Ekona Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Screen resolution my arse, it's because everyone loves tablets right now so they thought they'd try and cash in on the craze. Terrible design decision, and they'll regret that in a few years. Now, if the tablet were fully functional and removable... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Agreed, that's a really ugly design feature but in fairness it's not only Merc doing it right now. A45 I have nothing against in principle, but the exhaust is a little too shouty for my taste. Great when you're nailing it, but pootling around it lacks tone. It's not a car I'd ever consider, but I can see why people are buying them. Same as the Golf R, or any other premium sporty hatchback. My mrs' mum owns the new golf r, it sounds pretty nice from the outside. The new jags don't have ipad dashes. The new XE drove like a dream, would highly recommend one, they start at 24k for a basic one!

brillomaster Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 ah balls... in my defence its not just an auto, rather its an early flappy paddle system - most of the time I drive it in manual mode. And really, i'm only getting practice in for the future - my next car will almost certainly be a flappy paddle affair, since all the new cars I like right now only come with flappy paddles (with the exception of the Jag F-Type).

ATTAK Z Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 http://www.autotrade...fault&logcode=p I have a Jag ... not impressed Mods: can you sticky this comment please Good luck on the hunt!! Just to be clear on why I not impressed 1. Expensive chromed alloys are corroding 2. Body work at bottom of doors is corroding 3. Back window has cracked during my ownership (lack of torsional rigidity ?) 4. Local Jaguar dealership tried to sell me a £500 service when only a £200 service was required to keep the service history up to date 5. Advisory after service suggested there was a leak on the power steering which could be fixed for £400+ ... my local garage fixed the 'leak' for £30 6. I asked for the car not to be cleaned but they said they would valet the inside as a complimentary part of the service ... when I arrived to pick the car up this had not been done and they asked if I could wait an hour for this to be done ... I didn't 7. Local Jaguar dealership did not deal with any of the above issues and suggested that I travel 40+ miles to get the car fixed by a fully competent Jaguar dealership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
