    The jag is def the hottest car in its class! Just beautiful!

      T K I bought a brand new 3.0 Supercharged XE in 2016 but legally rejected it within four months because of hopeless build quality and, most of all, a totally functioning InControl Touch Pro infotainment system I went back to Mercedes (after having three before the Jaguar) with a C43 AMG Coupe which was also not good (jumping front tyres and juddering wipers - both well documented in UA-cam videos). I ended up with a brand new 2018 BMW 440i Coupe which is easily the best car I’ve had; totally reliable and the best to drive.

      Jag interior is so underwhelming dashboard nowhere near as good, questionable design. Otherwise BMW is superior in build quality, performance and handling.

      Jean, speaking of that Corsa Sport, if you like the car, as much as I do, RPMtv did a show on it earlier this quarter, so go check it out on their UA-cam channel.
      One comment on that car, i do believe its a little pricey, and i do honestly think the extra R20k is worth while if one considers it can buy a brand new Fiesta ST. Use-it, don't Use-it.

      +Henro van Rooyen
      I actually commented without having watched the video XD......This presenter is good but the normal one is epic. + I could only find a review of the Cosmo on RPMtv. I'm not looking to purchase a Corsa but it is one of the nicest new cars I have driven in a long time. I'll stick with my Lumina SS until Chevy brings out something similar or else I'll just have to defect to Ford for a Mustang.

    Unusual for me as a Jag FUNatic! Bmw took this one. But while the design DNA in bmw has been static and tired for years now, Jaguar is a lot fresher and inspired, they just need to stop playing it safe with conservativeness and ROCK it out!

    That touch screen seems to be lagging. On 4:58 he touched the next arrow it took about 1 second to go to the next page.

    • @_J.P._
      @_J.P._ 4 роки тому

      It behaves odly. 1st touch has a lag while all following touches are way more responsive. I guess it was a thing back then. Like "Yeeees Sir! I aknowledged your pressing of the screen and I shall now commence your command. Please stand by" accompanied by a fanfare and a lightshow except there is none of that. You just have to imagine it while you wait that 1st one second.
      ..or the CPU is just simply on a dynamic clock. Mostly on sleep (low clock) and once you need it it overclocks itself for better performance.

    The BMW engine didn't even make an impression with it's sound, yet the Jaguar which clearly sounded better got negative marks because it didn't sound as amazing as the F TYPE Sports car? Where is the logic.
    The Jaguar looks better aesthetically, and more importantly it's a little more upmarket than a BMW in my opinion.

      @SneakyBrownGuy 9 років тому

      +David Taylor Yeah but did you see him when he was in the front seat his legs were all the way up on the steering wheel instead of a comfortable spot which let him have more leg room in the back. If he put the driver's seat all the way up on the jag he would also have more room in the back.

      All I had to do was add a CAI and just a flow master exhaust which cost with installation 550 dollars, into my Supercharged Jag and i was at 400 hp. I bought a Jaguar 35T AWD and after the additions i beat my friends 2017 Bmw M3 in a race from 0 to 100 mph. I tested Mercedes, Bmw, Audi and Jaguar and no doubt i went with the best.

    Damn, these cars are eye-wateringly expensive! 😳 Close to R1m!!! They're pretty cars but the price is absurd, especially considering that I can buy a 320i and make it look exactly like that. Fine, the 340 will outperform the 320i but where you gonna fully enjoy the driving dynamics of that car legally? It certainly ain't a track toy. I'd rather buy a Golf R or a S3 and use the change to pay lobola 😂. Nice review though...where's that other chap who usually does these?

    • @Hubscharber

    your rear seat comparison is bullshit. I'm no fan of either car for the record but that was hardly fair or transparent.

    new ones off the truck at our dealer. bmw no longer cares about quality
    only marketing and money. i mean yes money flows the business but your
    business is customers and they work hard for these machines, show them
    some respect and give them a quality product so they can spend more time
    on the road and not in the service drive.

      340i suck... right out the damn box they need a recall gj bmw when they 1st came out i remember doing recall after recall after recall on the new ones off the truck at our dealer. bmw no longer cares about quality only marketing and money. i mean yes money flows the business but your business is customers and they work hard for these machines, show them some respect and give them a quality product so they can spend more time on the road and not in the service drive.
