Prestige Vs Dynamic Exterior

That's my point. I was shocked at the lack of performance from the diesel 190, even making the Skoda Yeti feel fast! Not driven the petrol yet but feel the top model should be pulling 0-60 in 7.0s before the dynamic earns its name.

A very nice compliment as a second car though. Quiet, smooth mile eater with oodles of toys. Makes X5 seem spartan in comparison!

The Si4 does 60 in 7.1 sec as I recall and feels good for it. That's quick for an SUV and does lend itself to allowing the Evoque to call itself sporty methinks. I've had car's that are far, far quicker; true sports cars that get to 60 in under 5 seconds but until a remap comes along, the 7.1 is fine and feels nicely brisk.

I'm enjoying driving my Evoque and really happy to have opted for petrol as I think it suits its nature and appearance - in Dynamic.

I'm drawn to the petrol, but prefer the prestige interior so it'll be a prestige diesel auto for me. We have a Z4 35i for fun days, otherwise I'd be with you.

Z4 35i is glorious - excellent car! I've had a remapped 335i and a Z4M in the past. I bought a Suzuki GSX-R600 L1 bike last year for rapid acceleration speed thrills.

The 335 engine in the 35i is the best car engine combo I've ever owned. Shame it's not ideal for trips over to France! Got a Kia C'eed estate for practical use but the Evoque has the same wow factor we felt with the roaster - so just gotta have one

Me and the wife used to do bikes but sold them due to lack of use. The wife loved her blade but we went back to two cars instead. Enjoy the gixxer though, fun fun bike!

Back on topic, the Dynamic with blacked out windows and bling bling wheels is the one to have. And while you're at it, get it wrapped too!

im still a love my prestige even though after seeing the OG Dynamics which i think look amazing.
there is still something i prefer about the Prestige's view from the side, even though i prefer the look of the Dynamic from the front.
still unsure on the exhausts, the Dynamic's don't seem to have been implemented very well, and i think if the Prestige's were just a little larger, they would look great.
but after seeing other cars about, i do like the fact i have big bling 20inch wheels on mine, and if its kept clean it makes a real difference in presence.
