Things that make you smile about the Evoque

I finally got round to selecting points of interest in the Nav set up, sitting in our underground car park at work, I chose parking, airports and petrol stations.

The brand of the petrol station is shown in the logo, the made me smile Very Happy, I haven't seen that before on any Nav.

Anything else made you smile recently?

RE: Things that make you smile about the Evoque

This morning: looking up through the Pano roof at the rain lashing down while I was waiting in traffic...

Last night my wife noticed for the first time that the graphic in centre console tells you who has their seatbelt on; she thought that was cool.

The reaction of other people when they see one in the flesh for the first time - they love it, even those friends who only saw photos of it up to now and were not that keen on the design change their mind when they see it in the flesh and they love the puddle lights!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Things that make you smile about the Evoque

I smiled today when I put Courchevel into the SatNav...a message popped up to say that I didn't have enough fuel to complete the journey...no sh!t Sherlock!

Nice touch though...especially given how much critisism the SatNav seems to get on here.

Evoque Coupe 2.2 SD4 Dynamic LUX 190HP (in some kind of grey!)

RE: Things that make you smile about the Evoque

@crown62 - I came from a Porsche Cayman and I'm surprised at how much power the SD4 has, so I imagine your Si4 will feel even better (especially if you chip it!).
