i noticed no one in here messes with the Jaguar......is there a reason???
I got respect for the old XJ jags.
Jaguars are nice but I don't have a reason to put them above any other in their class?
Technology? For that kind of $ other options crush them
Performance? nah. But that XK exhaust sounds beautiful
Reliability? Nah
Think its mostly for people who are locked into the British heritage from before
the xkr/s has a 5 year warranty, its no more less reliable then the aston, the astons steering rumbles like fck when reversing or stationary, and you cant see shit out the front or rear window, but they are both basically built on the same chassis (like the vw toureg, porsche caynne and audi q8) i was disappointed with the db9 handling, but its more of a grand tourer then a sports card, it eats up motorways, but you cant chuck it around a country round like a 997 c4s or turbo...
i wanna get a c4s cabriolet when my insurance is up, and hopefully they dont gimme some stupid quote, as i had 2 big claims this year...
even the vw pheeton w12 was a test bed and basically same platform as the bentley continental... the pheeton is one of the biggest value you can get for a car...
these days, most car company are owned by eachother
Yeah I def feel you. Never driven an Aston. But you def see the similarities between the prev Gen XK and DB#
That same 5.0 supercharged V8 Land Rover and Jaguar::not a coincidence.
My neighbor has a black Phaeton, Highly slept on.
I'm in the same boat as you... I like my G37 It's a "GT" as well but it fun to whip it, got the coil-overs so it hugs the road. That would make my next move Audi S5 or M3
BUT, I like the big coupe: 650i more luxury.. Tough, tough choice. ha
yeah brother them pheatons are value for money, you can get them cheap, i wouldnt get one, or a bentley for that matter, if i was to get a car like that i would get an s class merc, im a fan of merc's, i had an ml and slk 55 amg, which was mad quick, it was the formula 1 pace car at one point, i hit 160mph once lol it was limited to 155, but i was going down bit of hill on motorway so clocked out, but still had lot more to give, it was good for 200 i reckon haha
i got some advice though, if you get an m3 in the e46 shape, do not get one with an smg gear box!!! they are pile of shit, and WHEN they go wrong, which they will, it will cost you 1000's as i doubt at that age they will be in warranty...
ive just got a 5series bmw with the m sport kit on it atm, i had an ml merc but totaled it in 2days of having it! lol so my insurance company said for a year they wont re insure me on anything over 35k, 2ltr or 4x4! so i got this 5series for 23k i think it was, which does 58mpg, so when my insurance is cool again i wanna get a c4s cab... sell my motorbike and get a cheap 4x4 incase of bad wether or i need to pick more then one person up lol
the best handling 4x4 i had was bmw x5, had it in estroil blue *spell check* it handled like a car, you got chuck it round country roads, and we got loads of them over here in england lol i had a range sport with handled like a boat, but looked dope, but for comfort and pure style and interior the merc ml was by far the best, and also best value for money...
but yeah man them s5's are mad dope, you really get alot for your money with an audi... and their metallic white is a super fresh color...
though the other week, i was on my way to a boxing match chisora v haye, and as i was driving past, some dickheads opened the car door, and i smashed straight into, and theres an ongoing beef between the insurance companys, so thats not a good for my c4s hopes lol the cost of fixing just my car was 7k! fckn joke, as you can see, its not my fault as the side of car is damaged, not the front, so i was already half way past them when the opened the fckn door! the damage was alot worse in the flesh lol every panel on passenger side was fckd, whole new door, re jigged, re pained, the works, fckn gutted, i missed the fight to!!! my bredrens got the train, up, but i had to leave it as i had to get the car back hope, which was hard work, as the arch where rubbing against the wheel! the window wouldnt even go up! lol
