I had a mosey around in one at the Dealership on the weekend - was with my 6 and 3yr old boys at the time so Fisha's story above struck quite close to home

I quite liked it. Agree that the look from the rear is not great but that is what all the models in the range now look so unless you are heading back to a L322 or Disco 4 there's not much that can be done. Was very very comfortable and the infotainment screen was very slick.

We then got into the F-Pace and both my Boys immediately preferred it over the Velar! I guess the Velar will offer up good competition for the Macan which I see as its only competitor - apart from stealing sales away from the F-Pace which I am sure was not the intention.

I am on my 4th Landrover now and do love the brand but if I had the moolah, my next car would be a Macan or Cayenne (having a 911 as my second car) may have swung the tide a bit  African Bush Junkie ... in London!

Seems a lot of car for £44830 for the standard trim 2.0 Diesel D180

this weeks autocar reviews the D240 HSE at £66k........

aparently the car is lovely but the engine fails to excite and manages to miss the 0-60 quoted time by 2.5 sec..... which is pants.

got 3.5 stars. which isn't good. At that price why wouldn't you have a sport or a D5 with the 3.0 v6 in it instead, it would be a better use of the money. However at the moment you get the feeling that if you put a bit of a deposit on one you might make a few quids as I bet the waiting list is going to be fairly hefty!! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
