Summary
What does this car say about you?
I really didn't feel anything for my old car, it was just something to get me from A to B. This one makes me grin just thinking about using it! I get out of it and feel expensive if you know what I mean. It has class. And the engine noise is to die for!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Family just love it. Neighbours are jealous!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, it has bought back the thrill from when I first started driving. It even feels similar to the buzz I get from big motor cycle riding.
What are you likely to buy next?
Something with Jag and uar in the name, and a similar sized engine.

Independent

No

When did you buy the car?
January 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes, knocked off a lot from the asking price and gave me top exchange for my old car.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Always wanted a Jag (I know underneath this is a Mondeo!) and fell for this one as I walked past it in a local used car sales garage!
What was the dealer like?
Very helpful and friendly. Not pushy and waited while I fixed the finance. Nice guy!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent driving position. Positive responsive steering. Brakes are smooth and progressive. There when you need them. The engine is superb. Masses of power when you want it and doesn't complain when tooling round town. Gear change is slick.
What's it like to park?
It's a lot bigger than my old car and the view over the back shelf is slightly limited, but this is all made up for by the excellent parking sensors. Have not let me down at all.

Very comfortable and easy to drive. Big boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The right hand pedal.
