RE: Top Gear

I have been waiting for this episode for a quite a while now, but despite their positive upbeat review earlier in the year I'm hoping nothing is found 'in their opinion' as being to negative as I don't want this episode to dent my ego or confidence!!

My car is ordered and expected 15th November, much earlier than anticipated.

Arrived 22nd December - SD4 Dynamic Auto, Fuji White, Panoramic/Contrast Roof, Dynamic Plus & Lux Pack

You have to remember Top Gear is first and foremost an entertainment show (not a car show) ..... wherever in the world they did the testing on the Evoque the "story" will have been written long before they ever drove the car - so even if they do a hatchet job (which I hope they don't) don't let it spoil your enjoyment of your new car .... the flip side is I seem to remember they did a rave review of the Citroen C6 - and when was the last time you saw one of those. Also nobody buys a Mercedes SLS because Jeremy Clarkson loves it ...... believe me!

However, in the back of the July Top Gear, as always, they list all the makes, models, prices etc and give them a rating ... and in the July edition they have already included the Evoque and give all the derivatives 16/20 - thus making it the highest scoring LR/RR !! A good start !

The FFRR actually got 17

Thanks for the posting! It's wierd but they have listed th fastest speed (0-60) for the diesels as 9.5 seconds. I thought it it was 8.1 seconds? Perhaps this speed is for the manual and not the automatics.
