The Top Gear (UK) review of the Evoque was pretty awesome.

It appears to be very capable off-road compared to the other SUV's in it's segment.

WE are. They keep us in buisness.




(A little humor, of course, but keep in mind, if you are seriously interested in one, that they are not only expensive to buy but expensive to insure, unreliable, and, once the warranty or free-service is gone, expensive to keep running).

They ARE great, though, if you want a comfortable, refined off-roader that will crawl like a mountain-goat in cushiness, quietness, and ease.

I'd like a five-door Evoque..............though yeah, I've been hearing about the relatively poor reliability of Jaguar and Land Rover.

Well, for me, what's important is that THE CAR DOES NOT STALL OR BREAK DOWN WHILE DRIVING.

I tell you, where I'm from (Philippines), only a few places here are safe............and sadly, most of them are crime spots.

While traveling, the point must be raised that the car MUST NOT stall or break down while driving. I do not want to be forced to be in places surrounded by squatters who brandish "icepicks" and knives to steal your car and possible kill you on-site.

Hence, if I know that the automobile I'm driving is relatively problematic, then I would bring it to service OR if I need to drive it, then I'm only driving it on highways OR within my village

P.S.
And this is probably why it's alright to bring a Lexus to school. You can show off to chicks and other college/university peeps on your premium and expensive ride YET you are assured that even when on the road, your car won't stall in sqautter or shanty areas and you can arrive at your destination safely.

Hehe just saying

Coming from the mechanic that works on these I guess I'll stay away. They do look sexy in the 2door version though. Wish they were reliable.
