I OVERPAID FOR A RANGE ROVER EVOQUE - TO KEEP THE WIFE HAPPY

[@cabottaxi]

I went out the other week and bought the wife a tracksuit. Told her it was a little runaround.

[@carukchannel]

[@kevinmoffatt]

Tell her, even better, it will help get the fat off, she can wear it when she's dusting. I was married once, too. Can't think why it didn't last.

[@split_pin]

Glad Mrs CarUK likes the Evoque, it's nice to see one in a colour other than white or grey. Hopefully it will provide good service!

[@jameswalker7874]

Had one for years, and it's been so far very, very reliable. Not great on fuel at all, 30mpg on a reasonable run, round town is low 20s in an auto. Only area to watch is in the back door area. Pull the black trims off that go round the wheel arches, and you'll find rust. It's under trims so can be sorted without spending solid money on a painter, worth doing before it gets too bad. If it hasn't had a rear diff yet, it will go - good thing is rebuilt diff is fairly cheap.

Lovely car Lee. Your wife should be over the moon with this. The 2.2 litre engine is a good choice too. I'd much rather spend a little bit more on fuel, and not have to worry so much about expensive engine repairs. Those Ingenium engines make the Ecoboom look reliable.

Hi Lee. Wow, i can tell you that I'm over the moon for your wife Lee. She will absolutely love this car, and she deserves it. Nice one, Lee, for bagging this one for her. She will say it's about time that she gets rid of the other one and now gets to roll around in this cool 😎 ride. And nice one to you for bagging this one, I reckon this was a very important car to buy, if only to keep your Missus happy, and if it does nothing else but to make her happy then that will be enough. Fantastic colour 👌and a brilliant engine for her. This has really made my day that you managed to do this for your wife, so well done to you as well, Lee 👏👏. Great video again, bro. And we shall chat soon, my friend. Take it easy and stay safe to you and the family. 👌👍👏😆😅👋🇮🇪

[@stephenhealey6023]

Lee I have had a 2017 xe with according to you a totally unreliable ingenium diesel engine for over 5 years now and I have had absolutely no issues with it at all, it's fast, economical and totally reliable, as long as it's warmed up before you 'use' it and serviced at jaguar it's a lovely thing, so it does annoy me that you tarnish all these engines with the same brush when their are exceptions.

[@VSTV1993]

Got the 2.2 in my 07 Freelander 2 great engine, get around 33mpg, never had any major issues apart from wheel bearing (thank god it wasn’t the diff) main thing like you say is good and regular servicing is key

[@leedstown]

Lee I reckon the evoque in that spec is around half price what it would have been 12 months ago, is it a dynamic spec? As you know you want a auto in one of them, looks a good buy

[@carukchannel]

Yes Auto and dynamic spec 👍thanks for watching leeds

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

Hi Lee it's john from Gibraltar, I believe that these 2.2 diesel engines were Ford engines.A mate of mine owns a 2009 model with this engine.It's automatic and has done almost 180000km.He is very happy with it as he only had minor mechanical issues in the past such as the air mass sensor which he had to replace and a turbo hose.

[@carukchannel]

Hi john, yes the turbo hose is a issue but a cheap one to fix on the 2.2. thanks for watching as always 👍👍

I'd far rather be paying out for extra fuel and reliability than saving on fuel but paying on repair and lacklustre reliabilty, it's a no brainer for me so it would be the 2.2 all the way.....and it's a lovely colour into the bargain.

These are actually really decent cars, nearly everyone that slags them off have never actually had any experience and just act on hear say, the best version is the 2014- early 15 with the zf 9 speed auto with 2.2. My wife’s is on 112k now , never once had an issue outside of normal servicing The 9 speed is better on fuel , 44mpg on the motorway at 70 (1400rpm which for the ones that don’t Know, dosent always regen at that rpm so I always put it in S and drop to 7th gear which will regen perfectly)

Enjoying the channel. Honestly I’d rather have a Discovery Sport. More room in boot and better rear vision. But I do like that blue. And the Evoque is pretty and cosmopolitan - good for a lady. Not keen on black wheels. Only had them once on a silver Audi TTS and even though they looked ok, I’d rather have silver alloys every time. The last of the freelander 2 are nice (with the SD4 engine) but are expensive. Good reputation for reliability though. Finding a nice HSE late freelander 2 is on our list with light interior. I had a 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8 with 50k miles on in 2019 for a year or so and quite liked it but let it go in the end at 65k miles. It was a lovely vehicle but just a bit of a big boat. Had a couple of claims on the Land Rover warranty which was a good policy. Covered whole car up to £20k claim. Had about £3000 worth of work done on warranty at Stafford Land Rover with no hassle. Sold it for £22,000 with a cracking private plate (X44 RRV). I actually preferred driving my old Lexus RX300 which I had a few years back. Customer service at Lexus was next level- friendlier more helpful people at Lexus Stoke than Stafford Land Rover. Different vibe. Not to say Stafford were unpleasant but customer service not as good as Lexus. Lexus used to pull my leg when I told them I was looking at another Range Rover: “that will be in the garage more than on the road! Hope you’ve got breakdown cover!” 🤣 My favourite mid size “SUV” was a petrol Honda CRV some years ago. That car was a little belter and we got attached to it and never had a problem with it. But it was not economical - think we got about 28 mpg locally and maybe 34 on a run. Those early CRVs were my favourite. Only other I fancied was the Volvo XC60 diesel but never owned one. Saw a lovely blue one with the Polestar optimisation for sale in Derby a few years back with a beautiful light coloured interior and good spec but it sold before we could view it. I used to go now and then to Prees car auctions in the 90s. Used to be on Tuesday and Thursday. Think Thursday used to be for the real rough stuff! I saw some rough old sheds go through there. Can’t remember seeing much nice stuff go through. Looks better nowadays since it’s been rebranded. Funnily enough, I had a friend’s friend looking to sell her Evoque quickly into the trade last week. Don’t know if she’s sold it but it was cheap. But it was a manual. And it was the engine you said to avoid (2018 2 litre diesel TD4). Reg was EE14AMY. Probs still for sale. Similar money to what you paid for that.

[@wilf18]

Update: WBAC paid her £7250 for her Evoque

[@damianleah6744]

The road tax amongst other issues with the Range Rover is why I haven’t owned one.
