Are Jaguars good and reliable cars?

Why is my Jaguar so reliable?
There's a running joke in the automotive industry that if you own a Jaguar or Land Rover, you shouldn't wander too far from a dealer in case something goes wrong.
Unfortunately stereotypes are hard to shake, and in some cases are based on some level of truth.
This was evident when the British company's new CEO, Thierry Bollore, admitted this week perceived and actual quality issues are costing Jaguar Land Rover at least 100,000 sales a year from dissatisfied or unconvinced customers.
This got me thinking about my Jaguar F-Pace, which I bought new when it first came out in September 2016.
At the time, it was probably the first or second delivery of an F-Pace in Brisbane and to date it hasn't exactly become a common sight – although I see a lot more of them in Sydney.
Our car was ordered in Italian racing red with a red interior, 20-inch black wheels and the full black pack.
In fact, I actually had the former head of Jaguar design (who also designed my Aston Martin Vantage) and all-around legend, Ian Callum, spec the look of my car when I met him at the launch in Montenegro.
All the fluff aside, it's been four and half years and about 50,000km since we took delivery of our Jaguar F-Pace and, despite it feeling a little old on the inside due to lack of technologies like Apple CarPlay, nothing serious has gone wrong with the car. Ever.
I know, it's weird. I was half expecting it to have caught on fire by now and for me to become a meme. I even put my surname on it so if it's ever on a tow-truck I can get some good photos to perpetuate the myth of British unreliability.
Nonetheless, despite my absolute best efforts of driving it as hard as a supercar (that's powered by a 2.0-litre diesel), the only things that have gone wrong are the driver's door cladding glue (which needed some reapplication), a small leak in one of the radiators, and a problem with the front wheel bearings.
Both the radiator and wheel bearings were replaced.
Jaguar replaced and fixed everything under warranty, even though the wheel bearings were actually a year outside the three-year manufacturer warranty period (now five years as part of an ongoing offer), but they were replaced as the car was serviced at Jaguar and they deemed it unusual wear given the life of the vehicle.
On the inside my kids (who were around five and two when we bought the F-Pace) have done their best to destroy the back seat with spilt milkshakes and hot chocolates, not to mention bits of McDonald's happy meals and whatever else kids eat, smudged and smeared all through the leather.
After a basic detail, it always looks as good as new.
If I'm perfectly honest, the reliability and durability of the Jaguar is almost disappointing.
There's no stories about my wife being stranded halfway between Brisbane and Warwick on the side of the road at night. No dead starter motor, black smoke coming out of the back, oil covering the garage, random engine lights, absolutely nothing.
I just wanted something to go wrong, at this rate I am concerned I might have bought a Lexus.
Everything you've heard about Jaguars of old is pretty much irrelevant.
Even the electronics work like the day it was delivered. The sunroof, the windows, the keyless entry, the automatic boot opener using your feet, all of it still works. The Meridian sound system is still a delight, too.
People always ask me as a joke how I could put my wife and kids in a car that spends half its life on the side of the road, and I won't deny my response has at times been "we also have a German SUV for when I want to make sure they get home".
The reality is though, it's never left me feeling anxious about breaking down or being unreliable.
With all of that in mind, recently we came to the realisation we need a new family SUV. The thought of buying a BMW X5 or Audi Q7 is very sensible and logical. I probably should just do that, but I've always been attracted to niche cars that are not all that common.
My wife started her car buying journey looking at a Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 Coupe, which I categorically vetoed in the strongest form a man can against his wife – I said 'yes honey, let's go drive it'.
Thankfully the world's largest Mercedes-Benz dealership (literally), which just happens to be in Brisbane not only had no car for us to drive, but couldn't care all that much either.
That solved the problem of buying a Mercedes I'm not a particular fan of. I like the standard GLE, but the Coupe looks like it belongs in a Santa Monica car park.
The next choice was the Bentley Bentayga. It's an epic-looking SUV that's super spacious and has an incredibly well-appointed interior… but is too big for where we intend to park it.
Plus, spending $500,000 on an SUV seems like a waste of money – although my wife would disagree.
Then came the Genesis GV80, which I rate and would love to own… except for the steering wheel, which is really peculiar in shape and annoying to hold.
