    We've been driving our Ford Puma for 4 years now. Nice car car for a family of 3/4. The mega box in the back is great for tall objects and small suitcases so really great for family trips. And the seat covers don't stane so fast plus they're unzippable so you can pop them in the washing machine, clean them and put them back on the seats. So Ideal for a family with young messy kids. All together a great versatile family car who don't wanna go big.

    Not sure what people see in Range Rovers, they're only viable as long as the warranty lasts. Get rid as soon as it's not fully covered or you're on the line for a new engine if the chains randomly snap, or if the gearbox falls aparts, or the steering rack dies etc. etc. I've seen cars come back with major work required TWO WEEKS after first registration.
    Having worked with them for years the list of horror stories is endless. I wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy.

    The fact that Cinch think that the Range Rover Evoque is a good SUV shows those working for the company don’t really know what they are talking about …. The Evoque is the worst car made by Range Rover, completely unreliable, the boot is smaller than a mini countryman and interior space is more cramped than a Dacia Duster….

    • @cinch
      @cinch  10 месяцев назад +7

      Hey Deborah, we agree the Evoque isn't the most practical, but UK sales prove it's highly desirable. And once you get behind the wheel, you realise it feels much more plush than the alternatives you mention. We love the Mini Countryman and Dacia Duster, but for those wanting a more high-end experience, the Evoque feels very nice 👌

      Hey Neil, thanks for your comment. Not only do we disagree, so it seems does the UK public! The Evoque has for many years been one of the most popular cars from any category. And for good reason. We put it on this list because lots of buyers want something stylish, and the Evoque ranks very well in this regard.
      That said, Sam does acknowledge that the Evoque isn't as practical as the BMW X3 at 04:10. It's a car for customers looking for something with more "pizzaz" 😎

      @cp4512 Год назад +1

      @@jasonsmith1158 no they don’t or there wouldn’t be massive depreciation compared to other brands. The terrible reliability is shown in every survey from every motoring organisation and is based on owner feedback. And I can tell you from personal experience of owning one, they are terrible and the dealer network just makes you throw good money after bad trying to fix them. If you buy with a dealer warranty then it’s just an inconvenience having to spend so long at the shop, but if you’re out of warrant and have to pay for the repairs yourself then it’s horrifically expensive unless you’re very lucky. Recommend you look at a few car reliability surveys. Everyone knows they’ve been easy to steal for years, but Land Rover is on,y trying to fix it now because so few people want to buy their products and insurance companies are refusing to insure them - this is what forced Land Rover to final,y take action. They never sorted out the oil dilution issue on early Ingenium diesels, just offered free oil changes until 50,000 miles when most original owners have sold on their cars or the PCPs have ended so punt the problems to out of warranty owners.
