That whole post makes no sense!
If you were to buy something lower and RWD you would be buying something completely different in a different class that would be less practical!
Off-roaders (or pseudo off-roaders) are not very practical, their volume is compromised by how high their floor pan and load area are and how much space is taken by the transmission/suspension/wheels. A RWD estate would be more practical and offer more volume.If you were to buy something lower and RWD you would be buying something completely different in a different class that would be less practical!
The Evoque is surprisingly spacious, I suspect a lot of people who have posted negatives here have not actually driven one. The LR4 (Disco) is huge (90cu ft of carrying capacity) and it has 7 seats and the ability to go anywhwere. Where's the compromise there?
Somebody in current Autocar's Letter page from Oxford (not me) said he had spotted 3 of these beasts recently.
He had only one comment: Ugly!
Well, I've just followed my first, not for long though... I sped past to have a good deckers).
He's right, it's ugly as hell.
How does it drive? How do I know, so won't comment.
Would I buy?
No way, iiiiiit's aaaaaaaaa trrrrruuuuuck!
I hate any kinda truck.
And after all the hatred on here for the new MINI Coupe, and the slaggers saying it looks like an elephant has sat on it, well...
all I can say is, in the flesh, the Evoque looks like a bloody dinosaur has sat on it!

Which is, of course, why people buy Discoveries 
Everything's compromised one way or another, if you want something that can tow the Ark Royal and scale Ben Nevis then you have to out up with a smaller interior and poorer dynamics. If you want something large that handles and has a decent turn of speed you need to look like you've handed your b
ks to your wife.

So this gets 125+ comments and 7 pages...and a 420bhp RWD roadster from Merc can only barley muster up 2 pages in about 4 days....what does this tell us about PH?
It says people on here are always way too quick to moan about things than praise them.nickfrog said:

I really want to like this, but this side view:
Just makes it look ridiculous.
Just nakes it look like an Allegro !Just makes it look ridiculous.
and yes I agree,I saw two Evoques yesterday,the first I have seen and my first thought was one of these.
but I did like the white one I saw (5dr) & I see the 4wd one is only 1k more than the 2wd, they will do very well.

For anyone considering one just realise this - the 'Design Executive Director' for this car was Victoria Beckham. True story.
Ohterwise a good car, i've driven a couple and they certainly turns heads, although that could be me i am gorgeous...
This one has been covered alot but as someone else has said.Ohterwise a good car, i've driven a couple and they certainly turns heads, although that could be me i am gorgeous...
She was brought in early, commented on the interior, never seen again.
You may also notice that LR spotted its own mistake and went all quiet on the VB thing, its just the press that think its a very amusing joke to talk about how she designed the entire car (not mentioning any names - top gear)

Also, 44 grand for a 2.2 diesel engine is obscene. It actually makes me want to.vomit.
Why? Because you can't afford it? You think a Jag XF diesel is obscene too? You can pay over 50 grand for one of those. Do you think they should be banned and everyone should be compelled to drive cheap old small French cars because you have to? Maybe they should bring back Lada's and everyone should be made to own one so you can feel better.
