Jaguar XFR
berg:
Anyone got any experience of these?
Looking at the usual suspects to replace the ED30 with, budget £20k tops.
So B7 RS4 avant, E90 M3 saloon, 335i touring, Lexus IS-F, B8 S4 avant and then this popped into my thoughts.
A £60-65k car for £20k. Will eat rear tyres and brakes but you are looking at over 500 horses before you consider the Tom Lenthall modding package :evilgrin:
I think have ruled the Lexus out now as reckon the Jag will be better. Problem with the S4 is I only like the facelift ones circa 12 plate so cant get one for £20k. Am a bit put off the RS4 because of its age and possible not making power and the M3 looks great but boot is smaller than the Jag and the Jag is an M5 rival not M3, a step up in real terms.

Why do you want to replace the ED30 ?
I had the same dilemma and couldn't find a proper replacement so bought a Landrover !
I would make your budget a little higher and buy Hurdys MK6 R

Need something bigger, i am over 6 4 and my two boys look like they are going to be tall so priorities are rear leg room and boot space for family holidays hence initial look at RS4 avant and S4 avant. However, the Jag has a 500 litre boot so should be ok!
In terms of my needs I want the new car to be quicker than a well sorted Stg 2+ ED30; with a Stage 1 map so S3 saloon and Golf R estate would be ideal as lower than all the others on tax, fuel, consumables, insurance but the S3 saloon wont be 20k for 3 years and the Golf R estate only makes its debut on a 65 plate and I refuse to go higher than 20k as this will be the first car I have ever bought that have not been able to pay outright cash for it.
Eccie:
Audi B7 won't give you any more leg room or boot space than the GTI, so I think you'll need to look elsewhere - what about a Skoda VRS estate? may not be quick enough, but should give you some size gains

Andy haven't you been doing these threads for about 3 years... :grin: :laugh:
...So much so, that I actually thought to myself "he's already got a B7 RS4, why's he going for a another V8?..."
:signLOL: :P
