I have a jaguar Xe myself an although I sometimes agree with you on the gearbox, I wouldn’t really say it’s a jaguar gearbox, seeing as it’s used in all BMWs, the Alfa gulia and so on.. some of which I’ve been told have the same problem. Apart from that it’s the best car I’ve had out of Audi Mercedes and bmw in terms of driving for me although I have been looking at either an XJ or a 6 series grand coupe... two other cars you’ve funnily enough owned😂👍🏼
I don't know what Jaguar do to make it so laggy, the 3 series doesn't have the issue. Its worse in the XJ although the rest of that car is great, best car Jaguar make (made) apart from maybe the F Type. Go for the Gran Coupe, it's incredible - stunning to look at, fantastic to drive and crazy fast for a diesel. They're now ridiculously good value too.
@@limitedinsight I find it very inconsistent the gearbox sometimes it’s fine other time not so good, an I’m also thinking the gran coupe As I haven’t always been keen on bmw interiors I always find myself looking at them then drift off to something else hence why i got rid for a Mercedes but I think the 6 series has a lovely interior especially for a bmw. Thanks for your input 👍🏼
Definitely. As soon as my son is old enough to get in and out of cars himself, I'd love an M6 GC if they are cheap enough by then. Hopefully so. These big executive german cars drop like a stone.
Disappointing review for a great car. Had to laugh at you dissing the space in the back, I mean, come on, you're not the smallest guy and most compact execs don't have much more room - but few buyers will be carrying adults in the back on a regular basis. Gearbox not very good? It's perfectly fine - same as in the BMW and if I'm not mistaken, the Merc and certainly the Alfa giulia as well and it's perfectly fine - and unlike in some other cars, does have adjustable settings. I'd seen enough by then, you looked like you were bored with the job and wished you were doing something else to be honest.

What happened to the 640 gc
Had to let it go, at the time my wife got too pregnant to be able to lower herself into it. 😂 I miss it greatly.
@@motorshedsteve 🤣 fair enough great car and rapid considering it being a diesel. Would you buy one again?
