It would have to be an earlier model for financial reasons.
Are these reliable? Are there any major issues with these?
Sorry I'm so late to this Dave, my wife has one too. It's the SD4 Dynamic and it's been with us for the last 3 years. I have to say it's been a really great car, a hell of a lot of fun to drive and I'd imagine the petrol version even more so. Nine speed gearbox is really nice - in manual and auto mode. Considering the SD4 has pretty much the same numbers as the 2.7TDV6 in the D3 and early D4 it's plenty for the Evoque - load it up and it doesn't feel the difference.
I too found the seats needed getting used to. I think that would be the case for any car after being pampered in the D4. If you like your music, try to find one with an upgraded sound system. You'll appreciate it.
We did have the EGR fixed under warranty about 5 months ago but that's it. Oh, and that was done a month after the warranty expired which we really appreciated. It's done 105K Kms.
Anyway, if you have any specific questions I am happy to answer them if I can.
Cheers,
Sean
