Default What is owning a JAG like?

When people ask me why I own a Jaguar. They said aren' t they expensive? Don't they brake down all the time?

This is what I say. First Jaguars are the only cars I have ever owned that once I get to my destination I get sad because I wish the trip would continue because I want to keep driving.

But to really sum up what owning a Jaguar is like:

Owning a Jaguar Is a lot like having a beautiful wife or girl friend.

They take a little more money to keep them happy but they so nice to look at and so worth the ride!

Dang, reading this review makes me want one SO BAD. I am trying desperately to wait until March or so to get one, but I think I really really want to get one before Christmas.

Owning a Jaguar is like dating a super-model with a bad cocaine habit. You know it/she will break down at some point, you're not sure where or when but you know it will be expensive when it does.

One of our members, Doug or Drew in Washington I think, sumed it up something like this:

It's a constant struggle between driving it for the pure pleasure of it or just looking at it in your garage to keep the milage down.

Thats not an exact quote but you get the idea.

It's the kind of car: -

- where you always look back at it when you have just parked up
- that is just so nice to go out for a ride in nowhere in particular just for the pleasure of the ride
- that when cleaning it you even polish-up the exhaust chromes !
- and more

Better than a date with a beautiful women......you can't wait to get in and you never want to stop driving, but the car doesn't talk back. And I always look back at the car when I get out....like a bug to a light.

The smoothest ride I have ever had. The only car I have ever owned where people turn and stare when I drive down the road. I love it.
