2009 Ford Kuga - been a good car (mechanically), and looks nice on the outside but a bit cheap on the inside. Also slightly sluggish.

Can't wait to get my Dynamic...

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

RE: What's your Evoque replacing?

BMW 335i E93 petrol twin turbo convertible.
Pros : Great car, very quick, lovely with the roof down
Cons: it costs me more to fill it than i get in my petrol allowance, totally impracticable - even the bottle bank take three trips LOL
Would not go anywhere in the snow, can't get into fields for country fairs and shoots etc. Got skin cancer (all is well now) so doctor suggested a convertible might now be a step too far.

Miss all that country stuff - time to change. Got the panoramic roof though!

Arrived: SD4 Prestige Auto Coupe with Lux pack. Ipanema Sand with Black Panoramic Roof
Ambience Interior with Macassa wood.

Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.

RE: What's your Evoque replacing?

Mine is replacing a black X3 which I bought rather impulsively having decided I was sick of bumping round in my Mini Cooper S.

I find the X3 on the whole is alright - smooth, works, goes, sleek. But it's also dull as hell, has a walnut trim I wouldn't have specced personally (got a large discount for taking a stock vehicle) and it's very long so find it tight for parking. Can't wait to get rid of it as it's the least inspiring vehicle I've ever owned! (History includes several Cooper S, a lotus exige, 206GT, so hot hatches really).

Hoping the evoque will be a grown up transition from the mini in terms of luxe and comfort, but will bring me back to the neat dimensions and retain some of the visual impact of the minis that the X3 definitely lacks!

My dad has had about 17 range rovers, so it's a brand I have vast experience with, and I am excited about owning my first one!

I bet Lotus will love you calling an Exige a hot hatch, then again if that was the class it was in it would blow all it's competitors into the weeds! (apart from boot space obviously Smile )

Neat dimensions other than the width anyway. I hope that you've measured your garage!!!

That was a catch-all phrase really! The exige (white one) was fun (shared it with my bro) but it started to grate being cold and rattled to bits on every journey. Plus it drew so much attention, people taking pics of themselves draped all over it, that was annoying. Also - boot space was surpisingly good on the exige - miles better than Mini. Expect the Evoque to be comparable to mini in terms of space...

So went back to sensible, and then to BORING with X3.

Wide doesn't bother me, I don't need a long car (won't be transporting planks or ladders any time soon) but I do like a chunky car.

You're joking aren't you? The Evoque is TARDIS like compared to the Mini.
