So a few days ago it drove off of the driveway and out of my life.. I kept it for about 2 years and 30k km. I never really enjoyed it though... I was afraid to leave it parked somewhere, afraid to take other people in it to the extent that we never went anywhere. We went to the supermarket at strange hours to avoid other people and I parked it as for as I could from the entrance, on 2 spots...
In fact I was so maniac about it that I decided to buy a second car just to not having to use the Evoque. So I bought a used Defender 110. And guess what: we went places! And I parked as close as I could to the supermarket entrance. And because it has 7 places we were able to invite our friends to the beach with it AND bring all our and their stuff. I love all kinds of sports and now I just throw my bike or wetsuits inside and head out. Some people would think that a Defender does not have any luxury. To me the freedom it gives me is all the luxury I want.
The Evoque stayed still on the driveway for about 6 months before I decided to sell it. Because I was so maniac about it, it had no scratches or marks and even smelled like new. I got a very good deal when I bought it and was able to sell it for almost the amount I payed for it.
The forum has been a great help for info while deciding on speccing the Evoque and owning it. I'll still lurk around because it's fun reading here. I don't want to put people off buying an Evoque. It really is an amazing car, just not for me..
