Its a ladies Range Rover. It will only have tiddler petrol engine surely not a supercharged V8?

 

[Sandy]

Horrible cars there’s more suspension on a park bench

 

[Agriimark]

Seen more on the back of a recovery truck than on the road

 

[ollie989898]

Does the Evoque have the troublesome diesel engine that dilutes its own oil with fuel constantly?

 

[grainboy]

Ouch, yes may be ladies Range Rover, but thats okay as its the for the Mrs.

Looking at used 17 reg, 240ps, petrol, but may consider 240ps diesel, I’m quite aware of land rover problems, as I run Discovery 4 commercial, no problems so far, just keep an eye on oil level and change regularly.

They are a sales success story for Land Rover, and have sold in comparatively large numbers because people like them and their heavily styled appearance and driving experience, so although not my cup of tea, who am I to judge.
It is probably worth highlighting that most detractors have never owned one.

Yes, the Ingenium diesel. They have sorted that issue on new ones with the ugly retracting door handles.

However, the OP is looking at a petrol one. No problem with these engines afaik.

Stick with the petrol version at that age. The diesels have a very real issue with the DPF mounted too far from the engine, causing regeneration failures unless regularly driven long distances. They also dilute the sump oil with fuel and may require oil changes at half the advertised mileage as a result, which JLR do for free at this moment.

We had an si4 , was a nice car with all the toys and it went like stink. but we found that around town it was very jerky when trying to drive in traffic and was very heavy on petrol , low 20’s all the time .

Mum had several Vogues and sports and then tried an Evoque once me and my sister had our own cars, she had it less than 6 months then went back to a 'proper' range rover. Nothing mechanically went wrong with it but it was very uncomfortable, cramped and low.

When talk to the guy at the service garage the other day about 4x4 cars etc , He said Have you ever seen the talaban driving around in any thing other than a Toyota

 

[Northeastfarmer]

Unless you’re a female they look hideous

Get a second hand Mercedes G Wagon, very little depreciation and as we all know German engineering is far superior then Indian engineering.

They are nice cars. Not for me but ideal for ladies. Interior is lovely. Petrol engine I presume turbocharged to chuff.

Very true. Looking at news reports from the Middle East over the decades you would swear it’s Toyota VS USA.
