Having ventured into Range Rover territory once with an Evoque, waited 6 months, after 6,000 miles it simply fell apart and then spent 12 consecutive weeks in the dealer. They lent me a brand new RR Sport, that had it's own set of foibles, tailgate would open of it's own accord driving down the road, some days the radio display would be blank...called the dealer to be advised 'they do that sometimes sir', the central locking made all the right noises but did actually lock the doors..... Back to the Evoque after 12 weeks they still hadn't fixed it (included techs from the factory in Speke working on it) and I rejected it - LR had the wretched thing back.
I returned to Audi and have remained there ever since, one had got used to not knowing the local dealer's service department on 1st name terms.
Personally speaking I have maximum respect for the design (other than that grossly ugly bus with offset rear numberplate they are selling now), the Velar is a lovely looking vehicle but I'd need a lot convincing that the beauty was more than skin deep with decent engineering and fully sorted before it left the factory rather than having escaped from R&D.
