I'm Richard, a new member seeking advice on which type of petrol engined Jaguar to buy for an ownership of at least 6 years covering c5000 miles per year (longer trips, no daily commuting) and from a budget of c£15K. Research indicates that this encompasses the X358, both incarnations of the XF and the early versions of the current XJ, but which one?
I guess this is a matter of personal preference (instinct favours the X358) and I have yet to drive any of them but I have some questions on which I should welcome advice, specifically?
- how safe is the X358? I can find no crash test reports.
- how serious and common is the steel rivet / aluminium panel issue with the X358?
- what are the relative reliability issues?
- doe anyone know of any good Jaguar experts in the Herefordshire area?
All opinions on the above and advice on selection will be really welcome. Many thanks,
