Had my heart set on a Jaguar XE, got around to having a proper look yesterday and was surprised at how small and cramped they are inside. There's nowhere to put your right elbow and your left elbow seems to slide around on the overly slippery arm rest. The rear space is a joke too, anybody over six foot would have to tilt their head. My left knee felt snug against the dash as well.

I didn't even test drive it, as I didn't see the point. As much as its not ideal I don't want anything else either, do any big gangly types live with an XE and how much of a problem is it?

My Dad has one. He's 5'10
I'm 6ft and can sit behind him (just).

For driving I find it very comfy.

But if you can't get comfortable then there isn't much you can do frown

They’re great cars. Make sure the seat is all the way down. Every time I get into one the seat is at the highest position (I drive a lot of them at work)

Rear legroom is a awful.

I always think jags are a bit anti-tardis.

Huge cars with tiny insides.
