Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    the 3 litre engine is a peugeot/citroen engine. so no hats off to jag for that one

    So what, engine sharing is the done thing nowadays. That engine is also used in range rovers.

    I do like the X5 but I also like range rovers, if you have the money you will go for a range rover over the X5.

    As i said You are arguing with someone who is a big fan of German cars. Last car was a BMW currently have a Golf GTI and the Audi A6 linked in one of the first posts is probably the car is go for in the op's situation. But I am also a huge fan of the Jag XF which you ate doing a massive disservice to with your comments.

    i dont agree that if you have money you will go for a range rover over an x5. that is a stupid comment..the x5 is much more a drivers car than a range rover and far better value for money. a clever intellegent person with money would without doubt pick the x5

    A BMW X5 is a lovely 4x4 and I am a fan of them but a full on top of the line range rover is a class above an X5. They are one of the most luxurious cars you can buy along with being excellent off road.

    ok take what you pay for a new r rover vogue against an x5 ok.then look what you will get for them 2 years later. the r rover will depreciate by far. the x5 will still be going strong when the r rover has become troublesome and costly

    truth pal.....check the net...:cool:

    I checked and(quoe from Wiki):

    The basic sub-structure of the XF has been carried over from the S-Type, although the body has been stretched to meet crash safety requirements, and heightened to provide additional headroom while still retaining the "saloon within a coupé" proportions. The suspension and mountings are the same as that used on the XK, while the engine line-up is basically similar to that used in the S-Type.
    Sound and vibration insulation is provided by the addition of a special underbody tray and engine mounts, a tuned exhaust system, and a double bulkhead between the engine bay and passenger compartment.


    X-type was based on Mondeo chassis, but XF not

    did you find yourself a new car yet?im interested to see what your choice is/was

    Not made a decision yet, the Cargiant A6 car posted is top of my list.

    I'm in the UK next weekend so may drop down to see it if its still there.

    Went looking locally (South Dublin) yesterday.

    Saw a lot of cars out of Budget, that new Merc CLA looks something special, I can see them being popular. PDF brochure here: http://goo.gl/cbRrj

    Thanks for all the replies guys.

    Incidentally, what are running costs like on a X5 vs an Audi A6?
