Hi
I have had my Evoque for 2 years now and absolutely love the beauty of the car, the looks it receives, and the 'poke' you get out of it in Sand Mode.
The only problem I have had is a sticky volume control on the steering wheel (not really worth mentioning) - until today .....
For some reason the drivers' door decided to lock itself when the door was open this afternoon - which meant the door could not be shut - thankfully I was at home with the car on my drive so no great shakes regarding security.
LandRover Assistance were with me in around 2.5 hours (I was probably given a low priority as I was safe and there were no kids involved as the car was at home) - the service was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
The Assistance guy literally took 5 seconds to correct the problem (hold the door handle up and click the lock/unlock a few times) - but we then had a cup of tea and chat about Land Rover, new models, what we liked and disliked etc
All in all it was a great experience (yeah I know it's strange to say this after a car problem) and really solidifies my love of this marque.
Next year however I will be moving on to pastures anew - 3 children now means that the Evoque is not quite big enough (though I can fit 3 Child Seats across the back row) - so I am saying "goodbye" to my Evoque and "hello" to a Sport - I have been tempted by the RR Sport SVR. As yet my wife does not know the capabilities of the vehicle - so I will be leaving the exhaust in quiet mode, and only touching the throttle pedal when on my own or with my eldest son onboard !
Thanks
