This car is a dream come true.
Rides as smoothly at 30 mph as at 90 mph. Great gas mileage, very comfortable, low maintenance, looks great.

Insurance coverage is over priced just because of the name. Prices for parts online is comparable to other makes and models. And pay off value is the same of course. And the Jag has more safety features than any vehicle I've had before.
I love the quality of the interior and the performance of the engine. My only dislike would be the cost of insurance for a vehicle with an nada value of $10,000

What do warning (amber} and worse (red) lamps mean on instrument pnl? Shouldn't they coincide w a descriptive on the LCD screen? Next, how would you run check the radiator fan motor to determine if its functional? We have variable 12 vdc power supply.
Just purchased used (I'm the 2nd owner) swapped in used motor (35000mi). Closing up loose ends. Determined fan fault and wish to know if motor is good so as to proceed ASAP. Thanks. Steve.

Great performance and road handling.
Bad gas mileage, 8-10 mpg. Lack of room and hard to get out of. Like the sporty look and easy handling.
