I usually find that I enjoy my purchases much more after I've done a tremendous amount of research on something. Whether it's a vacation, new piece of tech, or an automobile, research is the key to managing a healthy expectation vs. reality ratio. Many of the complaints that I've been reading about on here were easily avoidable if people did their research. Space - this is mentioned in 90% of the reviews of the Jaguar XE and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. The back seats are some of the smallest/tightest in its class and the trunk is probably the tiniest. But it will still hold enough for a long trip or drive to the airport. Interior - again, this was mentioned in just about every review I came across. The interior is not as good as some of the Mercs I've owned in the past and there are some cheaper materials used here and there. Still, everything works and the tech is more than sufficient. Performance - this is the reason I ended up purchasing this car. I have owned two C-Class sedans and was always a little underwhelmed when driving them. Sure, they were comfortable, looked nice, and had some great features but I wanted a sportier ride. For this price point, I don't think there is a better option in the entry-level lux sport sedan class. In the end, it comes down to personal preference. If you're looking for an exhilarating ride every time you drive, this might be your vehicle. If you're not overly concerned with performance and place value in comfort and gadgets, then the C-Class is probably a better fit. Want a little of both - the BMW 3 Series is sure to deliver.

Love my new XE, was really torn what to buy after having audi for years, never really liked handling in mercedes and aesthetics of bmw. Jag has all of that, beautiful acceleration, brakes and awesome looks. The interior is basic for such a fancy car, back seat is essentially for 2 people and trunk space is limited. But floor the gas pedal and let the cat purr.

BMW and Audi Take Note

After months of research and serious consideration of the latest competitive offerings from Audi and BMW, I pulled the trigger on a V6 XE R-Sport two months ago. So far, no regrets. Jag has nailed the balance between athleticism and luxury, despite having 19" rims. The car is quiet and rides impressively well given the level of handling it offers. Styling, while subjective, is in my opinion above and beyond what the competition is offering. The Cadillac ATS has a better looking interior, but an inferior infotainment system. The Jag might have some cheapened aspects to the interior materials that are a let down, but it's still a very cool and rather unique setup. Passengers take note, and feedback has been very positive. People often comment that it "looks so luxurious," a comment that catches me off guard every time. The brakes have major bite, and the V6 is capable of acceleration that at times is borderline scary. It's as rewarding to drive in the twistiest as any vehicle I've driven. Body lean is non-existent, even when you're pushing traction limits. Quite impressive. I believe this is the best looking, and best performing vehicle in it's class. You can go buy a BMW 340i, get another 1mpg and 0.2 seconds shaved off the run to 60mph. It's a great machine, but you'll also pay about $5k more, and look like every other car on the road. The Jag isn't perfect, but it's a lot of car for the money and backed by the best warranty and best dealership service in the business.

Spectacular Chassis In Search Of Interior Designer

This car, even in base model form, drives exceptionally well. Too bad it is also reminiscent of my wife's old Lexus RX350...great chassis with an interior that made you want to get out of it as quickly as possible. The Good: Acceptable acceleration, excellent steering and braking. A little too much nose dive under severe braking, but everything else works so well it can be forgiven. This car really holds a line when attacking those beckoning freeway on-ramps. Transmission shifts are buttery smooth and almost imperceptable. The Bad: Ergonomics & Design. At 6' even, the armrest on the driver door is at least half a foot short of where I need it to be. Totally useless. The shelf on the door with the window, lock and mirror controls is at an odd angle. It causes you to fumble around the buttons, then twist your wrist weirdly to actuate the controls. Very disappointing. The seat was not particularly supportive, nor did I find the seat back comfortable. The seat back angle is such that my shoulders didn't touch at all, just the back of my head and my middle-back on down. Switchgear was also disappointing.... very flimsy. Response time on the touchscreen is outstanding...no delay. Good luck though performing simple tasks like phone pairing or seat heating.... or re-setting your trip odometer. Lastly, road noise intrusion is just too much. Freeway driving at 70mph should not be this loud.

It's been a year and the car is still great! Some things are still minor annoyances (can't change presets from steering wheel, no heated seat button-screen only) but is drives beautifully ive owned the 35t for a week and if you're looking for a high performance sport sedan, this is your car! The only complaints are limited to some of the interior functionality: Front parking sears don't work unless you push the parking button each time you're getting ready to park Steering wheel Radio controls are very limited Presets are by band (am/fm/Xm) and can't be combined Heads up display is very basic when compared to other models and doesn't even project well Auto stop start setting defaults back to active every time you start the car Phone controls limited from steering wheel That said, floor the gas and the problems are forgotten! Also the voice recognition for phone dialing is faster and more accurate than Siri.
