Answer 1

They have been a pain since the early 60s,any British car.

Buy a Mercedes instead,and a diesel.

Answer 2

I would acutally report it as a Lemon. You are going just about 3 Times a Year to get it repaired. If you say you are bringing a lawyer into it, Jaguar of North America will most likely completely replace the part that keeps malfunctioning, as well as add something like a warranty extension.

Here is the site about reporting a lemon:

If it does not qualify as a lemon, I would not buy another Jag due to the problems you have with your current one. If I were you, I would match yourself to the options below:

For Value and Technology: Infiniti M35 (23Highway/16City)

For Performance and Looks: BMW 528i (28Highway/18City)

For Safety and Interior: Audi A6 (29Highway/21City)

For Gas Mileage and Luxury: Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec (32Highway/22City)

For Uniqueness: Jaguar XF (26Highway/18City)

Good Luck on Your Search

PS. If you are willing to spend a little more money, the Lexus GS450h is a great choice. It is a hybrid that does 0-60 in 5.5 Seconds and manages 25Highway/22City. It cost s around $60,000.

Answer 3

Get a MB? Not! If you think the Jag has reliability issues, then by all means, get an MB as the others have suggested. You do not need a Jag or anything else in that class of a car. The suggestion for a Lexus was by far the best. A Toyota Avalon would do just as well. Both the Lexus & Avalon have high reliabilty ratings and way above average in resale values. You need to look at the bigger picture when selecting a car. Can a Jag do anything better or faster than an Avalon? And don't tell me style & performance are the main factors in selecting a Jag. What good is either if the car is 5 feet in the air being taken apart for the 8th time? Though I have not confirmed, I do believe many models of Lexus & the Avalon may indeed get the mpg's you seek. These are my opinions & I'm stickin' to em.

Answer 4

Yeah get rid of that lemon.

Get a smaller Lexus or something.

EDIT: It sounds like you don't want a reliable, efficient car, you want a "status symbol." Just buy the new Jag and keep wasting your money on gas and maintenance. It doesn't matter. You're not gonna listen to anyone anyway.

Answer 5

So after having this one in service 8 times since January you want to buy the S Type R?  Go get an Acura!