Even if i could get past that (and I probably could) the bigger issue is the fact the brand would not discount $1 from its price, making the car more expensive than a Porsche Cayenne. Insert error noise here.
I tried to convince my wife we should wait for either the updated Tesla Model X (we bought one a few years ago, paid and lost the deposit as we never took delivery because the interior fit and finish was shocking), or the next-generation Range Rover Sport coming out 'soon'.
Unfortunately, she used this very website to confirm my idea of soon and her idea of soon are about 12 months apart.
Before she had the option to run back and find someone willing to help at the local Mercedes dealership, I suggested we look at the 2021 Range Rover Velar with updated infotainment, gearstick, and a few other things.
She asked if Range Rovers are "really unreliable", pretty much cementing the perception issue of the brand.
I asked if she felt the Jaguar was unreliable, and she said she had never even thought about it given it never broke down (which is what you want to hear).
After some argy-bargy, negotiations, and promises I would stop buying other 'useless' cars we don't need, she agreed the new Velar would be a good choice before the new Range Rover Sport comes out. We can then swap into that.
So here we are, waiting for the Velar to show up. We're hoping to take delivery in the coming months.
So after nearly five years of owning a Jaguar F-Pace and owning a now-previous-generation Land Rover Discovery Sport (that one was definitely a Friday car), I'm either stupid for going back and tempting fate, or Jaguar Land Rover can finally make reliable cars and the brand is just waiting for the perception issue to ease.
Either way, the stereotype around reliability of British and European cars in general is simply no longer (as) valid. Now I'm not saying a Jaguar is as reliable as a Toyota, what I am saying though is that reliability this day and age shouldn't be about the number of faults but the overall ownership experience.
With five-year warranty periods and strong Australian Consumer Laws, don't let old ideas and stereotypes stop you from buying the car you actually love.
Or, you know, just go buy a Lexus… but bring your pacemaker with you.

How reliable is Jaguar? A balanced look at the luxury British manufacturer
Jaguar is synonymous with British luxury and style. Jaguar is the luxury vehicle brand of Jaguar Land Rover, and have been a symbol of British engineering for some years now and one dealership supplied cars to the Queen, the Queen Mother and Prince Charles. In fact, they even modified one of the Queen's Jaguars to make it more environmentally friendly.
But despite this, Jaguar has been plagued with the issue of dependability for some time now. Although they are known for their build quality and style, Jaguar has always been considered quite unreliable cars.
Is this still the case? How reliable are Jaguar?
In this article, we look at how reliable Jaguar is and how this compares to their rivals.
How reliable are Jaguar?
As we said, there was once a time when Jaguar was considered unreliable. And, this wasn't actually too long ago. In fact, in 2014, the UK was placed at the bottom of the reliability table in a WarrantyDirect survey partly due to the low-reliability score of Jaguar. This survey was compiled to show the best nations for reliability, and the UK came last out of eight nations.
Jaguar also placed 29th in comparison to the automotive industry in terms of reliability, click here to discover where their competitors placed.This also appeared to be the case in the 2017 survey by WarrantyDirect, which found that British cars were some of the worst on the roads in terms of dependability. This again, was partly due to Jaguar's unreliability. That said, they also factored in Land Rover and Vauxhall in this survey, so it wasn't all to do with Jaguar. And we all know how unreliable Land Rover are, so there's a good chance that they brought down the overall reliability considerably. However, the Telegraph put Jaguar 16th in their table for car reliability. This was up from 23rd last year. Jaguar have reduced their problems to 123 problems per 100 vehicles, this is down from 173 the previous year, which is quite an achievement.
Reliability Index put Jaguar 29th out of 39 on their reliability table. They also gave Jaguar a reliability index of 171. This isn't a great score (the lower the score the better), and is quite a bit below the industry average. That said, they still rank their reliability as average and compared to some of their competitors, their score is sky high. To give you a quick comparison, Bentley scored 529 on the ReliabilityIndex.
If we look at individual scores, then the results are mixed. The Jaguar S-Type is given a poor reliability index and a score of 226. It is also expensive to fix, with the average cost of repair at £516.88. The Jaguar XF scores better, with a reliability index of 136. This isn't great but it's not terrible. It also costs much less to repair at £376.72 on average.
