RE: What to replace the Evoque with?

How about waiting for the 9 speed Evoque and going for a 5 door?

RE: What to replace the Evoque with?

Mines being replaced by a tried and tested Fl2 and I get 5yrs servicing for £199. The only thing the Evoque has going for it is looks. For me the Fl2 stands head and shoulders above the Evoque, hopefully the next Freelander continues to improve.

RE: What to replace the Evoque with?

WB that's the avenue I was thinking of going down, FFRR and D4 are much bigger than I require being a single guy with no dogs/cats/wife etc to have to chauffeur around. I just wonder if it is worth waiting too for the new 2litre TDi Hotfire Engine to go with the 9 speed auto. After my brother's trials with Audi he has now been very frank with me that he wishes he had never traded his A4 Cab for the A5 cab he now has, it has been much more trouble that I appreciated and likely to be his last Audi. He has far more problems with his A5 than I have had with my Evoque and is considering changing it for an Evoque. I would have another Coupe, I don't need the extra 2 doors in the rear.
The A6 has now been ruled out as it has sold today!

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.

Any issues I have, so far, are entirely down to the dealer

I test drove the Mk1 and Mk2 TT's and found them way too claustrophobic in the cabin for me

RE: What to replace the Evoque with?

Jury's still out on whether ill stay with LR but I still absolutely love mine. When I'm walking towards it after work in the car park it brings a smile to my face...it just stands out from the crowd, and despite one or two shortcomings I'm still really happy with itSmile

Arrived 16th December 2011: 5 door Prestige SD4 auto in Barolo black with ambience interior, pano roof, privacy and 20" style 6 alloys.Very Happy

RE: What to replace the Evoque with?

I found a couple looking into and at mine today in a car park in Glasgow - even after 18 months people are still finding the Evoque a fascination. I treat all onlookers the same, unlock the car from a distance and when I get to it I ask them if they would like to see/ sit inside................. not had the offer turned down yet and even though my interior isn't one of the "regular" interiors being the Plus pack, everybody is very complimentary about it.

That's exactly how I feel - love it! Right now, I wouldn't swap it for anything else.
