Summary
What does this car say about you?
I don't fall for the `German cars are best` rubbish. I had a BMW 530i before this and the Jag is superior in every way. Also that I recognise the allure of quality British engineering.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everybody loves it. Mine is in ultraviolet metallic and she's gorgeous.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes.There's no reason not to. It does everything brilliantly especially the way it gobbles up the petrol.
What are you likely to buy next?
Another S type or an XF. I'm a Jag man now.
