Merc - the Jag is a wee bit too toned down tho.....hmmm still the Merc



If Voting Changed Anything, They Would Make It Illegal.

Jag for me I'm afraid. The back of the Merc looks like somebody sat on it.

After working with aa Jaguar Main Dealer I always yearned for one some day.
That “dream” was realised four years ago when we purchased a lovely 3.0 XF

Yes it was lovely to look at, great to drive but reliability issues were a problem and my local main dealer simply ripped me off.
On top of that I had to fight Jaguar Cars tooth and nail to get badly corroded doors replaced.
Just one month after getting four new doors the car was written off in a non fault accident.
I’ve owned a Rover consistently since 1986, I currently have three plus two other British cars, a Mini and a Vanden Plas Princess 1300 but I needed a change so purchased a CLS Shooting Brake and have never regretted it for a moment.

I'd go for the Merc as there are a couple of issues with the Jag - the exterior colour and the interior colour.

They are both lovely cars I love the Jag but the build quality is no match for the Merc but I've never been a Merc man. I've sold a few over the years and they just didn't do it for me.
