Advice on my Jag purchase
Hi All, just a little bit about me.... I currently own a BMW 335i coupe and after 6 years of fun with the car I'm ready to move on to the next. I considered many brands and cars but i keep coming back to 2 (both of which are Jags) and was hoping you could give me your thoughts.
2013 XK-RS OR 2015 F-Type S AWD
I live in toronto and this car will be also driven in winter time, I drove my 400whp rear wheel drive BMW through 5 winters so far so i've got some experience handing a bit of power in slippery conditions. But should i be weary of the XKRS for winter and rain?

Welcome to the forum abhishriv,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
Follow this link XJ XJ8 / XJR ( X308 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK/XKR forum and this one F-Type ( X152 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the F-Type forum for help, advice and information. I suspect members will each recommend their own model as the best choice!
I recently considered changing to an F-Type. The only thing that put me off was lack of carrying space. The XK is a practical GT whereas the F-Type is a sports car.
You can also visit the Canada Region forum by following this link Canada - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham

Any European car is better in the snow than any US Domestic brand not 4X4. I have driven many US cars and the last 20 yrs. have driven nothing but European cars. My 2 MINIs even not 4X4 go well in our snow. I had a 67 Chevy C10, 86 Ford van w/posi and the last was a 07 Ford 150 4X4 did OK. Mustang no, Mercury Marquis was so so. But my Jags and Rovers along with the MINIs are excellent.
