Driving an Evoque right now - any questions?

[Submariner]

Brought my moms Range Rover in for squealing brakes and got an Evoque as a loaner.  It's not terribly practical, but in just one day of normal driving I've gotten probably half a dozen complements on it.  I'll get around to doing a review at some point, but does anyone have any questions about it?

Just how fucking horrible is it to see out of?  It's like a Camaro SUV.

It's actually not as bad as I thought it would be.

That's not saying much.  I expect it be near impossible, so if it's only "really fucking hard but doable", it's better than I would have expected.

I just don't get all the rage about this SUV. They're a daily sight in Munich traffic these days and I find them repulsive and ugly as hell.

[AutobahnSHO]

I think they look sexy.

I've only seen one in white, and it's an old chick ("reconnaisance" helicopter pilot) who drives it. She gets out of this



and gets into this

White is the ONLY colour the vehicle looks great, in all other colours not so

No questions here, I've already decided its a stupid vehicle.

It's absolutely stupid, but it looks kinda cool.

[SVT666]

I don't know how anyone sees out of those things.  It's the Camaro of SUVs.

Everytime I read the title of this topic, I misread it as "Evora."

The Evoque would probably benefit greatly from a sensor/periscope pod mounting on the roof.

Which vehicle's ECU makes more "decisions per second," the Evoque or the helo?

Speaking only of the engine control units?

Turbines are far, far simpler. Now, vclearly the helo has the advantage in the hunt/seek/kill computer department.

I do not understand the meaning behind this glitter throwing mustachioed man in a powder blue suit.

Its either a very complex metaphor, or utter shit.

Oh, make no mistake, it is nothing but utter shit.

[r0tor]

does anyone have any questions about it?

Will it ford 2 feet of water?

Nope. Its wading depth is 19.7 in, same as the LR2. LR4s can make it through 27 inches. Not sure what the other Range Rovers can do.

From what I understand, if you REALLY know what you're doing, you can push those numbers a little bit. But it's not something I'm interested in getting myself into.

I think he should test it...

Rupert would absolutely lose his shit.
