Just curious but I would like to know which engine I am driving. The car is a loaner (2013) while mine is getting a new leather dash. Here is the Vin # SAJWA0ES9DPU00588 Thanks

 

Sorry…..by placing my mouse on the vin # I got a decoding function that told me more about the car than I wanted to know !!!

Wow, I had no idea 4's were so cheap to buy.

 

Well, I will go you one better. This is a 2013 turbocharged four banger (2 liter) and I just can no longer stand a four cylinder unless it is a hybrid……can't stand the sound of the engine (sewing machine) when you hit it, not to mention the lack of power. However, am I blown away with this Jag.(all things considered). The off line acceleration is almost as good as my supercharged XF (moderate force) and the highway cruising is very comfortable. The brakes are very touchy and grabby and the steering is "funny" and very sensitive (took a bit to get used to). The car just performs very well for a 4 banger and sounds better than any other I know. Don't misunderstand me …….it does not have the performance of a supercharged car and the turbo lag at times is very unsettling. However, for the price and style and comfort (18" wheels) not bad…..not bad at all. It beats the hell out of any other 4 banger I am acquainted with. I would like to add that I really liked the soft touch buttons and the drive from the dealer to home got me 30 mpg !!

 

I thought they introduced this version specifically to attract woman and "safe" man drivers i.e., mainstream market.
