What does this car say about you?

You could be anyone.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Most like it I think, get the occaisional tease about it being 'an old man's car'.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, I love Jaguars, always have and hopefully they will just keep getting better like they are at the moment.

What are you likely to buy next?

Jaguar XF (older 2nd hand model).

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£5,800

When did you buy the car?

May 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

I paid a high price, but it was worth it to get the Jaguar Approved used warranty.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Friendly & helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Lovely for whooshing along fast A or B roads, nice quiet motorway cruiser. The clutch is a bit heavy when stuck in city traffic, so if you were going to do a lot of town / city driving, go for the auto gearbox.

What's it like to park?

Easy, good visibilty and rear park assist beepers.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Worn rear suspension bush - replaced at selling dealer's expense.

What's most practical about your car?

Good for winter driving compared to the big rear wheel drive Jags.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Heated windscreen. All wheel drive coupled with manual gearbox makes for excellent handling and road-holding.
