Better read the reviews on the Crossfire. From what I've read it's bad news.
The nicest car I've owned was a 1993 MR2 Turbo.
Wish I had that car right now....Santa, can you hear me?
Car of my dreams Lotus Elise....SANTA!!

First car was a Vauxhall Nova,
Best car was a 1964 Series IIA SWB Landrover which I lovingly painted with NATO green matt paint (using a brush) and then proceeded to use as an everyday car during the week, off road on a Saturday (which is the most fun you can have under 10 miles an hour) and then spend EVERY Sunday repairing her so I could go to work on Monday! (Honorable battle scars are one thing - snapped halfshafts are something else )
God I loved her!!
I really hated my mate who can go through life saying that his Landy was his first car

The Jags are probably victims to english humor. For some reason. That is beyond comprehension to me Mercedes or BMW get highest respect anywhere in the world. Yet, when I drove longer distances the cars I saw having a breakdown matched a Merc-VW-BMW-VW-Merc-VW-BMW.. scheme. With BMW smoking from their bonnet rather often.Obviousman wrote:I always found the two-door version of that very good looking!

While the owner of a Jaguar Garage asured me that, if maintained propperly, any Jag engine will be reliable and live for 300 000 miles.
Laughing about corrosion, I would mention that Mercedes E-class didn´t pass technical examinations due to corrosion of stressed parts of the body. At the age of eight years. They built in steelsheets wtithout any laquer or anti corrosion treatment.
Not mentioning the problems with the body/rear suspension joint of the E46 BMW, the current 3s.. Which may corrode/fail/simply crack surprisingly.
That doesn´t make the Jag´s shortcommings any better, but shows it is just an average car with it´s reliability.
Somebody mentioned that, jupp. Another trait in which it was well ahead of it´s time!say, some 30 years..?Obviousman wrote:Not bad, but reliability of the computer systems wasn't exactly up to standards, was itEDIT: How could I forget about Star Trek on wheels, the Aston Martin Lagonda?

Beauties, all of them. Astons are the most elegant sportscars of all!
There is shadow under this red rock
First car was a 1980 Vauxhall Chevette (Shoveit) - it lasted three months as I used a Granada as a Brake.
For the last eight years I've had this VW Scirocco GTII
If money were no object I'd have one of these:
As money is an object, I'd happily go for another one of these if my car was written off tomorrow 0-60 mph in approx 7 seconds, in a car that looks like it should be owned by a grandma - brilliant for the traffic light grand prix, and cheap road tax! Crap handling though, in a recurring theme I wrote mine off in '97 by using a Granada and a Fiesta as a brake.

Not a fan of cars. They go from A to B when they work.
But nonetheless:
Currently driving - Megane 1.6 Alize
Fav car owned in past - Hyundai Pony (don't laugh, twas a solid little bugger, cheap to run, and was a great car til an argurment with a bus....!!!!)
Would like - either a Morris Traveller, or a Bond Bug.
Failing that, a Sea Harrier FA2 would do nicely. Easy parking, too.
