The BMW's cabin is a classic study in understated elegance and that's one of the main reasons why I've ordered the 535d M Sport. Ok, it doesn't sound as good as the petrol version, but it goes just as well and drinks a hell of a lot less fuel.

For real world driving a diesel is much more sensible. It's not as sexy, but neither is spending a kings ransom on fuel. As far as the Jag XF goes, it's a nice looking car, but I agree the inside is trying way to hard to be cool. That gets old. I want to like Jags, but I'd never buy one. It's stories like this that make me remember why...
