No, we need those. Also, I hope you've been behaving yourself and keeping your carbon footprint low. Remember I'm paired with you on the emissions sharing scheme so I'm going to need you to make a few sacrifices if I'm to buy the Jaguar. It's a bit juicy.

About that Jaguar.
In a scenario where I was going to get a car, at the top of my list would be a Citroen or a Jaguar.
That's based largely on aesthetics and various cultural factors. Unfortunately, modern car aesthetics are, on the whole, terrible. That of course is inevitable given the kind of people who have tended to buy cars since the 80s and the politics that became prominent then. Anyway, Citroen and Jaguar managed to continue producing good-looking cars into the 90s. As far as Jaguar are concerned, the models you mention are a bit borderline - earlier ones are better, and are what I would go for - but they'll probably do, for someone like you.
I reckon you wouldn't go for a Citroen.
A Jaguar though, you should be aware, comes with some level of endorsement from me.
Factor that into your decision making process as you see fit.

Yes I've already detailed on another thread how the XC40 ticks all my boxes, so it's no surprise you like it too. Bursting Blue is actually the best colour, but a bit too ostentatious for me so I went with grey.

Just bought a new (well, 18 year old) car and it's spotless. Owned by the elderly mum of a bloke who worked at the dealership, driven about 1000 miles a year and kept in a garage the rest of the time. Drives like a new car, or what I assume a new car would be like to drive.

What is it you like about the Kia Optima Sportwagon so much?

platinumsage already did the joke, which I anticipated when I considered whether I could be bothered doing a tighter crop but I thought I'd let folk have their fun.

The CX and BX are good cars (to those in the know).

Riding a Brompton with a power meter.
The 1st gen. Xsara VTS Sport was a good car too. The GSA was very interesting but I dont think I'd have one.

As soon as Citroen started putting conventional wheel arches at the rear wheels, they were dead to me. What a sell-out.

Shite grandad's cars. A mate's parents had a Pallas back in the 80s and it was a shed even then. Best you could say for it was that it never got nicked at any of the raves we took it to and the police were wholly uninterested in giving you a pull on the way home.

It's brilliant.
I first saw one of these when I got a lift home in a schoolfriend's parents' car and my mind was blown.

I've seen evidence that another urban75 poster was on a train going through Guildford on Saturday too. Using public transport when other means were available to them.

O I fucking love ours. Actually starts every.single.time. Has a heater and windows which open and close. A cd player which doesn't randomly eject stuff, very comfy seats, somewhere to put a cup ...but mostly starts every time.
I am less thrilled with the shiny sticker on the outside ( XLT 4X4) I tried to prise it off and got shouted at by sweetheart.

Passenger door doesn't open fully as hit by a deer. Might get it fixed if garages open again.
