I had a '16 Jag F-type. Great car. Fast, stylish. Traded for '21 BMW 550i. Faster, rides so much better and a real trunk.

JLR are now both manufactured in China. The company is now claiming they are making the necessary improvements.

Yes, JLR are now being manufactured in communist China. Enjoy the ride.

On the bright side, good sales up to 30% off for the brands are ongoing...

So much for communism.

G not Q. Jaguar not Jaquar. There is no pee in Lake Sumter. Carry on.

Sounded better maybe...

Just remember, there is no 'I' in TEAM, but there is a 'Me'.

Jaguar made some beautiful cars back in the day! I had a 2001, but similar story - costly to repair and hard to find a decent, qualified mechanic to work on them. Going to Jag Dealership for same would result in having to take a second job on!

Even when Land Rover and Jaguar were made in the UK, Consumer Reports gave them terrible ratings because of reliability. I consider a Land Rover a vehicle for those who want to look rich and don’t care that they are paying a huge amount for mediocrity. This year’s Land Rover rated 49 out of 100, and the Jaguar SUV rated 52. The Land Rover has a Reliability Score of 1 out of 5. (By comparison, the mediocre Jeep Grand Cherokee scores a 67 and has a Reliability score of 3 and the Jeep Compass a 39 with a Reliability score of 2.)

Back in the 50s and 60s, if you lived in Africa and drove off-road most of the time and didn’t mind a gas guzzler, a Land Rover was a sturdy vehicle, easily fixed. Think “Wild Kingdom” days, back when we were young. It hasn’t been worth buying in decades, and it is wildly expensive. Jaguars have always broken down a lot, despite their class and beauty.

agree, except anything in 60’s was easy to repair.
