Lets see what james may thinks of it then

Anyone inspired to buy one after the top gear review? Not a bad test though, but it doesn't look very tall, i think the mini countryman looks taller.

I'm really surprised Clarkson didn't rip it to pieces being the Range Rover fan he is, it has gone up in my estimation a tad though ... I hope I don't have itch feet in a couple of months.

It's looks good but i'll never replace my sport for one, far too small  2015 Golf R DSG
Gone 2013 Mercedes C220 CDi AMG Sport Plus
Gone 2008 2.7 RRS HSE

I thought it looked awful. A complete and utter abomination of range rover. They could of instantly made it better and called it a Land rover, But oh No the RR badge will sell more to the poor unsuspecting wives and girlfriends out there.
"Look honey... look what a great man i am,. Ive bought you a Range Rover.... "
"Hope you kept the receipt" id say !
Quite frankly if someone wants to pay 40k for one of these then let them I however would rather let Sir Fred Goodwin look after my money than invest in one.

Who knows I may change my mind lets see after I drive one soon.... 

I will certainly take one for a test drive before I pass judgement.


Daz 2017 4.4 Autobiography FFRR - love this car
Gone - VW T5 Transporter
Long gone - 2009 Disco
Long gone but never out of my thoughts - 2008 TDV8 HST

Got one booked for a day when Matford get some demo's in, it doesnt look like theres much room in the back seats, and apparently the boot wont cope with much either, why did they have Sticky Beckham as a design consultant when it should have been Clarkson or Ray Mears ???????

That's exactly what the FFRR owners said about the RRS  '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

I actually thought it was a good article they did on the Evoque. Whether you personally like the car or not I just thought that for Once Top Gear was back actually carrying out a decent review on a car

Actually overall, I thought it was one of the best Top Gear episodes in years! Sebastien Vettel was brilliant as the Star in a reasonably priced car.  2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
2013 Evoque 5 Door Pure Tech SD4 - Orkney Grey with Panoramic Roof (Mrs E's new baby)

GONE - RRS - 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Santorini (2010)
GONE - RRS - 2.7 TDV6 HSE - Java Black (2007)
GONE - Porsche Boxster S - 3.2 - Black

Well all they proved was that it went over rocks and sand as well as tarmac, I think the design has a bit of Dakar racer in it ??? Shame it doesnt come with a decent engine, the 2 point whatever it is drives Ok and goes well enough in the Freeloader but it remains a little diesely, shame they couldnt rob a nice petrol from someone, or make a TdV4 !!

I don't know how they would make a TDV4 engine

They could use this one !

Came across my first REAL Evoque, Sun afternoon just before seeing Top Gear.

Have not been that fussed before seeing it in the flesh and still not.

Side by side with a Freelander left me wondering how much longer the Freelander will continue


The interior is probably what the Freelander should of had considering its premium price in the first place, but with its looks more appealing, better finsh same size and pricing more or less the same who will be left wanting the Freelander
