Yep they had that and the 8 series in Sheffield, beautiful interiors, a real step
Up. However I had to do a double take on the x5 pcp numbers - appreciate its a brand new model etc etc

The Touareg suffers from high list and low GFV

Monthlies will be eye watering for what it is

Yeah I can imagine the pricing is mental, they had an 8 series outside as well I really liked it, a lot smaller than I expected yet it still weighs so much.

The CLAR platform covers just about every new BMW the 3er will be based on it as well...everything from a Z4 to a 760iL which by extension the RR Ghost as well....

So I think that platform has some widely differing permutations.

Son in laws group delivered 4 in one weekend - three were back before the weekend was out (well, one never left as it wouldnt work so was left by new owner..) and 4th had an issue on the Monday.

I'd personally steer clear of any early production JLR model.... Jaguar cancelled the lease on son in laws F Pace (early model) as it was so unreliable!!

Personal Lease, PCP isn't entirely different although it's structured differently both are rentals with one having an option to buy.

Both give you access to a car for a set period following the payment of a deposit and a monthly payment, with a rental you hand it back with a PCP you have two options at the end.

I've leased and PCP'd cars the experience as an end user is just the same.

I meant entirely different in terms of deals available

VW seem to support PCH more and more these days meaning the deals there can be much better than PCP

So you pick the lease then, simple.

Sadly it looks like your right.

Just been on the iPace forum, lots of software issues it seems....Tesla has/had similar issues when they introduce new stuff, but I guess the difference is one is a company founded by a software guy and the other probably have out sourced all software development. Am not sure JLR group have got the software teams needed to integrate all the bits they have put on the car.

Jaguar LR can't make Cars they've been making for years reliable (Range Rovers) so I wouldn't touch any new models especially ones containing cutting edge technology with a barge pole, you'd have to be raving mad or a masochist.

Now to decide on whether ivory interior is a silly idea with a 3 year old and baby!

The baby will be fine. The 3 year old and kicking feet, not so much!

Collection day was today, a lovely 200 mile drive from the dealers to run her in

Initial views are, it does exactly what it states on the tin, comfortable, brash and fast in a straight line.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the interior.
