    Are you a public servant? You sure act like you have a stick misplaced!

    Loosen up, kick back and enjoy your Latté

    Ex-public servant, ex-South Australian, Trumpy is main transport, Evoque is for weekend travelling and going bush.

    Most LR & RR drivers in ACT/NSW seem very stuck-up, at least Evoque drivers, which are quite a few now, acknowledge each other on the roads.

    Mmmmmm, latte.

    Well, my wife has wanted an Evoque ever since they came out; mainly because it looks only like an Evoque!!!!!!
    Recently she looked/test drove a number of other soft 4wds-- Jeep GC ( ahem, told her she was mad), Audi Q5 ( poorest ride and equipment level of them all);Renault Koleos ( cheapie, but not bad ( for a Nissan)), Peugeot 4007 ( better, and a few more mod cons), but they ALL look alike; you really have to look at grilles and badges to tell what it is? Similarly Tojo, Honda, VW, etc.

    Well, as we had 2 cars to dispose of, Peugeot 407 V6 ( very sporty!) and Citroen C5 HDI ( most comfortable of them all, and for 8 years proved super reliable), bit the bullet and yep she "bought a Jeep";
    No, just kidding.
    Now a pretty red Evoque TD4 Pure in the garage.
    So far she loves it; it's economical; quite decent ride; and better equipped than the $90K Audi Q5!
    Parked next to my 2003 Td6 HSE and 1994 Soft dash LSE.

    So now the Evoque is 6th RR in the family!

    Must be completely mad?

    Meant to add; went for TD4 vs SD4 as only 20 Nm torque difference ( and an extra exhaust pip!) but $4000 less; put that to the inevitable extras. Tech pack/ all leather/auto/THAT unique metallic red paint/ +her extras????of which there are PLENTY to choose from; started to wonder if a steering wheel was extra!
    I see that can buy a power box from UK for under $200 and bumps TD4 110Kw to 140Kw; 400 Nm to 480! If the need ever arises.

    Steady on mate, I live in Canberra! I'm a pesty, spend my life dealing with stinky possums and in roof voids baiting rats. Yep, a right stuck up snob I am LOL And hey, you seen my new Rangie, it only 29 years old!

    If you looking at poogoe/citroen ... DON'T BUY A 4SPD auto ..... 6spd manual or auto (the Asian AM6 'box) is the only way to go. I'd only bother with a C5 myself if it was the X7 series ... you can get them with the 2.7V6 diesel used in Land Rovers I bought a 407 6spd manual for my wife. I reckon the suspension under it is crap... Go the late model X7 C5.

    seeya,
    Shane L.

    After countless cars our 2015/6Citroen C4 Picasso is probably the best car we’ve ever owned and certainly won’t be the trade in.
