    Its a specd up Ford Mondeo.

    Were you thinking petrol or diesel, and what budget?

    The lower petrol models and the 2.0 diesel were FWD which is wrong for a Jag imo.

    In the same way that an Audi is a specced up skoda, and a Saab is a vectra, and a Lexus is a specced up yaris etc etc

    Then you'd have to get the estate version!
    Diesel, FWD and estate.
    That just screams Jag.
    And while you're at it, treat yourself to a proper Aston:

    Servicing.. the engine will do 200K plus, but only if serviced properly.
