Last Spring I was looking to upgrade my daily driver and was interested in the Jag. After a mild test drive the guage cluster was lit up like a x-mas tree with all kinds of malfunction errors. I also had a hard time getting used to the ride / feel of the car so I turned my attention elsewhere.
Ultimately I wound up with an '01 MB C240 and have enjoyed it thoroughly over the past 6 months. Mine actually has the tiptronic tranny so sometimes I get to have a little fun on the way to the office
Good luck with your search.
