    Toyota yaris does 100mpg and costs £8k. This cost me £2600 so I can afford the extra for the petrol and parts.

    It's a Jaguar - go buy a Yaris if you care.

    Not a sportscar, but it's like driving a 5 star hotel room with a big engine.

    People always comment and they never did about my Mondeo; makes me look middle-aged at thirty, but who cares - I arrive in style.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Better than a suite at the Hilton.

  • Security and Service

    I have no Idea, I just don't park it near poor people.

    Very good from the main dealer although pricey.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Wrong oil leads to low preassure when hot, changed immediatly and now fine. A Jaguar specialist service history is worth its weight in gold..

    Other

    Nothing. It's the gretest car I've ever had and the second cheapest.
