Default Looking at my first Jag today

Going to look at a 1996 VanDen Plas I saw driving home covered in snow and is on Criagslist. Just doing some research before hand. Looking for something I can use and then give to my daughter next year when she turns 16. It has 75K an looks good on the Craigslist photos taken from 15 feet away. I have owned a Saab 9-3 since new and was thinking about an old 900-93-9000 for her, but maybe it is time to dump the Swedish "Chevys" and come over to a proper English "Ford/Lincoln/Mercury". Will the big cat's straight six move me away from those four banger turbo's?

Welcome to the forum.
Once that big cats straight six digs it't claws in,it will be hard to shake. But I have always ended up returning to straight sixes after trying V8's, 4's etc.
