You made your choices and you're satisfied with them and their faults.

Me, when a new vehicle's price is £100K or more, I expect any faults to have been picked up and corrected by the time I receive it. So far, German engineering hasn't let me down — nor, incidentally, has Mrs P's Japanese PHEV...

There are such arrangements as loan vehicles, extended test drives, and visits to dealerships, in addition to listening to the experiences of JLR vehicle drivers.

All of those enable me to say quite categorically that, given a choice, I wouldn't have one...

So you've had enough loan usage of Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles to know you don't want one. I've never owned a Jag but have had 4 or 5 Rangies and they are great. Best vehicle there is, but they have their faults, but you know they're no good by having a few loaners and mates testimonials. OK 👍

Your post makes no sense and shows you just making stuff up. You stated, based on personal experience you wouldn't have a JLR car from the last 5 years: that says that you have had one, cause you've had personal experience therefore you can't say you wouldn't have one.

From personal experience, and hearing tales of woe from family and others, I wouldn't have any JLR product of the last five years.

JLR's customer service is abysmal and its dealer network and servicing network around London and the southeast — and in Paris and northern France — is dire.

I'm currently checking out EV and hybrid, and I've totally erased JLR from consideration...

Ours has never actually broken down, it just develops faults that need fixing. Still really nice to drive though.

Lost their way when they ditched the defender.

A traffic cop told me they're always breaking down.

I can confirm that is a fair comment. My wife drives one and it's the best worst car we've had.

On my way down to the big smoke for a show tomorrow (Jody Comer, Prima Facie), and was sat on the M1 due to a big smash J18, and who got out of his Rangie to get a butty out of the boot but non other than Sir Lindsay Hoyle. Exchanged knowing nods and I took a sneaky pic when he wasn't looking 😂.
