Post: Xenon headlight doesn't always turn on

Has anybody had this problem on their Evoque (or any other car for that matter)? My right headlight sometimes doesn't turn on. It'll flicker a bit when you turn the switch and that's all...

  Thread: Prestige Vs Dynamic Exterior
Post: RE: Prestige Vs Dynamic Exterior

I think that the prestige/pure is closest to the LRX concept and really like the way that the black sills make the car look slimmer. I didn't like the Dynamic at all until I saw one in the flesh. The...

Post: RE: Adaptive Dynamics

I have AD and even though I haven't tried one without, I have the feeling that like what car magazine said in their review, the ride is probably a little bit worse with AD.

Post: RE: Is The Evoque a 'Proper' 4x4?

Looking at the terrain they were going through in the video, what made the RRS win was that it had better tires. That's all. Having said that, of course the Evoque isn't as good as the FFRR and Disco...

Post: RE: Petrol or Diesel

Depends how you'll be using your petrol. I'm getting 21 mpg at the moment, but that's doing a lot of town driving in a very hilly town (and remember, it's a pretty heavy car to pull up a hill). At 75m...

Thanks benzina. That's still pretty wide... and wider than anything else in the class.

Post: RE: Parking Width

Having had a quick look around the web, it seems that most cars width is measured "excluding" the wing mirrors. Just have to measure by how much the folded mirrors protrude from the widest part of the...

  Thread: Parking Width
Post: RE: Parking Width

Yes, I know. Where I wasn't sure was if the 1965 measurement was with mirrors folded or without mirrors. As the mirrors don't fold much, the car would be quite a bit under the 1965mm mesurement if the...

Post: RE: Parking Width

I think that the stated width of 1965mm is with mirrors folded. But because the mirror don't fold very well, this might be a bit misleading.

I wonder how much adaptive dynamics cost in terms of fuel economy. They are on all the time and probably use quite a lot of current, no?

It's a bit easy to give the credit to Ford for the Evoque. Top management at Tata understood that the LRX concept had to be faithfully translated into production. This is exceptionally rare. And isn't...
