I know this is usually Pikey asking the question but I thought I'd canvass you for your opinions and thoughts - it's that age old dilemma of what car should I get !!
Having ummed and ahhed for well over a year I think I'm heading towards selling the Scooby and stepping into the company car scheme.
So, with much research and test driving I believe I've narrowed it down to two options (although I'm still clearly open to sensible suggestions). There are some small limitations on the cars I can get - it can't be a soft-top (although it can be a folding tin-top) and it must have four proper seats (so out goes any two seater Porsche or any other mid-life crisis car).
Anyway, on to the options......(drum roll........).......
Audi A5 - 2.7Tdi (S-Line spec)
Jaguar XF - 3.0 V6 Diesel
Controversial possibly but whadya think ? Most of the other cars in the same bracket I've discounted......the new 5 series is a possibility but when you've made your mind to do something you don't want to hang around and wait for new models to be released....
The XF is probably better value for money as it comes with almost everything as standard whereas if you start adding more options to the A5 you quickly get into silly money territory.
The XF is slightly quicker, but not by much, and they're pretty similar in fuel consumption.
Lastly, they're both not common (yet) although I do believe I've seen more A5s than XFs.
So, let the feedback commence !!
