i absolutely love mine. its a 3 door ES model with all the extras. its really well equipped for a 52 plate, has heated everything and is so easy to drive. its a td4 so the economy is good and with a ronbox economy, torque and power is excellent. i have some intercooler and intake modifications to do but its perfect as it sits. it has 145,000 miles on the clock and after some expensive repair bills just after i got it, it runs perfectly now and never misses a beat. i do see a few about but then i look at them for ideas i can use for mine, such as bull bars and lights. Id have an old hippo over a new evoque, or whatever that thing is that victoria beckham helped design, any day. I go online for my parts too, it is easier and most of the time much cheaper.
So yeah, its common but you never see two exactly the same (where i am anyway). And its a good, comfortable, relatively quick, safe, fun, capable etc etc car. Its common for a good reason.
