The boot lid of the Discovery is indeed absolutely appalling, but it’s unfortunately more than just that. The entire back of the car just looks like s
t; everything aft of the front doors needs binning and starting again. Quite how Land Rover have made it look so bad and yet less practical than before is remarkable.
The Discovery Sport side on has reasonable proportions. With he D5 it's like they upscaled it but somehow the maths didn't work and it ended up looking bloated.t; everything aft of the front doors needs binning and starting again. Quite how Land Rover have made it look so bad and yet less practical than before is remarkable.As for the offset plate, it would be fine - no slightly better - if a square plate was used as on the D4. Incidentally, there was a D4 that I saw today with a normal long number plate on the back. It looked wierd.
There's no real way of putting a UK square plate on a D5. They look slightly better with Yank plates.

You've had 2 JLR's and are considering another one. Hook, line and sinker!
Well I had two of the first F-Pace's off the production line that were, well, unfinished, to be kind. Considering another for the future, a £40k car with early issues ironed out, is a very different proposition to a £60k brand new car that was in and out for repairs within days.
Trouble is JLR make some nice looking cars, just such a shame the development is all done by the first owner

That's why I'm looking to replace the Clubman with a new Clubman now. The development work will have been done by now. Considering another for the future, a £40k car with early issues ironed out, is a very different proposition to a £60k brand new car that was in and out for repairs within days.

The Evoque is aging very well imo...
Fair few Velar's where I live, Kingston, and i really like them. First time i saw one, i was surprised at how relatively small it was in comparison with its big brothers

it wasn't a looker in the first place, never mind aging well. Especially in white.The Brummie said:
The rear view is disgusting. Should be symmetrical. Like a normal car. But it isn’t. Imagine being stuck behind that in a traffic jam.
I couldn’t. Just makes my teeth itch.
Sailing back on the ferry from Santander to Portsmouth last year, I had to park behind one. My poor car had to look at that asymmetrical arse for 24 hours. The interior really did look the part, but the back of the thing is simply awful.I couldn’t. Just makes my teeth itch.

Reading the Velar forum, there are still some big issues with quality, and having been through 2 rejected F-Pace's last year, I am watching to see what happens with pricing before I even look at options.
A mate has a Velar and has had numerous random issues with the infotainment - nav display stopping working, wrong 'phones syncing with the carplay.How do they still have issues with these things? Does seem a bit ridiculous..
My current company runaround, little 6 month old Kia Rio, has brilliant infotainment for an econobox.. Sat Nav works great, the screen and menus are nice and quick, DAB, CarPlay, Bluetooth etc all work with no issues.
I'd be pretty pissed if had paid / was paying for a £50k+ vehicle and having those issues..

Seems to be par for the course for a JLR product. My current company runaround, little 6 month old Kia Rio, has brilliant infotainment for an econobox.. Sat Nav works great, the screen and menus are nice and quick, DAB, CarPlay, Bluetooth etc all work with no issues.

I do see quite a few daily as my commute takes me past the JLR engine plant. But who's to say if they're actually sold vehicles?
Evoques definitely seem the most popular in my general area, all things considered, bloody everywhere...
Disco Sports are popular with the school run crowd - I live between a handful of busy schools so see quite a lot of them during the day.
Up where I work, around the kinda industrial and commercial estates, RR and RRS are on almost every company car park. There's a bloke I see driving about quite often who has an RRS SVR and a Maserati Levante, both in the similar blue paint. He gives them some welly too, bloody nice noise the SVR makes

I’m now seeing loads of them
I’m seeing loads of white ones with horrific wheels...entry level lease ones.Speced one up to what I would like, not mental, just a good spec, and it topped out at 65k....ahm ooot.
For me the RRS is the sweet spot in the range now, closely followed by the Disco Sport.
