Generally they start to go wrong from year seven. lol On a more serious note. Some classic cars are been going for 50 years plus. After electric car revolution and banning internal combustion, I reckon some folks will stick to what they know, and keep their old motors, however, with the amount plastics and electronics, I'm not sure modern cars are built to last. In fact I think car manufacturers are aiming for their cars to have a expiry date of 5 years or something, like washing machine and fridge factories. You could break down and rebuild a carburetor or weld a broken manifold on an old car. What could you do with a plastic ones aye? I just wish good cars stick around. All the best.

[@philipyates7138]

Had mine a few months now, 2.2td4 black coupe 2012 pure. Although it is the poverty spec it still has tinted windows, heated seats , air con, adjustable ambient lighting, meridian sound system. Ivory leather interior, electric adjustable seats, parking sensors. It's my first ever land rover so I was surprised with how firm the ride is but after the recent snow I had a chance to take it out in the untreated back roads in Cumbria and it took it all in its stride. Iv since had it remapped so Although it's the TD4 it equals the SD4 in performance. I only ever use premium fuel, esso supreme or shell vpower. Il easily get 40-45 mpg if driven "sensibly" I absolutely love it and I'm definitely converted and when I'm ready for a change il be getting another from the land rover range, maybe a disco or newer, higher spec evoque

The Evoque for me is far and away the nicest looking (inside and out) car in its class. The interior looks bloody gorgeous and minimalist, which for me is a good thing. Great review, thanks again! 40mpg for me though is a no no, mine averages 60 so that puts me off. Bloody lovely car though.

Don’t hold on to these without warranty. Apparently gearbox and suspension also give common problems. Just my real world experiences.

[@stuartfowler9751]

I had a 64 plate dynamic a few years ago, the electrics were shocking resulting in a new battery the dealer network let me down badly as it was under warranty it took 6 weeks testing checking and god knows what else before I got a battery, the dealer even advised me not to fit one at my own expense, I offered to pay as it was all very inconvenient as they said it could invalidate my warranty. Also storage in the rear was not ideal there is no hidden storage areas in the sides or underneath the boot floor everything had to be on show I like small items out of sight, I no longer have it now a very expensive mistake buying it and one if I’m honest could only just afford so to not be totally happy was disappointing. I did OK on the trade in though for a new Tucson not as plush but no irritating inconvenient faults. Good video keep them up.

Hi Matt. Great reviews. I Bought top of the range Dynamic Lux for Delivery December 2014. Got it on the 10th Dec 2014. It was back in the garage before Christmas.... in the following 2 years that I owned the Evoque it was back in the garage a further 8 times. In the 26 months I owned it I was actually in possession of it I'd say 20 / 21 months. Great to look at, small to live with... massively underpowered & super unreliable.... never averaged more than 30mpg combined. Over the years I've had full fat RR's & RR Sports the car before the Evoque was a 2011 Sport HSE on it's first ever MOT in 2014 it cost me £4k so it was traded in the second I picked it up for the Evoque I ordered out of disappointment with the Sport. My genuine experience..... & recommendation to anyone is NEVER buy JLR unless you have lots of money & you don't mind not having your car a lot of the time you own it, cos it will be back in the garage more times than you expected. Shame because they are the BEST LOOKING SUV's out there. Wouldn't mind a review of a Stelvio if you get the opportunity Matt. Keep up the good work & I will keep watching. Cheers G

I had a top of the range Evoque for almost four years, it was very good, I'd even consider another in the future.

Just got rid of my 2016 Evoque 2l diesel days before the warranty expired. It was a nice car, quality interiors. However, of all the cars I have owned it had the most faults. I made many trips and spent many days at the Land Rover dealership, with one repair or another during the two years I owned it. It was stressful getting in the car and the diesel emission warning light illuminating even when I had been going out of my way to drive it on dual carriage way. Always counting up and worrying about the shorter trips into town, 6 miles away. Buyer beware with these cars, if diesel, unless you are comfortable with the risk of dpf issues.

@@darren4767 2 years later.... you still enjoy it? I'm considering buying one

Blending in your local area well with the Evoque ;-) good review as always, I know of someone who’s got the 2WD Evoque and they says it’s fine :)

Everytime I have been to my local landrover garage there is always one of these on the deck being worked on your better of getting your money and buy the 1st or 2nd series range rover sport in my opinion, a lad I work with has one it spends more time at Landover Stockport then it does being on the road with him re call after re call after failed parts but it's a land rover so people put up with it

As always... great video. Funny and informative and the vehicle looks good.

I've been soo tempted for so long, but every single person I have known that has owned one (and there have been a few) has had horrific (and horrifically expensive) issues with them continuously, and have vowed 'never, ever again'.

Test drove one in 2013 cause the Mrs wanted one, I don't like the look of them but I did like the way it drove apart from the rear hatch that wouldn't quite shut and an annoying rattle (on a demo!) it seemed well made but the pcp deal was abysmal - bought a top spec CRV for 200 less a month, which apart from the asmatic 2.0 engine was great, in fact we had two. The ridiculous extended service intervals don't help the dpf and if you don't want to pay stupid money for fuel buy some Millers ecomax and add at every tank fill.

Great review as always Matt. Seems to be loads of Evoques around. Loads of bargains. Mick

I thought this car was just for orange people in Cheshire - I see enough of them driving through Altrincham and Hale en route to Warrington in the morning, and I didn't get why they made a 3 door, but you're right -- the interior is excellent and it looks the business, and the ride height is certainly good. Great review. Not my sort of vehicle, but you're definitely my type of reviewer.

[@Jowurel]

Not sure if all the hate in the comments is justified. I’ve loved my 2015 Evoque these last 5 years

[@HighPeakAutos]

Jowurel Haha I was thinking the same. I quite liked it and I always thought they were quite popular... obviously not. It’s open my eyes

[@dogcatdogable]

lots of insecure blokes in the car community

[@mattsteel8583]
