It's hard not to get emotional when I think about owning a Jaguar. To me, it would be more than just a car. I know you aren't supposed to buy based on emotions... let me explain. I remember being maybe 9 years old in the late 80's... I turned the channel to MTV... I'll never forget that moment. Ever. I saw a Whitesnake music video that had Tawny Kitaen writhing around on the hood of a Jaguar. At that moment I felt something I had never really fealt before and I didn't know what it was, but I liked it.

Nearly 20 years later I can still remember that moment. I wanted to become a rockstar... unfortunatley, I have no musical talent.

In any general psychology course they teach you about conditioning, and this is a perfect example from my own life.

 

I never wanted a Jag, I knew they were pieces of ****..... I did fall for the X type because of the awd, the rear torque bias, the viscous coupling limited slip centre diff. that with a manual transmission and sport package without all the girly chrom and I started to look for one.

Then I found a car that had evey conceivable option on it for a decent price

I a still fighting a few rattles after throwing a few grand into suspensionbits and not sure what to do next. The customer service and dealer network are absolute ******.... I have never been told no so many times in my life, maybe I was spoiled but they have almost driven me to tears several times on the phone.

I cant believe how they will not come clean on their issues.

I have defective parts and shoddy repairs that they flatly refuse to deal with.

The brakes are crappy compared to any other european car, but the car does work well in the snow.

Just be aware of all this and make sure you have lots of spare cash to throw at the jag....
