X4 looks great in black!Thanks- will look to arrange a 'full' test drive- Black is Ok with a light interior colour in my eyes- i have owned two such - Freelander and when clean it looked great !

Very steady in high winds on motorway , engine and Auto box smoother than Evoque and ride better on all three settings.Handling sharper than mine - more car like
Minus points - not as high up as I would have liked , Don't like the iPad - stuck on dash and the 'bling'
Not decided yet.
Went to see Volvo XC60 - liked outside but inside very 'dated' small Nav screen and concerns about future value based on the huge discounts advertised on the car in showroom
Don't know what to get- looking for High Driving position- Disc Sport similar to Merc but leather / finish better in Merc than Disc Sport- don't need seven seats so why 'pay' for them- need ideal 40 mpg
Budget is @ £40K would consider Demo
What are others looking at as future Replacement ?
I've got the same choice to make - but keep coming back to the evoque. Had a long test in a BMW 5 Grand Tourismo which has bMW 7 wheelbase, and a high driving position. Liked it a lot apart from the ride. On 21" run flats felt every small bump in the pot holed things we call roads round here.
