Hi everyone. Not an owner (yet), but thinking about it. Need to replace my 2000 A6 and liked the look of the XK and very intrigued by the F-Pace. I'm not someone who necessarily needs (or would even appreciate) a great handling sports car, but not opposed to one either. Looking for something well built, smooth comfortable ride, wrapped in a bit of luxury. I like to hang on to the cars I buy, so I buy very infrequently. Not expecting to be able to do any work myself on my next car. I'm down to just oil & filter changes on my Audi. I'm definitely not the kind of person who cares what other people think about what I drive, but nothing wrong with rewarding myself either.

I think my biggest regarding a Jaguar would be my distance (98 miles, 2 hour drive) from the nearest dealer. Best case scenario I'm only going there about once a year for the first 5 years, but that may be way too optimistic. Need to decide whether the advantages of owning a Jaguar (about the only cars I think look good today) outweigh this negative.

 

Welcome.

Choices, choices, always a choice.

I would simply go for it. The cars today are more service friendly compared to previous versions.

I dont frequent dealers, only independents if really pushed. I see no difference in your area with that approach.

Hello,
I hope your search is successful.
I can hardly remember the last time I took my car to a dealer. I was in college, my dad insisted I take it for a compression check.

Welcome to the forum

 

Welcome aboard.

 

Thanks for all the welcomes. The thing about going to the dealer is with the Elite Coverage. So I would be going there for the first years for service. Not a big deal I guess. More important things to consider. I look forward to figuring this all out and checking out some cars in person.

 

Has anyone found out what is the height of the CG for the F-Pace? Any help would be appreciated.
FYI, U.K. F-Pace comes with 3-year, unlimited miles warranty. Why are we blokes in the colonies only getting a 3yr 50,000 mile warranty?

You've posted a question in Delfave's Intro thread. To get Views/Replies, your question should have either gone in F-Pace forum or a new Intro thread of your own.
