Hello all,
I am considering purchasing an Evoque and would love to use it as it was intended. However, I have concerns with the reliability of the pop-up shifter. Is there any way to bypass it if it happens to fail for some reason? (I remember previewing the Jag XF with a similar unit and wondering the same thing, but I was not as concerned as that car usually stays close to civilization.) In the Evoque, if out on the trails, assistance could be very far away. I know it is still a new vehicle, so most people probably have no issue yet, but I am thinking worst case scenario here.
And what happens when the battery goes flat? Can it easily be put into N? I am thinking of towing or recovery situations, how would this work?
Thanks
