It's surprisinglyand civilised at the same time.
a friend of mine has one and he has been over the moon with his, enjoy yours 
It will get through some fuel I would imagine and I talked my Dad out of buying that model because I shared my fuel cost experience of my V8 X5 with him so he opted for a diesel instead.Angie4m wrote:Hopefully it will be.......it better be!

Just have a trek to Essex on Saturday and have a 330 odd mile journey back............the V Power points card won't know what's going on, it's used 'occasionally'
I love the full fat models 
If I was needing it to go miles then it wouldn't be my car of choice but we are used to the low mpg figures. Watch this, I'll use it more than I expect.LeeZ4MR wrote:It will get through some fuel I would imagine and I talked my Dad out of buying that model because I shared my fuel cost experience of my V8 X5 with him so he opted for a diesel instead.Angie4m wrote:Hopefully it will be.......it better be!

It will sound immense with that exhaust on it for sure

Until he knows the extent he's refunded us the deposit and my train travel but if it can be fixed at a decent cost then I've advised we will still happily purchase.
Feeling a bit sad and peeved as I now need to drive to Durham tomorrow to drop off a watch. Correction I need to drive Mike to Durham to drop off a watch grrrrrr!
- GoneDon't knock it Angie, ours is brilliant in the snow, frugal, great torque, quick, handles really well, what's not to like? Only gripe is the boot is too small, other than that apart from badge snobbery, which I'm not accusing you of, they are a cracking SUV.Angie4m wrote:You never know Lee, still might end up with the one we were already purchasing or a better one.
He's now looking at evoques...........eh no way! I want a proper 4x4!!!
I'm not knocking it but the reason we were going to get a RR was because we do a lot of camping, we do shooting and sometimes you need to get to the back of beyond and a Skyline and a Z4 don't quite cut it to get there. He also does airsofting which also has the same issues.john-e89 wrote:Don't knock it Angie, ours is brilliant in the snow, frugal, great torque, quick, handles really well, what's not to like?

- GoneIf you need lots of space for gear then yes the Evoque falls way short, we just chuck a roof box on for hols etc, and the RR by definition may well ride better if you can live with the expense and size, but as for getting into remote, difficult area's the Evoque is perfectly capable and I'd say easily a match for a RR in that situation, in fact after driving my mate's supercharged v8 a few years ago in snow I'd say the Evoque is more controllable in snow.Angie4m wrote:I'm not knocking it but the reason we were going to get a RR was because we do a lot of camping, we do shooting and sometimes you need to get to the back of beyond and a Skyline and a Z4 don't quite cut it to get there.

He's currently watching evoque videos but I'm taking him to the local LR dealership tomorrow so he can see both side by side and have a seat and see what he thinks. I would need to drive an evoque to see what it was like, I do really like them and registered interested when LR said it was going to become a reality but the RR & RRS just drive like your wafting on air. They are a beautiful car to drive.
and living in the Peak District it does all we need. Thank you John. Your feedback is exactly what we need. It's one thing trying it on the road but hearing real feedback from owners helps beyond doubt.john-e89 wrote:If you need lots of space for gear then yes the Evoque falls way short, we just chuck a roof box on for hols etc, and the RR by definition may well ride better if you can live with the expense and size, but as for getting into remote, difficult area's the Evoque is perfectly capable and I'd say easily a match for a RR in that situation, in fact after driving my mate's supercharged v8 a few years ago in snow I'd say the Evoque is more controllable in snow.Angie4m wrote:I'm not knocking it but the reason we were going to get a RR was because we do a lot of camping, we do shooting and sometimes you need to get to the back of beyond and a Skyline and a Z4 don't quite cut it to get there.

Anyway each to their own and the RR is a cracking motor, I'd have one if funds we're aplenty but we're very happy with the 'Beckham bus'
Best of luck getting your RR.

and the feedback from owners of the evoque seem really positive too, so wishing you all the best either way.
