I love this format. The driver taking the lead and talking about the car with the passenger interjecting just works so well. Its like someone buying a car and taking their mate out to show it off and have a natter about it. Great video lads and two cracking cars to do it with to boot.

The 2011 to 2014 Jag has it all - heritage, looks, performance, luxury, status - and cheaper to run.

I have a 2011 XK 5.0 convert and I just love it. The back seats, that are unusable for humans, are indispensable as usable access space, I would be frustrated with an F type. I did a lot of research before buying it and the best quote I saw comparing it to the Aston back in contemporary reviews was this, "If you want a harder driving sports car, or absolutely need the badge, get the Aston. But if you want to take a long drive to the south of France in sophistication and comfort, get the Jag."

I have the 5.0 litre XK Artisan Special coupe. The five litre normally aspirated XK is actually a bit of a hidden gem, because at 385bhp it is quite powerful enough, but less complicated and with slightly better economy than the XKR. The Artisan Special interior really does look and feel special. As a continental tourer it is hard to beat, as it has adequate luggage space and the back seats can be used to take soft bags.

The XKR is an awful lot of car for the money. Mine is the 4.2 version and it really shifts when you boot it while still being able to cruise in comfort for the rest of the time. Cracking vehicle.

I went to a James Bond weekend last year where the brochure proudly announced there would be an opportunity to 'have a photo with a DB9 - a real James Bond car!' 🙄 I didn't want to be 'that guy' and correct them. It turned out that it was a typo and it was actually a DB5 with the world's nicest owner. 😂

The obvious answer is the Jaaaaaaag but I’m a Jaguar Junkie. I love the DB9, but at the end of the day…it’s gotta be the Jag. I love the hint of subtle discretion the Jag has to it. Because it’ll turn less heads then the Aston, but still retains the classic GT spirit and proportions, and to my eye, is prettier (taste is subjective I appreciate), the Jag becomes the perfect gentleman’s express. The Aston with the badge snobbery that comes with it (note: not suggesting Aston fans are snobs. Some might be, but overall they are lovely people) is a little too in your face and a smidgen indiscreet. The Jag is like a great butler. It just knows exactly what you need when you need it.

I'm currently driving a 2015 XKR convertible and owned a 2005 XKR back in the late 2000's. Between those two was a 2007 XKR coupe back in 2016-2018 followed by a V-6 F-Type (modified). I loved them all. The F-Type was probably the most fun sports car wise but the least comfortable and I found myself missing the GT-ness (lol) of the X150. I've also modified this one (Velocity AP tune and crank pulley) so it's plenty fast. Now with all that said, I sure do love the looks of the Aston's. The only thing that's held me back is the cost of parts. I do all of my own work and the Jags just aren't that expensive. Great video!

Both beautiful cars. Your DB9 economy figures are some what off point. I managed a very creditable 28.5 mpg in my DB9 (once) on a trip down the M1 at a steady 65mph. I was pretty stunned.

2:11 This mid-engined Ferrari chaser Aston was, I think, going to to share a lot of commonality with Jaguar's X600 programme, which had gone from a mid-engined concept, to front engined concept to cancelled project. That was going to use a superchared 3.0 X-Type V6, also to be used in an X-Type R but the whole lot got binned.

@philboyce1582 29 күн бұрын

Unless you want to scare the pants off yourself go for the XK in normally aspirated form, it’s plenty quick enough and no worries about superchargers.

@marklawrence2417 Ай бұрын

I bought a face lift 2010 X150 XKR coupe after test driving the DB9, Mazzer GT as options - on my second (1st was sadly written off by a berk in a Toyota Hi Lux 'sneezing') just love em. The Mazzer was WAY too slow & the Aston(s) didn't feel honestly much different. Thinking of getting the wife a carbrio, she loves the F-Type but it has no rear seats so our dog wouldn't fit & to be fair it is the same platform shortened 🙂

Might not matter as much to someone paying £80k new but just as the XK was being released the road tax changed so its now well over £700 a year to tax which does effect the used car values of XKs.

@@ClassicsWorldUK My son is "lucky" enough to have a rare VX55 pre production model that Jaguar thought were too good to scrap so has road tax at half the cost. I sourced a 2007Japanese import 4.2 X356 to get a pristine example and also avoid the rip off road tax.

The DB9 looks great but the runing costs would put me off so it has to be the X150, although I actually have a X100 which while it isn't quite so good dynamically etc I still think it looks better than either of these and.the interior may be a little cramped but it's got real class by comparison. Just my opinion 🤣
