Permagrin

You've had your Evoque a few weeks and put a few kms/Miles on the odo. Does it still make you feel good to get in it and drive it?

RE: Permagrim

It's a Land Rover owners' phenomenon but google it to find it's true meaning! The dictionary of slang is the place to look

Should that not be Permagrin? or is grim more like the reality? Rolling Eyes

RE: Permagrin

I guess it depends what you're coming from, if a FFRR then maybe its not as special or unique and may seem small and low in comparison after all its a different beast really, but its still a leap in tech and quality. I still have my previous car and getting back in it is shocking how awful it now feels! I feel like my bum is dragging along the road, its noisy and realise how vague all the steering and suspension has become! Still its great for what its for... being a shopping trolley, dump cart, Evoque wheel transporter and DIY delivery vehicle! The Evoque is just a luxurious and fun place to be and gives much enjoyment, and is ready for what the winter will bring! or is actually bringing now!

I dont quite understand this quote??

I have owned FFRRs and RRSs for 8 years.....what Im actually saying is I love the RRE LOVE IT....BUT...I do not feel the sheer presence or proper luxury that I felt in my last FFRR SC SE.
