I think this F10 is far confortable vehicle than my previous vehicles.
Can you please share your experience between your 2017 Jaguar and F10 Bmw? Regards, |
The Jaguar is quite sports-car like. Very similar in handling to the E30 and Carrera 3.2 but with 48 mpg in a modern car. My wife loves it and drives it every day. I'm a little too tall for it to be comfortable and can't get it to any area where it can go "faster" so I drive the 535d.
The BMW f10 took about 40K miles/64.5 Km to truly "break in" - suspension, steering, brakes, etc. the way I drive. Both cars drive straight as an arrow and handle very well, but the Jaguar XE in full sport mode will out-handle almost anything from a feel standpoint. I haven't tried either car on the track, but assume they won't match my 2011 335d sport package on wide high speed turns where that car would feel like all 4 tires are going in unison.
The Jaguar is a diamond among cubic zirconium Japanese, Swedish, and Korean cars. It makes BMW seem a bit too conservative, but that is a matter of taste. I like the minimalist lack of bling.
I don't know how they would compare to Italian and French cars, though. The 2.0 liter turbo-diesel is quite well engineered IMO so we'll see how it lasts... BMW diesels are powerful and hard to match especially in 3 liter inline 6 twin-scroll turbo form.
Cheers,
