2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

I have loved this vehicle since the first commercial I saw in 2011 for the 2012 model. I researched every item I could find about Land Rover and this Range Rover Evoque that by the time I purchased it my friends were ready to see what captivated me so. The two-door model is sleek, stylish, and completely practical.

The only thing I dislike is the visor; the shade I pull down to block the sun. They're at an angle so it really doesn't block the sun.

While I love the Evoque, I was very disappointed that my golf clubs didn't fit in the hatch! The only other issue has been the eyeglasses port that constantly sticks... I often have to "pry open".

The only thing I dislike about the car is the paint, it's soooo soft/fragile, every little thing scratches it... I would think the Range Rover paint would be tougher, at least tougher than the cheap cars out there and it's not...

Would be nice to have the rear seats recline in this entry model luxury car. The Audi Q5 has this over the RR Evoque.

I would love it if the sunroof opened - even if to vent.

Would be great if the panoramic sunroof opened.

Two issues with functionality: 1) I hate how if you unbuckle your seat belt and put the gear in park, the car sometimes shuts off, and sometimes does not. I have had several situations when I don't want the car to shut off, but it does involuntarily (e.g., unbuckling seat belt to reach ATM, when at a red light and I want to take off a sweater, at a drive-thru window, waiting for someone but want to keep the car on, etc.). The programming should be changed so it doesn't automatically shut off just because I unbuckle and put it in park. If I want to turn the vehicle off, I'll press the Stop button myself. At very least if this feature is intentional, it should be an option that can be turned on/off, or at least be consistent (sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't, which is hard to predict and rely upon). 2) This one I really hate. If I'm connected to my phone via Bluetooth and talking to someone, and I park and want to continue the conversation, I have to press the "Use Handset" button on the console (which is fine) before leaving the vehicle. However, the next time I am in the car and I receive a call, the button "Use Handset" is still turned on, and if I answer the call, it goes to my handset. I then have to fumble wtih the phone and console, tell the person to hold on, while trying to go through the console menu to get to the "Use Handset" button to get the audio back onto Bluetooth. This is extremely frustrating, not to mention dangerous while still driving. The system should be reconfigured so that each time the car is turned off and restarted on the next trip, the "Use Handset" button is no longer active and the Phone system defaults back to routing calls via Bluetooth.

Ragged transmission upshifts at takeoff, harsh riding tires, road noise cause dissatisfaction of what is otherwise an enjoyable vehicle.

My sunglasses box is broken when I purchase the car.
