Not just me either then!

I did try the XK and was really pleased with it but the rear seats are a waste of time for me.

Thing is that, at this price, I could buy a s/h F-Type which is more modern of course.

Anyone driven and compared the two please?
F-Type S Coupe, I found exciting, current, loud, lairy and fun. But that is exactly what I wanted to have on my text drive. But not sure whether I want that all the time, which is what the XK could do, be either when you wanted it to be. The F-Type is alive when ragged, not sure it poodles too well I found the ride firm, constant gear changes & quite cramped.

F-Type R, may well be the better bet, but not at £90k

Thank you for that.

I was taken for a ride in one of my client's F-Type and thought that might be the case.

Cheers...

5 Litre Mustang at £32,995 with a 6 speed Getrag manual box makes a Jag at Aston money a questionable proposition. I love Jags, I am sure that they are worth every penny, but there is something here not quite right. Anyway, the XE ought to clean up!

2015 Mustangs have IRS, not live axle. As to build quality, are you certain you want to go there? wink
