It was really either the jag or a nicely specced up Mercedes Benz SLK for me, but I decided to stretch my budget and get the jaguar as it’s been my dream car since it came out. I briefly had the Merc SL on my shortlist until I Googled "SL handling in the snow" and that put me off as I nee...

I'd buy one on it's looks alone. Absolutely stunning

I recognise that car as it's in my local dealership

I asked about extending the warranty to 5 years and was told in no uncertain terms that the only way to do this is to get a quote towards the end of the 3 year warranty period. I asked for a rough idea how much it'd be and got a round of shrugs. I still need to set a reminder for this as I'll no do...

There was a Jag press release where they said that v6 petrols in the XJ/XF/XE (I think) account for only 0.5% of sales.

I once bought a BMW with leather seats that weren't heated and hated it in the winter so would never buy another one. I note from your thread on another forum that you live in Bucharest.

Everyone has different priorities but I want a reversing camera and heated seats on mine

I'm planning on keeping the car at least 18 months, I'd like to think the 400 will retain it's value a bit better. The F Type (like most other cars) will take a big depreciation hit in the first two years whereas a 2015 model won't depreciate anywhere near as much as someone else has already suffer...

Damn. I would have gone along for a look if I'd known that there were modern classics there as my next door neighbour is heavily involved with Middleton Hall

I prefer the quiet setting, it's still stupid loud when you floor it. I wanted the switch before I bought the car, now realise I didn't really need it. Am I alone in this? The F Type is on my shortlist of two cars and the possible deal breaker for me is actually the reverse of the question asked by...