The Jaguar XK does even better, with a reliability index of 116. This is just a bit better than the industry average. It does cost more to repair though, with an average repair cost of £434.10. So the results are mixed. Jaguar were once unreliable, scoring low in reliability tables and with a high number of problems per 100 vehicles. However, they appear to be making a comeback, and there could be a few reasons for this, which we will talk about now.

Low monthly payments.
Delivery to anywhere in the UK.
Why are the results so mixed?
So why are the results so mixed? The Telegraph put them as considerably more dependable than they were last year, with a jump of almost ten places in their table and a decrease in problems per vehicle by 50 but WarrantyDirect still claim they bring down the UK in their reliability table.
There could be a few reasons for this.
The WarrantyDirect survey studied cars that were over 4 years old and was measuring long term reliability. There is nothing wrong with this and usually a brands reliability doesn't change that much in a few years. But, you may remember that Jaguar have recently been taken over by Tata Motors and underwent new management.
And, in 2015, this new management swore that the days of dubious dependability were over. All vehicles in the 2016 lineup were to come with a five-year, 60,000-mile warranty and free scheduled maintenance for that period. This would have increased consumer confidence, brought down maintenance costs and in turn, increased their reliability rating. This may explain why they shot up in the Telegraph reliability table.
Another reason Jaguar have increased their reliability is due to increased reliability of their technology. In recent years, luxury cars have seen decreased reliability because of the advanced technology put in their cars. This technology can go wrong and can be expensive to repair and replace. However, with all technology, the more popular it becomes the easier it is to repair and tweak and ensure that all problems are ironed out. So, any problems Jaguar may have had in the past have been resolved.
So those are some of the reasons Jaguar might have become more dependable in the past year. Whether this will extend into the long term remains to be seen, but for now it looks like the days of Jaguar being unreliable are over.
What are the common Jaguar problems?
When you are looking at buying a car, it's good to know what problems you could encounter further down the line. Here are some of the problems you may have to deal with if you own a Jaguar;
Suspension problems
The suspension on Jaguar's is prone to wear and tear, so this is something you should look out for if you are buying a second hand Jaguar.
Windscreen wiper failure
Jaguar cars are also known for going through windscreen wipers quicker than others, so you will probably have to replace them more often than you would on another car.
Some have reported that there have been incidents of leaking in the boot and the front footwell. This has often been caused by faulty outer-door seals.
Those are some of the things that you may want to be aware of when you are looking at a second hand Jaguar. This is also worth knowing if you are buying a new model, so you can know what sort of problems you may encounter later down the line.
How reliable are surveys?
When determining the reliability of a brand, surveys are pretty good. Surveys by the likes of WarrantyDirect are useful because they can pull their data from a huge amount of information and therefore get an accurate view of how reliable a brand is. Surveys also use information from owners, who are the ones who are most likely to know how reliable a car is. After all, they drive it everyday so know exactly how reliable it is or isn't.
That said, in this context, surveys should be taken with a pinch of salt. Or at least older ones should, anyway. It's very rare that a brand makes such a leap in terms of reliability as it appears Jaguar have. Therefore, the most recent surveys, that look over the past year rather than longer, are probably the most accurate because of the amount of changes Jaguar have made and the impact this has had on their reliability. However, if you are looking at a used Jaguar, then the long term reliability surveys are the best place to look because they will be most accurate in terms of used car longevity.
In general, consumer surveys are a good place to look when determining reliability. In this case, it is better to look at the most recent surveys rather than ones that are a few years old. This is simply due to the drastic change in reliability we have seen in Jaguar. The chances are, there aren't many brands that have had such a dramatic change in such a short space of time.
Jaguar vs. Porsche vs. Bentley; Which is more reliable?
So how does Jaguar measure up to its competitors?
We said that Jaguar have had a drastic change in reliability, but they aren't the only ones. Porsche are very much the comeback kid when it comes to dependability as well. Porsche have consistently been at the bottom of the reliability tables and charts for years and were known for their unreliability. However, it was this year (2017), that they were named the most reliable car brand by J.D Power in their annual Vehicle Dependability Survey.That said, Reliability Index hasn't been kind to them, reporting that almost all of their models poor for reliability and as very expensive to repair. Porsche overall has a very high-reliability index, even higher than Jaguar at 308. However, if Porsche really has made their models more reliable then we should see this change over the coming years.
