I’m liking the new Kia’s though. They have the warrantee and also get good write ups. They’ve just brought out that Stinger too with a twin turbo V6 and rear drive which would be fun.


I have a Range Rover Evoque and had 2 turbos changed over the last 4 years and recently the water pump after running only 76000 kms. The first turbo was changed before the 2 year warrantee period but didn't pay for the 2nd neither, I think they didn't dare to bill. These cars are coming with 5 years warranty now.

It's crazy! These things shouldn't be breaking that easily and frequently.

Affectionately known in the UK as a 'handbag on wheels'. laugh

I have a mate at the gymnasium that's got one.
He hates it and can't wait for the lease to end.
Hasn't been unreliable especialy, he just simply doesn't like it.

I LUV the way the floor lights up with the Evoque symbol via the 'puddle light' though.
Totally unnecessary, but cool

That's bad reliability though,.
I thought Land Rover had sorted their previous poor reliability issues?
Clearly not in your case.

I thought I was reasonably up to speed with all things motoring.
Evidently not, as I haven't actually 'eard of this one.

I am going to google it RIGHT NOW! laugh

Just check the small print on that 7 year warranty, as I'm not too sure what the terms and conditions are

Oh yes!
Now THAT actually does look like the dogs bollox, and I had heard of it on reflection.
For once, a new car that doesn't actually look like it's been designed by primary schoohell kids with mental issues and wax crayons too! shocked

I appreciate that taste is a personal thing however, especially when it comes to automotive preferences

It's a nice looking car and they had it up against the 4 series equivilant on Pistonheads and it fared well.

Trouible is it's a Kia and will take a lot to get people to spend that much on one. Might be a good second hander in a few years though.
