Good answer , although I have been googling reviews on F Types again today .... all the reviews praise it and state how it makes the XK seem so old fashioned and past its best , I do not remember them as outdated but was a couple of years ago I drove one , maybe I need another try :-)

Funny you should say that I had a test drive in an F type last week but the base V6 Supercharged , but even that a little out of my budget , Very similar in character to the Aston Not as Sharp as a 911 or Evora but a bit more focused than a XK or Maserati, beautiful car though and sounds good for a V6 . I tried to remember how it made me feel driving an XKR in comparison I did not get that wow sensation that the noise and theatre that a 500bhp 5.0V8 XKR gave me but over time I might appreciate it more , the cabin was a nicer place to be and it looks great !, It is still in the back of mind :-) but £35k was really my max budget so dangerously close .....

A varied selection I know but want a new toy before summer I have had a few 911s and Boxsters some American stuff and last year a V8 vantage which was a stunning , special car but servicing horrendous So want something different These are cars I like for various reasons XKR bonkers rapid, sounds amazing (but slightly dated interior ) XJR amazing interior love it would even consider a 3.0d remapped still under 6 sec 0-60 ( but its has too many doors ) Evora S bonkers fun sublime steering/ handlings feels rapid ( but build quality and hassle getting in and out might get irritating ) and last the Maserati a very beautiful car , having the italian experience ( a little down on power and expensive servicing )
Opinions invited please especially you guys that have tried the other cars compared to the Jag .???

Help me Choose XKR 5.0, Evora S, XJSupersport or 4.2 Maserati GranTurismo ?

It would definately be the V6 if i did ,there wws one for sale last week for £36k but sold straight away have seen a couple of higher milage ones at £38k and 10k mile ones at £40k , but i guess as summer gets closer the price will rise slightly :-(
