In the Rain, XKR, M6 or S5?
Hello from Seattle, Washington!
I must first shamefully admit I am not an esteemed Jaguar owner. Truthfully, I never would have considered Jaguars before my friend bought the 09 XF; beautiful sedan. It looked wonderful, was extremely comfortable, and produced a great sound. He has since switched to a 07' BMW M6 in pursuit of speed.
As I am now in the car market again I have added Jaguar to my list of possibles. What I'm considering now is an 07-09 XKR (before the round shifter), 07 M6, and '10 Audi S5. The M6 is the fastest, XKR most beautiful, and S5 slowest but only 6MT option.
I am leaning towards the Jag but am worried about reliability and will be making liberal use of the forum to better inform myself about the car's issues or lack thereof.
Thanks for having this forum! Hopefully I'll turn into a Jag owner soon. If not, thanks for the advice!
