Not sure on the comparison there deano
Considering the speed differences, yes. Seriously, this thing was gutless. Mate has Peugeot RCZ 1.6 Turbo, goes extremely well and averages better MPG than my 1.4 Fiesta.
For the modern fuel efficient petrols around, I just think it is poor.
All the toys were nice though. SE model sonhad full leather, climate, bluetooth etc. Only thing itwas really missing was an engine and satnav

The RCZ uses the same engine as my car, 40mpg from a petrol around town is pretty good IMO.. Mt sisters diesel SLK (2013) manages 49-51

38MPG from a heavy 1.6 car is very good if you ask me

38mpg from a big, heavy AWD vehicle is fucking good tbh Pow, get a Dodge Ram diesel. Dirty big Cummins that won't quite get excellent MPG but you'll have 850lb/ft torque

Never understood why you would want a diesel convertible really. But they are nice cars, bit old hat now.
Not fancy an E9x vert? Think most are diesels now, and the newer facelift M-Sport packs are bloody gorgeous.

Deano I don't want a fucking Transit Mokka drives lovely. Only complaint I has is it's a little noisey when you pull away.
Nic thanks, I could go for the 320cd but that would be boring. What were you getting out of yours?

just got a 330d coupe on the m-way mpg wise its mid-late 40's as standard, depends how much u boot it round town, they make a lot of torque and its rather fun so yeah its nowhere near as bad as i thought it would be on fuel for a 3L 6pot

Best car I've owned, once mapped they are seriously quick. Really good to drive as well. Get a later one with the higher powered engine if you ar considering it.

That's pretty nice.
Will be 40k by the time you get one that's not a base model, and doesn't have the range rover badge to match the evoke.
I know it's got 7 seats and will probably be better than an evoque anyway but that's not what sells them.

They seem to think it will be a massive seller,
Much better rear suspension set up than the evoque, and shit loads more gadgets

It'll sell shit loads anyway. More gadgets will only be until an updated evoque. Swings and roundabouts.
Bodes well for the new proper disco.
