Why are you changing to the Evoque?

For the last four years I have been having fun in a BMW 335i Convertble which I bought new as at the time i thought it would be the last time I would be able to afford to runs a "gas guzzler" and all the costs related to running a high performance car. Before that I had a soft roader (Honda CRV - sorry) but a good car never the less. Time has come to get sensible again and I wanted a car that :
Was comfortable
Could go any place
Had all the gizmo's I had been used to
Looked cool
Was practical everyday (within reason) including size for parking - have you noticed that car parking spaces tend to be golf/focus sized these days?
Still quite speedy
Cost less to run

Bingo
Range Rover Evoque

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: Why are you changing to the Evoque?

Because I now have to have a car that will fit into my garage while I'm away Big CryBig CryBig Cry Being a Land Rover Addict of a few years standing the Evoque came along in the nick of time, it has all the style and space that, as a single guy, I need. I very nearly bought an Audi A6 Allroad in February.............
It will be my 5th Range Rover and 9th Land Rover product since 1996.
I don't need it for it's off road ability as I also own a Defender90 which I don't mind bumping/bashing/denting or scratching, which I certainly do mind doing to any Range Rover

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: Why are you changing to the Evoque?

I strayed to the "dark side" after 25 years of Range Rovers and had an Aston Martin for 2 years. Now it's time to get back into a Range Rover. Love the Sport and the FFRR, but I think the Evoque is the right car for me now. All my Range Rovers were petrol V8s and guzzled fuel, the Evoque is a little more sensible.

Road presence! The only other car that I have looked at like that before has been a M3, Ferrari, Lambo, Maserati, Porsche and Lotus!
