Thinking of one of these for my next tintop. Has anyone had one, got one that could give me real world facts and figures

Heard a lot of good things but no real facts

I have the 2.2 diesel for the past three years. Good car to drive responsive and a good chassis. I drive the snake

pass quite a lot which is fun. However, whatch out of the rear brakes my pads needing changing after 19000 miles. Quite often a hot brake smell from the rear of the car even after long motorway journeys. jaguar refused to accept there was a problem. Now covered 38,000 and still on the same front pads. I hope they have improved the sat nav as it is slow to respond to inputs. Spend a little too much time looking at the display than the road.

 

Test drove the F type both 3.0 and 5.0 now that is a car

 

Am afraid I will be going back to Mercs in May.

Be careful of pre 2012 models....They suffered a gear select problem which needed a new gear selector switch fitting... Apart from that a really good car.
