My husband and I have been car shopping and test driving a few cars in the last two weeks. But still waiting for a better time and better finances to support our purchases.
Having some second thoughts about the evoque and it's reliability. I know in a forum we tend to hear about lots of people's problems with their evoques. But one of the things most owners seem to want is better built quality.
Should we invest $75K+ on a possible dud (but a sexy one at that)? It seems to be abit of a russian roulette to get one with no problems. What really draws me to this car is how amazing it looks not just on the outside, but how good it also makes you feel on the inside. But is it worth spending that much and then finding out later you have problems with it?
We have looked at a few other alternatives. Non makes me feel as good as the evoque would, but the closest one is the VW Toureg. At least the quality of the interior reminds me of the evoque. The exterior, not as much. But generally, still very comparable, but more expensive!
On the cheaper end, we have also looked at the KIA Sorrento and the Hyundai Santa Fe which are actually the same cars as they both come out of the same factories so i have been told. The Kia seems to be my better xhoice out of the two. There seems to be a lot of vehicles now offering alot of options as standard in their ranges, but cheaper, where LR have kept theirs as extra options.
I have thought about BMW and Mercedes, but interiorly, they both look dull! Why would they build cars that look good exteriorly, but does not transcend interiorly? Haven't thought much about Audi yet, but it seems an improvement.
What are your thoughts?
