Re: XC40 or Jaguar E Pace torn between the two. Help.

I think Volvo owners have very high expectations as well! And I think with only low expectations the problems with the noisy fans and long periods in some cases to resolve is unacceptable. Quite surprised really to read of such poor quality customer service in some cases, though I know that can be ...

Of course it might be that Jag owners have very high expectations. We all need to wait and see the long term results.

Re: XC40 or Jaguar E Pace torn between the two. Help.

A short update after four months of ownership of the Jag P200 S Auto AWD and 7500k on the road. This is very short as I don’t want to bore any XC40 happy owners The most striking feature I have found is the QUIET! No road noise, no wind noise, no engine noise and no squeaks and rattles. Presently ve...

Re: XC40 or Jaguar E Pace torn between the two. Help.

It's interesting - I'm in the middle of much the same dilemma, though my shortlist doesn't include the E-Pace - I really don't care for the rather boring but porky way it looks, but that's obviously just me. Worth remembering that the E-Pace is made in Austria by Magna Steyr and so the build qualit...

I also added a number of options. The Jaguar replaces a BMW X5 Diesel as we were downsizing a little. After a few days I am glad my ...

Re: Stupid Sat Nav

First forgive my ignorance. Two days ago in the Volvo showroom I detailed a T4. The salesman suggested that to save money I did NOT need maps/guidance. That there was a map app that can be downloaded to your phone. That you plug your phone into the car and use the guidance from the phone. Sorry for ...
