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.

Your only as young as the woman you feel........
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. |

That is very nice, but perhaps a "youngster's car" rather than the forum membership? |
