LOVED it so much until 70K miles-need new engine
I posted a review of my Evoque at 65K, stating that I would be a Range Rover driver for life. I truly loved and still love this vehicle. Then 66K miles hit and it all went downhill. I regularly maintained the vehicle. At 66K, a gear became completely shredded, one that controls many functions of the vehicle and shouldn't have been shredded at that point. 3K to fix. I was willing to overlook it. As I was willing to overlook the interior lights randomly coming on 5K miles into owning it, the stereo not always working until I stopped and restarted the engine, the steering wheel controls randomly working, the best MPG being 17, the brakes needing replacement once a year. All good. Now, at 70K miles, I need a new engine, and neither the dealership nor nor second opinion, a trusted mechanic can explain why. 70K miles. $15,000 to fix. The dealership, one of three I have been to, are complete [non-permissible content removed], and are unable to offer any explanation or offer for a trade-in. The fourth cylinder just all of a sudden stopped firing. I guess that means new engine. Again, 70K miles. I really do love this vehicle, but I have heard the same story from a couple others. Lease it. Don't buy it. What a shame.

Excellent value when purchasing pre-owned.
From my experience and from what I've read in reviews it is best purchased used with records from a private party or as a certified pre-owned from a dealership. This car gets a lot of attention and rightly so as it looks as amazing inside as it does on the outside. The car has predictably good road manners in all conditions even in snow. The Range Rover Evoque is a comfortable, reliable, well appointed road machine that offers a fun driving experience. Mine has had no issues to date. Two thumbs up!

Great Looks, HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION
I got the Dynamic because I liked its sportier looks, but I cannot get over how much I HATE the transmission programming. Around 30 mph if you are maintaing speed in traffic and give it just a little gas, it drops a gear, jumps the rpm's to 3000, the turbo kicks in, you yank your foot back off and try to slowly accelerate. HORRIBLE, especially for a >$60k vehicle. I have never had a more jerky ride, and it is making me hate this vehicle. And on top of that, my tail lights filled with condensation after the first car wash. 6 months later, I am still waiting for the "new improved ones coming out in 2014." Kind of ruins that look of quality and prestige...
Buyer Beware (!)
Absolutely do not consider purchasing this vehicle. I purchased in DEC 2015 with app. 35k miles. I was unaware several repairs had already been made. The vehicle required major engine work in JUN 2015. The vehicle completed stalled while parked and I was stranded for 3 days our of state. It then stalled with zero electric while I was driving less than a couple of weeks later and after over a week and a half is still in repair at dealer.

Do your research before you commit.
I just traded in my 2013 evoque, which had 74600 miles on it. I bought it used in 2017, which had 57200 on it. I loved the car but that thing was in the shop every 6 to 8 months. My turbo went out twice. $4100 each time to replace. My alternator went out two weeks ago. That cost $1600. My infotainment system also had issues with glitching. Had to have a software update which cost $160. Maybe mine had gremlins or maybe it's the brand. Do your homework before you buy one or you'll be spending money to keep it running.
