Time to go - Nowaytk - 13-01-2015 05:52pm
Tuesday, looks like I will be saying goodbye to what has been a really great car as the new one has arrived
Thought I'd list some likes and dislikes,
Likes-
The looks ( I still have to look back at it as I walk away
)The pano ( think I've only closed it a couple of times )
Auto boot ( no more dirty hands closing that bad boy )
The meridian ( awesome sound )
The handling ( especially in dynamic mode
)The looks ( I know I've already said that but wouldn't you say it twice
)Dislikes-
The 6 speed box ( why dont It change until 1800 rpm, feels like I've got to constantly change up to get a more relaxed, quieter drive )
The 4 pot derv when cold ( at its least refined, not very Range Rover like. If they could shoe horn the V6 in it, then it would be a different story )
The auto wipers ( total mind of their own )
Can't think of a lot more, if my circumstances hadn't of changed doubt I would be changing.
Hope to be looking back in on what has been a really great forum from time to time, just to see what's been going on in evoque land and hopefully making it to any meets etc

Needed the bigger boot space and the bigger engine
and as I wanted to stay with the brand, took the plung and went for a HSE sport in scotia grey

Good call. I'll need a pay rise to afford a Sport but I think they're great.

Scotia is a lovely colour, my 1st RRS was a similar shade except it was then called Giverny Green!

I've found that on a dull day it looks more grey than green, but in bright sunshine the green does come out. I did take a couple of photos at the bodywork garage and I assume it's because of my phone, as it does look a lot mor green than grey but it was more grey than green in real life.

Pity that LR hasn't given the option of the Aspen interior that I had on that RRS

You'll love it, it's better in every way than the Evoque and Freelander. I'm still smitten with mine after 10 months, and no real problems at all.
Tempted to order a 110 Defender and have a new Sport in March 2016.
RE: Time to go - Devonian - 14-01-2015 07:22pm
I know it's a bit of a safe choice but I love these in black. They look really mean.
It's amazing how much the interior has changed since Tim's old one. I guess the price is rather more chunky now so it should be more plush inside! LR are definitely moving in the right direction on the whole.
Congrats on the new car - it looks great in that colour.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll post some more pics after Tuesday
Chris, funny old world, passed dealers today between jobs and ended up taking a 110 out for a test drive to see what there're like as thinking of a 110 hard top for work ( don't need off road ability for work but they do look good as a work vehical) forgotten how bad the turning circle is, I think it's Tims fault for posting the one he's getting
forgot how many times I bashed my elbow, but still not a bad drive even at 70 on the motorway
