Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not someone who falls for the 'German cars are the best' rubbish. I had a BMW 530i and the Jag is superior in every way. Someone who recognises 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 it looks gorgeous.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. I've never been so impressed with a car before. Effortless to drive but goes like a stabbed rat when you want it to. The supercharger whine is addictive.
What are you likely to buy next?
Jaguar XF or another S-type.
