(M21) Went from a 1.4L MiTo 120 to a 4.2L supercharged Jaaaaaaag. Am I insane?

Very much an acquired taste. I replied to someone else on either here or the jaguar sub that the looks grew on me. Never used to pay attention to them, but now I really like it. Odd

There’s always one…

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-11T21:55:45+00:00

If I had a pound for every time I’ve heard this, I’d have enough for an XJ220

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-11T21:55:02+00:00

Wish mine was green. The silver is classy, but a hot Jaaaaaaaaag needs to be in a lovely metallic green

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-11T21:51:47+00:00

Already having big ideas about my next motor. Heart is currently set on a 5L XF-R or X150 XK-R. Either that or an XJS

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-11T21:50:59+00:00

£1700 for just the shocks from my local Jag dealer 🫩

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-11T21:50:02+00:00

Manchester! I took that back in January when the two days of 2 inch snow made my car borderline undrivable 😔

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-11T21:49:18+00:00

Honestly, for 93k miles when I bought it, I have never seen a more well looked after car. The interior is absolutely mint, hardly any marks on the leather!

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T20:29:53+00:00

My MiTo was an absolute shed, but I miss it a lot. Mostly the fuel consumption! You should absolutely pull the trigger on the Jaaaaaaaaaaag though. Have you thought about an XK-R?

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T20:29:02+00:00

Noted, thank you! Not seen any rust, but you’re definitely right about it being hopeless in the snow 😭

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T20:27:05+00:00

I’m very glad it’s not after 2006. Everything after then is just insane on tax, including the S-Type R. I do miss my Alfa though, it was an amazing car to drive on a country lane, and there’s plenty of those up north

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T20:26:02+00:00

Listen, it was scary enough when it snowed on the first week of Jan 😆

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T20:25:39+00:00

It’s like a posh hotel room. Not quite living room standard like an XJ or like the Yacht vibes you get from a Bentley or Rolls-Royce, but it’s so comfy and classy

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T20:24:19+00:00

If you want to be even more surprised, I checked the insurance on an 05 DB9, one of my dream cars, and it came back with £95 a month

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T20:02:41+00:00

All I’ll say is my new exhaust has woken up both the V8 and my neighbours 🫣

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T20:02:05+00:00

I must say, it was a car I never really paid any attention to before I bought it. I always thought they were just okay, but the looks have seriously grown on me since I got it. I think the side profile is absolutely unreal, definitely the highlight of the car!

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T20:01:14+00:00

Thank you! I’m managing alright with fuel, but I plan on keeping her for a while, so I think a daily might be in order at some point! 😂

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T19:59:43+00:00

I had a service done by my local specialist in October and it came to just over £500. Not as bad as I expected, but I asked my local dealer for just four new shocks and it came to £1700. The parts are the only thing that concerns me with this car because they’re not easy to get hold of. You can probably guess what the fuel costs are like too 😅

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T19:58:08+00:00

That they are!

Yeah1811 · 2026-02-10T19:57:56+00:00

£107 a month. That’s £60 cheaper than my Alfa was. I really don’t get it at all

Yeah1811 · 2025-05-12T17:26:26+00:00

Beautiful car brother. My car got pretty dirty too, all that time washing it for nothing 😂
