Economy
Value
Jaguar dealers can be expensive so look around. I found mine on the internet. Best buys are L/M reg.
Costs
Servicing costs are high but worth it. Find a good specialist. Fuel consuption 16/17mpg round town and nearly 28 mpg on mtorway.

On the road
Driving
Effortless. Quiet, smooth and deceptively quick.
Performance
0-60 in 8 seconds. Top speed 140. Can REALLY upset the boy racers!

Living with it
Reliability
Built for company directors. They don't buy cars that break down.
Image
Even at nine years old it an still turn heads (especially in Monaco).
Comfort
Poor leg room in rear - try to get a LWB version. Leather seats, air con, cruise, electric everything. Ideal for long journeys.
