Economy
Value
Poor man's executive car with comfort and style.
Costs
Can be costly, but not if you shop around; join the Jag enthusiast's club.

On the road
Driving
Handles superb, no interior sound. Watch your speed on the motorways.
Performance
Fast top end. Incredible acceleration. A dream to drive.

Living with it
Reliability
Had mine over 5 years and spent £300 on repairs - not bad on a car 14 years old. Always starts first time, never let me down.
Image
It always turns heads. People give way. People still comment "you must be loaded to drive a Jag".
Comfort
Like sitting in your arm chair, no effort to drive. Always get out after a long journey as if you've just gone around the corner. Cruise control brill on motorways, but mind you don't nod off.

Security and Service
Security
Central locking, immobiliser and Jag alarm.
Service
Any problems always put right.
