They really do appeal as a car to knock around in.

What is wrong with me. :cry:

Im really not a fan of Jags. Any of them, but especially not that fekkin S-Type. Makes me want to vomit when I look into it's boggle eyes.

Love the XF's though, go for one of those

Don't go s type, major issues have been had with them.

Nothing wrong with big comfy cars

I've gotten attached to them lately as you get a lot for your money.....and a low MPG figure
