    Better car in what respects?

    What do you need it for?

    Personally I don't see the point of an X1, especially when the standard 1 series comes with an X-drive option. In fact I wouldn't go for either, there are plenty of more accomplished "soft roaders" out there to choose from.

    Who is using it most?

    The Evoke should be, in pretty much any regard, the better car.

    Better?

    That's in impossible question, without knowing what you are going to use the car for, and where you are going to go with it.

    First off - why 4x4?

    Just for starters - look at the boots - from memory the X1's is pretty darn small, as is rear space, but also, I think it's significantly smaller than an Evoque which I think is more X3 sized.

    So the X1 is better at having a small boot. :rotfl:

    Bought my wife an Evoque earlier this year. The pos has spent more time in the dealer than we've owned it. They have had serious engine issues.

    On the plus side, they've offered to give us the new model when it's out because they can'f fix the engine problem. ( it had done about 600 miles from new )

    I'll probably ask for my money back though
  • me, as a woman just prefer the styling.
  • oh dear that does not sound promising.
