New Land Rover Cars for Sale near Manitoba

It’s a dream vehicle and lives up to the hype. Supremely comfortable, surprisingly quick, it feels like driving a Rolex.

My Evoke is fully featured to the extent that I keep finding new things. The integration with my phone (Android Auto) is seamless. The performance is great and I feel very safe. I still find the lane correction a little off putting but am getting used to it and the blind spot features are outstanding. I opted for the 360 cameras and love them. I had driven an Audi Q7 and found it just too big and the Mercedes felt a little fragile me. I thought about the BMW X5 but it didnt light my fire. I was going to check out the Jaguar but once I got in the Evoke, I immediately decided.

The vehicle is decent value when equipped with the V8 engine for reliability. It's a pretty cool vehicle with some great features such as the air suspension, heated front & rear seats, sunroof plus addition non-opening sunroof and glass panel for the 2nd and 3rd row seating. All seating is fold flat in to the floor so that gives a great big area for transporting or creating cargo space (safe flat areas for dogs instead of on seats) and the seating configuration is flexible. It is missing some creature comforts and the infotainment/navigation system is seriously outdated, and updating these items will cost a fair chunk of change of they are important to you. For example: this model does not come with remote start even in its highest trim level. This is a feature that is extremely important to me living in Calgary to preheat the cab in winter and precool in summer. That's a $500 - $1,000 after market upgrade. Phone connectivity, GPS Nav, music/entertainment, and vehicle health systems (tire monitoring, 4wd status, suspension status, engine/transmission/oil temps, etc) are other features that are important to me and require significant upgrades to be able to function as OEM with the existing equipment - this requires a digital dash and center dash console upgrade which costs approx. $2k to $2.5k in equipment without installation.plan another $1,300+ for installation of you aren't handy. As I would be doing the installation myself for all the above listed equipment, it would cost approx. $3k which is about half the price of purchasing a good used LR3. I'm personally ok with that as this would be a vehicle I keep around for a significant amount of time. Owners should be mindful of planning for significant maintenance costs to keep this vehicle on the road as certain systems, such as the existing air suspension, will need to be replaced eventually. If you are handy with wrenches, want a reliable engine, a cool looking and fun vehicle that floats like the 70's/80's comfy boats on the road, and are ok without the infotainment technology of today's vehicles, then this will be a blast. It also makes for a super comfy 4x4 offroader/mud crawler or a great vehicle for getting to off the beaten path camp sites if that's your jam.

While my 2012 is a Sport, it is in the same category. Let me start with, it is one of the best vehicles I have owned. And I have owned a few. Mercedes, Cadilac, Nissan etc. The 2012 I purchased used, with 35K and now at 178k. This vehicle has NEVER left me stranded, nor has it cost me my retirement to maintain. When you see the bad reports, it is likely because those owners only understood two things, a gas and brake pedal, and drove their vehicles until lights came on. When a RR is maintained, it will last longer than any of its competitors. So this car has be been a great value and enjoyable driving experince.

It’s a clean and comfortable vehicle. Plenty of room for the family and the golf clubs.
