Blimey, Z4 to a MX5 now to an S2000, My choice was always between a S2000 or a Z4 and obviously my Z4 came up first, Though if I knew how prices were going to be I would have stuck it out for an S2K since they were reasonably priced 4-5 years ago when i was looking.

What's it like compared to your old 3.0si? I love the effortless power in my 3.0i keep it in 5th-6th and it'll pull nicely in traffic, I can't imagine the S2k would be as easy to live with, though that 9k redline would always keep me coming back for more.

Looks gorgeous btw

According to this place they always break

One of ours has gone wrong 3 times in 6 months

But that is more down to the garage being terrible rather than the car.

@grudas Said it before, but that looks great. Is it as tidy inside and under the bonnet as it is outside? If you ever decide to sell, add me to the list of potential buyers

Impressive for something built by JLR

That's lovely! Certainly a heart over head moment by the sounds of it and top money but decent ones are hard to by nowadays. Great colour too. Any long term plans for it?

Picked up my new car earlier in the week

Range Rover Velar R-Dynamic HSE
240bhp 4-cylinder Diesel
Air suspension
Fixed pano roof & Meridian 825W system
Went with the Oyster interior as I don’t like the coal bunker black and has Windsor leather 20-way heated, cooled and massage seats.

It likes to change colour to suit the weather

Firestar_3x · 23 Nov 2018 at 19:19

Looks great, you did the right thing getting the light interior, much nicer place to sit and looks more premium than black.

geekman · 23 Nov 2018 at 20:00

Looks fantastic, wish we got the lease deals over here that people get in the UK on those.

daz · 23 Nov 2018 at 20:44

I like the Velar but when I was considering getting one there were absolutely no deals about and once you start adding extras the price rockets.

Sorry, but that interior is hideous

The Union Jacks in the vented leather seats is a nice touch.

Same pattern on the speaker grills too. Really nice little details.

Sit in one if you can, its a wonderful place to be

I really don't doubt that, but it doesn't look eye catching personally

Haha! It'll be for sale come spring time

inside is tidy for the age! Outside has got dents, scratches etc here and there as you'd expect on 24yo car with mostly original paintwork! Engine bay is clean but not pristine! It's a very solid little car to be fair!

Honestly, right now I'm just going to enjoy it and not mess with it! The mods that I would have done from standard have been done already and to my taste.

Really? Exterior is a little polarising but the interior generally well received. Guess the infotainment system is somewhat overwhelming at first impression.

vanpeebles · 23 Nov 2018 at 21:56

It’s lovely

grudas · 23 Nov 2018 at 22:16

I think it looks great but I wouldn't want all that inside.. can't imagine it being as waye to use as physical buttons and all the fingerprints would drive me nuts.

ajgoodfellow · 23 Nov 2018 at 22:19

I do love the Velar - crying shame that the V6 petrol has been discontinued in the UK though. A car in this segment needs a six cylinder petrol to compete against its rivals.

Great choice for the interior - I personally don't like black interiors and it looks wonderful in a light colour.

I get that some people like it, but its white/cream. Not my preference what so ever.
