My mom drives a bus, I mean a buick rendezvous.

Me and my dad both hate that car, and I was hoping we coudl trade it in and add a third jaguar to are collection. We haev a dog and my mom does alot of shopping and what not so she eneds a wagon or and SUV. We had a 2001 volvo and ereally liekd that car, but it was unreliable, and the lease ran up.

I really liek this car and I was jsut wondering liek how owners feel about it and about reliability and what not

 

well, i think you might also want to consider the saab 9-3 wagon; it's the only real one-on-one competition the jag has in the market in my opinion.

 

I hate saab.
I'm pretty sure the new volvo wagon is exactly the same as the saab tho, because all GM cars are the same.

Like the saab 4 x 4 i saw yesterday, and it was the same exterior as a GMC Envoy.

 

heh, well, ok. the saab 9-2 and 9-7 look like subaru and gm (because that's what they literally are),

but the 9-3 and 9-5 don't resemble other gm cars, and share little. 9-3 shares platform, much like
the x-type with mondeo, and the 9-5 is unique. (volvo is ford owned).

the 9-3 sportcombi is decent to look at, i think.

Hey 93xj6 volvo is jointly owned by ford (50-50), GM has no influence to the volvo...GM is connected to saab but not volvo. The suv you saw is a 9-7x, it's actually a really nice version of the GMC Envoy and Chevy Trailblazer! Volvo makes a suv called the XC-90. They are very nice and especially safe vehicles!

 

That X-type station wagon is horrendous, but IMO it's better than the volvo's I've seen. However, the pic that Mac put up looks really nice. If you're going for an SUV and you want top of the line, then go with an Escalade.

hey bigdreams what's up with the 2 posts? i thought racer was our resident drinker

 

Aww **** man! Who know what the **** happened? I'm sure it has something to do with my headache!

 

I can vouch for the Saab 93 as an excellent car in all respects......Estate (stationwagon) looks good too, although I'm not a fan of them.
Shares a platform with the GM Vauxhall Vectra and a few other parts here n there much like the X does with the Mondeo.
Mine may be gone on Monday though..........Audi A6
Time 4 a change

Man will you just get that audi already!!! JEEZ! Just playin jimmy you buying it new I havn't found heard that in your posts but than again I may be blind...afterall I'm known by my wife to be deaf!!!!

 

o yea i was just kinda sayin stupid **** when I said volvo is GM, idk why I even said that I know that's wrong.

But we leased a 2001 crosscountry and loved that car. We got it for little down and 299 a month shortly after september 11, so that aws a good time to get into leasing cars.

I think if we do get a wagon we probably will go back to volvo, wait till Jag gets a lil more experience.

 

I kind of like the jag it looks pretty good I think, I saw a brand new one when I had work done on my car back in the fall (brand new) for like 32k. Mind you it had everything but the navigation! To me thats a pretty good deal but that is a pretty good deal for a volvo! Supposed to be the safest car out there!

 

Not supposed to be, it's been proven the safest car on the road, by far, since the late 80's. No other car company can even compare, and yet the aerodynamics of the car still manage to be good enough for good gas mileage, and with all of the money they spend advertising their safety, I'm surprised that they still have money to make their cars reliable. It's a good company, but just not appealing enough for me.

 

Yeah they aren't too appealing but that new s80 has me thinking about when the x needs to be replaced. The car has so many features to please you the consumer but I'd imagine that the car is so safe your insurance company would start paying you to drive the car!

 

It's so ironic, but my neighbor had an 05 S80 and he just changed it for an 07 G35 4 door, and he now pays less money for car insurance...I was like WTF? He hasn't had any tickets in like 15 years either!

 

That makes no sense at all considering the cars are close to each other I thought!

 

The only thing we figured is that he got a discount for another year with no accidents and he bought a third house!

 

When I said close I was speaking in relation to price! I went on ebay and found that 1 07 s80 was nearly 50k over 50k buy it now!!!.

A 07 g35 was only going for 35K!!! The 06's were similar in price though!

Apparently they are completely different in price!

Just priced the 07 s80 and the price with the options shown on there many commercials for the car is a staggering $61K thats what most people are paying the msrp is 63,595!!! SCREW THAT!!!
G35 is only 41K with all options at what people are paying and the msrp 43,395!

 

Aww c'mon Aquill man.........cut me some slack........I'll well pleased.........lol
Picked her up Monday and been playing ever since.
2.0 TDI SE with ALL the options............Lovin it.
I think though that it will be rebadged as a 3.0 TDI Sportline Quattro.......lol
Yeah.........I managed to get it new.....well, used demonstrator........2 weeks old and 500 miles on the clock 3 years warranty plus 2 years free servicing, and it was fully loaded, so its all good.
I'll promise I'll try really hard never to mention it again....lol
