Have had my XE 35t for almost 4 years now. Still yet to encounter any major issues. Car has been serviced at regular intervals on an annual basis and still runs as good as new. Nothing rides and handles this better in this segment.

Been running my new XE for seven months now. Lovely thing, nicest driving car I've ever owned. And so many people come up to it when stopped and tell me what a beautiful car it is.

A fair review, consistent with others I’ve read. To me the XE comes across as a car guy's car. It’s not flashy or pretentious, but is equipped with an exceptionally sophisticated suspension that gives the best balance of handling and ride in this very competitive segment. If you're a genuine motor head, the experience of driving a car - its responsiveness and road feel - are its most important attributes. Yes, the interior is a bit drab, but better understated than Tokyo-by-night cheesy. In the end what we've got here is an affordable, practical Jaguar, with that brand's unique combination of driving pleasure and sex appeal. What more could a car guy ask for? Since you ask, how about the F-Type's six-speed manual transmission?

+Viking Power Not quite. The Brits had over 10 Years for this and it has almost 7-8 cm less rear legroom than the Germans. Just looking great is not good enough anymore, just see the Maserati ghibli. Ive tested them out (for the leg space) - it even struggles over the BMW 4 Gran coupe!? And thats the freakin Gran coupe! Also: new XE = £24000 Appoved used Gran Coupe = £24500 This all matters. A lot.

The engines are not weak but tuned to an emissions standard?3.0 V6 Supercharged Petrol, smokes the germans 3.0's wit laggy turbos! XF 0-60 5.7 seconds. (I have one!)SVR's and P7's smoke AMG's and M's in terms of handling and close enough as makes no difference in outright performance but infinitely more sporty experience to drive than the competition.The Brits are here now with a credible performer in the market, let's hope the British become as Patriotic car buyers as the Germans, Italians and Americans.Jags finally rule, get used to it!

I will admit that, while still nice, the design of the interior doesn't exactly knock my socks off...It's a little plain imo. That being said, I'm not sure how the host justifies his comment about the interior quality not stacking up against the competition. The 3 series BMW has gotten slashed MANY times by car enthusiasts for their usage of cheap plastic-y materials littered everywhere in the interior and the hard leather seats. Plush isn't even a word with most 3 series interiors. Call me crazy, but quality wise, I'll take the XE any day over the 3 series interior.
@johntechwriter6 жыл бұрын
Aaron Moses Agreed. Since its inception and continuing to this day, I’ve been mildly shocked by the 3-series cost-cutting interior. Hard plastics and chintzy details abound. And it’s not like the car is bargain priced. At least the original 3-series were driver's cars. That is no longer the case. Current models are soft and devoid of road feel through the steering or suspension. They are expensive commuter cars for know-nothings who think the BMW badge will give them higher status in the Safeway parking lot.

if you take off the jag logo it looks a lot like a 2017 accord...but with less leg room, no rear view camera on the base model, but a bit more refinement inside and a more powerful engine, better handling and suspension I'm sure. Honda accord touring has better 0 to 60 times at around 5.8 seconds!

i prefer it over the German cars but in the end i went for the 2012 3series simply because at the point it was £15000 cheaper!! I couldn't ignore the idrive and more rear space + it doesn't look at all like the lizard the 2006 model did.

It finally looks Beautiful and timeless and has a Front-facing grill but what's finally? Well over 10 Years. The car for this crazy delay over the 2012 BMW will never outsell rivals in time and actually is terrible other than the exterior, the interior falls well short, for a decade you'd expect to be blown away by fine lines and bespoke trims but even a Skoda superb is more pleasant to sit in! And to bring it all to the worst crime of all, the rear is awful compared to the far less expensive German cars. There's freakin 8cm less room back there!! Apart from the pull factor exterior, it's total pee pee imo. All for a cute £25000. Lol. I mean, family would buy it in a sec if it were 'Standardised' to proportion but embarrassed by a ford Mondeo with children and adult at the back having little/no legsqueeze, wtf??! No thanks! Meh still, all the Brits'll buy it on a 1-1 basis like it's a TV or something, so that's about 10 million or so guaranteed lol.
