Hi everyone, been lurking around this site for around 6 months - probably exiting co. car scheme Aug '12 and really interested in an Evoque.
Currently have an '08 BMW 320d SE "Edition", and I'd assumed I'd be interested in the SD4 engined RRE, but having read the consumption figures everyones' reporting, I'm wondering whether it would make more sense to go for a petrol - if I end up with an Evoque, it would be my own vehicle. I have a 50 mile round commute, not so many business miles these days; although having had t/d company cars for last 10 years I expect I'd miss all that torque!
Mind you, by the time I've spec'd-up my ideal RRE Dynamic Coupe, I'm also tempted to look for an ex-demo '12MY RRS 3.0 diesel and be done with it, come August.... I know of course these two vehicles are two completely different beasts, but there's no getting away from the fact that my ideal RRE is best part of 45k !!
anyway, all that is somewhat pie-in-the sky at the moment so back on topic, just wondered with the really strong winds we've had in the UK last few days, what people's thoughts are on how the Evoque fares compared to anything else?
