Hi all, strange topic but I've had a new Subaru Forester on loan for a week while the ARC bar was sorted (don't ask) and whilst I hated the low driving height to start with I got used to it. Now, even after two days back in the Sport it feels like a mighty great truck! Odd how you can get used to one thing and lose touch with another!

I miss the nippiness and the 45mpg, but I'm happy to be back at a sensible driving height but boy does the old girl suddenly feel heavy! Anyone else had this?

I had a Toyota aygo for a few days last week while mine was in getting a new egr valve and service,, take about chalk and cheese. Drove it home and parked it up over the weekend, it never moved until mine was ready, was like driving a cement mixer 2010 RRS, TDV8

I had a 2016 2L Evoque from a dealer recently. I can't speak too badly of it, but tbh, wife and I would simply never buy one. It felt small, unrefined, the engine was under powered, seats were 'OK' but not as comfy as the RRS. It was noisy both at speed and in town. It was the manual right enough, but honestly we couldn't wait to get our beloved RRS back. It felt smooth, refined, faster, just an all round better car. Exactly as I would expect given the two different cars, different markets and budgets, but overall I wouldn't rate them for the money they cost. Sorry if there are any Evoque owners here. 2015 RRS AB SDV6, Fuji White, Ivory
