Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Like a silent sparkling glamorous stately home with a V6 engine which gathers pace convincingly and reassuringly fast .

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No had time to find out.. but I am absolutely smitten with it ! its racing green with cream leather and it just is like sitting in luxurious arm chair; its clearly been loved and looked after with a full jaguar history. I lost my heart the minute I saw it! (and its not even for me -I bought it for my husband - I drive an Evoque !).
What's most practical about your car?
Its probably highly impractical but who cares when you are in love ! Fuel consumption figures are a bonus and the CO 2 figures are not horrendous for a vehicle of this calibre.Diesel definitely the way to go.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
SAT NAV , walnut steering wheel and dash - Oh just everything -it feels and looks like a premium posh car in every way.
