Well I have now got bored of my 2019 5 series BMW and I no longer need all the room. I am thinking of moving to something smaller maybe a Lexus RC300H. Anyone on here got any experience of these?
Lexus always seem to do well in reliability and dealer reviews and I am sure they will be well built. I don't need a sports car ( I have the Morgan). This car will be for commuting and holidays. Kids have both now left home (Hooray) so space in the back is no longer important. I did consider a Porsche Cayman but not impressed with the car or its image and probably a bit too sporty for my needs. Any alternative suggestions? I have had Mercedes and BMW for the past few years so fancied a change.
How about a Jag? I had an F type for a year and really liked it apart from the seat which sadly I couldnt live with. But that was me with a damaged hip rather than the car, which certainly was a fun driving machine. Different inside and pretty outside. So how about an XE?
Personally, I'm a fan of JLR. Got my first Jag (an XJ) in 2010 and changed for a second one (F-Pace) four years ago. Never, never had a single problem with them. And technology is fantastic.
An XE is a superb choice. I would say that for an injured hip the best would be to choose a car a little higher, like the E-Pace. But despite it's a Jaguar, it's the one in the range I personally like the less, because it's not a pure aluminum monocoque. So it's heavy (it weights as much as my F-Pace!) for its size. Because of this, I would go for the F-Pace directly. The XE is 4678 mm long, and the F-Pace is 4731 mm, so just 53 mm longer, which is nothing. But hey! The F-Pace has 650 liters boot!
I would suggest an F-Pace with, at least, the 240 bhp diesel or the 250 bhp petrol. And if you can afford a bigger engine, the V6 3.0 diesel is a beast. It's the one I have. 300 bhp and 700 Nm torque. It never stops pushing... impressive engine that makes this car a true missile.
