the Evoque, as has already been mentioned.
I'm not sure I would call the Discovery a trade up from the Evoque though.
I like small details on the Evoque, like contrast stitching on the seats and dash. I didn't see that in the Disco.
Nice car, don't get me wrong, but the Evoque is still better looking.

I disagree with you there, I think the rear of the Evoque is ugly. Still don't like the squashed shape!

DS has some nice features of the Evouque but a better looking rear end.

The DS isn't supposed to be as fancy as the Evoque.

I enjoyed my time with the Evoque but I don't think I would ever take another.

Just seen two of them today, one on the road. I was approaching a roundabout in Stirling and saw coming toward me what I thought was a Scotia Grey Evoque but as it went round the roundabout it was a Disco Sport. Then while I was in the local dealership booking my car in for it's first service they had a Kaikura Stone one on the showroom floor. They also had Loire Blue Evoque Autobiography on the floor which looked very high alongside the DS!

At least someone was lucky enough to get theirs, my one should've been built on the 20th, pushed back to the 27th Feb. I haven't heard if it has been built yet, I'm expecting a call soon to say it's arrived, but that's a fading hope. It's like ordering the Evoque all over again, never ending delays.

The DS does look small, it's narrower than the Fl2, but the space and packaging of the interior is impressive, though I think the sloping roofline and lack of 5 seat option is mistake. A squared of rear would've made it more Discovery like.

I'm looking forward to it, I've waited since May. I can see this being the last for the foreseeable future, the pricing is heading in the wrong direction.

Well had the first chance to have a look at the new DS today, my local stealer had one in, a HSE model and to be honest it looks ok-ish from the outside but the interior is not as impressive as the Evoque. The DS is no-way a trade up, far to much plastic but there again it's not meant to be.
Nothing against Freelander owners and future DS owners but please don't compare the Freelander/DS against the Evoque. Different cars for different folks..
