Thinking of buying Range Rover Evoque for the wife

Poor visibility out of the back window apparently. Not ideal for reverse parking...

Mr Driver says he swears by a reversing camera.

£264/month - not sure how good that is for you

Stop mucking about and get a Kahn one.

Seem a bit pricey for a wife's car: £30k for a low mileage one, less than 2 years old and with the extra features (TD4 or Dynamic models).

Anyone got one of these so as to offer a personal opinion?

Or best to get on lease?

The present mrs BDI has one. I like it. Observations:
1. The boot isn't too big so she can't buy too much tulip.
2. There is no manual handbreak lever to get in the way of those romantic Gillian Taylforth moments.
3. The wing mirrors are too big and can hide a bus that's only 50 yards away.
4. It's got a load of parking sensors so reversing isn't an issue (also see previous comment about bin lid sized wing mirrors which do have uses other than obscuring oncoming buses at junctions)

The one big thing is that if the Land Rover dealership folk are like the Jaguar dealership ones, they'll fleece you for whatever money you saved. Get the Macan.

When it was launched, the celeb promoting it was Pish Spice, or Mrs Beckham if you prefer. Nuff said.

She had quite a big hand in designing it, which depending on you point of view, might be an even bigger "nuff said".

[eek]

Only person I know with one is my friends cousin.

She gets the pick of Jaguar / Land rover every 6 months while hubby (senior designer) drives his mk2 Ford Escort ..

Friend of mine had one, nowt but trouble, always a warning light on, always meant an expensive repair, followed by a few days, then warning light on again. He swapped it for a Merc A class AMG, A45 IIRC

Car or wife?
