They aint as bad as everyone is making out, my stepdad has had a 53 plate 2.5 V6 Sport for years now, its lovely to drive and has not caused any problems since he has had it apart from brakes and tyres as its quite heavy on both.

Not really my cup of tea but I wouldnt say no if I had too

Great to drive, the diesel is quite frugal.  Some have had reliability issues, oil leaks, lambda issues, PAS pumps blowing up...

....but it is essentially a mondeo with a posh different shell

+1

get an XJ12 or one of the X300 series and use the change to do it up.  That's the real jag experience, buy it cheap and spend a butt load of money keeping it on the road ;D ;D ;D
