Don't take my statement in the wrong light I love Jags but I know them to well.
I have grown up with my Grandparents owning Jags, they have had them all and they were all consistant, lots of problems. Although the XJ8 is better Ford has done a good job. Mercedes are built better, because Mercedes has always had more money to invest into R&D. But I love Jags they are such a nice car I will diffinitly buy one in the future.
