I'll never be able to afford an Evoque but I'd gladly have one if I had the money as it is an everything car
Great point Craig and I'm also with Gordy on this. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder and I'm glad it is, it would be a sad sad world if we all liked the same things. I was a big fan of the Evoque until I sat in one and realised the time it takes to get into the back seats with the electronic seat slider was just ridiculous. Then the man in the showroom kindly pointed me in the direction of the 4 door version and then it made perfect sense. If you want an 'Urban Off-roader' and have a need to go in and out the back for kids or whatever get the 5 door (Countryman, Freelander or Evoque 4 door). If you want an urban off-roader and have no need to constantly be going in and out of the back then get the 2 door (Paceman or Evoque Coupe).

I'm also with Euan in that I am really not a fan of what direction Mini are going, but as long as they don't touch the hatch then I can live with whatever else they are doing.
