- - picked up the Jaguar XJ on Monday (https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=298937)

I drive a jag daily and rover 75 at weekends. I find that the jag is a far better driving experience in most aspects. that said I'll never be parted from my 75. Rover has great enthusiasts and a community that helps one another.

A friend works for JLR and currently has an i-pace at home.

Welcome to the world of Jaguar! I confess I have always hankered after a Jaguar since I saw the E Type! I did look at the old XF estate but they would only supply it with an engine that ran on the Devil's fuel and my religion does not allow me to use diesel. Did you look at the I Pace? It really is the most extraordinary car and will never get another car that relies on bit of metal flying up and down to get it moving!

Drove just over 150 miles yesterday and it cost me less than £4 in electricity!

A good friend of mine has a 2004 XJ Jaguar. My wife said that there is more room in the back of the Rover75 than the Jaguar. His wife also said there is more room in the 75.

Hi,great choice,I bought a portfolio 14 months ago,always liked the look as it was different to all other makes,although mine is a very early one 2011 model it is a bucket list car,unfortunately was in hospital 10 weeks ago and by coincidence developed a drop foot so have been unable to drive for over 2 months.Bought it on the spur of the moment due to the colour being claret which is very rare on the XJ.Wanted originally the long wheel base but am so glad I did not get one.Never ever had trouble parking in my life and considering I also had American cars years ago I find this one quite a challenge.Must be an age thing.Enjoy it,not too many about,XJ50 will be seldom seen.Still will not stop using my 75.Regards Ryszard....

Funny enough, i was looking for a LWB XJ, and never bought and i was glad too, The car Is bigger in the back than my Rover 75, I have three teenage kids and they all said the same too, definitely more leg room in the XJ without the LWB in contention. The colour of mine is Gardner green SVO colour from Jaguar its like greeny/blue however sometimes in the light looks a bluey /grey and it looks great for it .

I think the split screen TV/Radio,Satnav idea is excellent too!. I still think the Rover 75 beats the Climate system though compared to the XJ much easier. Since owning it i have realized too how few XJ saloons there are on the road, bit of an exclusive club, compared to the XE/XF/F/I/E pace mob the XJ is on its own. Great car though well built machine.
