Okay guys,
I guess i have been disappointed with my Jag because of the minor issues, along with the tire noise which hasn't been resolved since i had the car. Anyway, the car is at the dealer, so hopefully they can fix it.
However, i started to test drive some cars in the meantime to see what is out there. I would like to keep my Jag, because it is affordable and i love the way it looks, but my head is not clear at this point.
So far I have looked at Infiniti G35, Volkswagen Jetta GLI, Audi A4/A3, MazdaSpeed6.
I test drove the Infiniti and that **** is fast as hell. Loved it. Handles better than a Beamer, but much cheaper. Jetta GLI was a very nice car and for a 2.0T I was very impressed. I loved it and it is about 10K cheaper than Infiniti. Audi A4 is pricey like the Infiniti. It drives nice, same engine as GLI, but much slower b/c it is heavier. Mazda is fast is hell, not bad at all.
I am contemplating whether i should keep the Jag or get something else. I guess time will tell.

UGH of all the things to call a BMW..
Bimmer = BMW car
Beemer = BMW motorcycle.
Beamer = someone driving with the high beams on..
Jag is only affordable if you live with the issues.. if you fix them all it is a money pit.
dont compare the Jag to Jap scrap... or to peoples car... they are not competitors..

I like the way you are Dunhill that is my problem with the Jag.. I just want it to run properly, but it seems impossible. even if I have pay for the repairs that is ok.. But I cant stand driving this supposedly luxury car when it rattles and shakes its way along the road.

Nice bigdreams drown out the problems love your thinking~long as those noises aren't your wheels getting ready to fall off
! Hey dunhill how long is yours still under warranty??? What exactly is your price range? I assume you are looking at brand new cars...Why not look into a new jag! You buy a used one from a dealer that is like new you'll get the 100k mile warranty and a nearly brand new car. Problem solved~you still have the look, feel, and response of the jag while being safe with a warranty! Of the choices you gave I'd take the infiniti, even though I'm not a fan of asian cars. I think audi and vw are overrated overpriced german cars just like all of them. Mazdas are quick but still have a certain lack of luxury which it sounds like your looking for.

Okay guys. I got the Jag back today. Guess what the problem was that was causing the tire noise? The bearing on the front left side was bad. So it took retarded Jag technicians 3 triesto finally figure out what the problem was after telling them. Anyway, it is all fixed and NO MORE TIRE NOISE. I am finally happy. Therefore, I will keep it. All the minor items have been fixed/or replaced as well.
I still have warranty until end of June this year. But at this point, i don't think i have any major electrical or mechanical issues.
I saw the S Type R today at the dealer. 400 ponies!!!! Wow it looked really nice especially in blue.....It was 65K.

Yeah, but we've really missed race, you and some of the other frequent posters. Dunhill has come on a few times, and even Andy came by to say wuzup a couple of times, but between buck, bo, cadi, 04xtype and a few others who have come by, things have been barely staying afloat. Did I forget to mention aquiller, because he's really kept things running since he got the net at home. Boy am I glad he got the net now!

Yeah.........I saw it goin that way..........I spose you gotta remember though that the spring / summer is here too, and days are longer an nights lighter.......maybe thats had an effect too?
Good to see Aquill on the net at home..........I knew he'd be post crazy as soon as he got that sorted.......lol
