Hi there,

Agrees, good vid.
Interestingly two thinks resonated with me. Yes the car does look a lot larger in reality than it does in photographs. I’d seen a couple driving down my local high street, in silver and they didn’t look that different from my mental photo induced size image. However when I wandered round the outside area of the Inverness dealer, and got a look UC&P they seemed massive. Might be the colour that makes a big difference, the ones in the parking area were all black or grey. Perhaps it didn’t help that they were parked in off-road height, at least I hope that’s the case. Possibly .the 18 months of driving small cars has changed my perspective. My Karoq seems quite large for me at the mo, that’s having departed from D3/4 ownership 2 years ago. 
Also the roof rails. I don’t have any need for them at the mo, but so much needs them if upgrading in the future that it might be sensible to order them. Though not for a roof tent as I have a habit of going for the occasional sleep walk.
Still waiting on the “Oh, go on then” from SWMBO though.  |

I think white and silver make it look much bigger than black does, but also black makes it blend into the background more. I love the white with lots of black trim bits on it though - The Stormtrooper Edition. Black with black everywhere looks more drug baron even than a black RRS.........

I would’ve liked to have seen a few more solid body colours, maybe a few more retro colours.
I forgot to say, good video, I’ve yet to watch the others but I will. |