Bentley, on the other hand, are still as unreliable as ever, it seems. They are the second from the bottom of the Reliability Index with a reliability index of 529. They have also come last in several dependability tables and are widely known as being unreliable cars. When they are off the road, they are off the road for a long period of time and parts are expensive to source and replace. This can bring the dependability down.
If you're trying to decide between the three and reliability is your priority, then Jaguar does come out on top. Porsche isn't far behind though, so you wouldn't be too worse off looking at Porsche. However, if you value longevity then you might want to look elsewhere than Bentley, as they are still an unreliable brand.
In conclusion, Jaguar are actually pretty dependable at the minute. They were once very unreliable, coming in at the bottom of the reliability tables. But recently that has begun to change and have been creeping their way up to the top of reliability charts. This could be for a number of reasons, but the main reason is most likely the fact that the new management made it their aim to produce more dependable vehicles and instil more consumer confidence in their products. To do this they have offered longer warranties with scheduled maintenance included, and it seems like this is paying off. If you are looking for a new car that is as luxurious as it is reliable, then you might want to look at a Jaguar.

Jaguar is a bastion of Britishness, even though it and its sister brand Land Rover are now owned by India-based Tata Motors. A fresh charge spearheaded by new SUVs and electric cars, plus the popular XE and XF saloons and the stunning F-Type sports car, means the brand is enjoying a resurgence.
But Jaguar still has some way to go to shake off its reputation for iffy build quality and truly challenge other luxury brands, such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
One way it hopes to do that is by being one of the first marques to electrify its cars. Jaguar and sister brand Land Rover have committed to manufacturing only hybrid or full-electric vehicles by 2020. This follows a similar move by Swedish carmaker Volvo.

How much do Jaguar cars cost?
Jaguar is a premium brand, and its cars are competitively priced against rivals from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Jaguar has a smaller range, though.
Its cheapest model starts from around £29,000 for the Jaguar E-Pace small SUV, similar to challengers the Audi Q3 and BMW X1.
Its saloons don't cost that much more, with the Jaguar XE priced from roughly £32,000. Its most expensive models are the Jaguar F-Type sports car (£48,000) and the Tesla-rivalling Jaguar I-Pace luxury all-electric SUV (£62,000), which is considerably cheaper than its main competitor, the Tesla Model X (£83,000).
Choosing the best Jaguar car
All new Jaguar cars being launched from 2020 are expected to be either hybrids or fully electric cars, following its pledge in 2017. However, conventional-fuel cars are still available on models that originally launched in previous years. Jaguar's car range is focused on tradtional saloons as well as SUVs, capitalising on their recent rise in popularity.
If you're looking for a compact SUV, the Jaguar E-Pace is the brand's smallest car. For those who want more space, there's the medium-sized Jaguar F-Pace 4x4. Its full-sized, luxury SUV, the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace (pictured above), obviously has Tesla in its sights.
Jaguar's historical home is in saloon cars, and these remain a popular choice with buyers. The Jaguar XE compact executive saloon rivals the excellent BMW 3 Series, whereas the Jaguar XF luxury saloon completes with the upmarket mid-sized BMW 5 Series.
For those looking for the traditional, quintessential Jaguar saloon, you'll want to buy used, as the brand moves towards SUVs and an electrified future. The famous large luxury Jaguar XJ, defining the marque's magic right back to 1968, has gone off sale.
If you really want to see what a modern Jaguar's made of, there's no better place than the Porsche-rivalling Jaguar F-Type. This is the marque's current sports car, and its first since the acclaimed iconic E-Type, more than 50 years ago.

Reliable are jaguars
Are Jaguars Good Cars? (And Are They Worth The Money?)
Jaguar builds some of the most elegant vehicles in the world, and is a household name when it comes to stylish cars.
It would be hard not to consider a Jaguar if you were in the market for a luxury car, but sales have never been as strong as some of its German competitors.
So, are Jaguars good cars?
Jaguars are some of the most exceptional high-quality cars around. Their reputation for reliability is improving, their looks are magnificent, and their performance is sublime. Jaguar has a long history of producing great cars, and is continuing to innovate as we move into the electric vehicle era.
But given that Jaguar produces some of the finest cars available, how much do they cost to run, and how much has their reliability improved in recent years?
Jaguar's heritage
Jaguar has been producing refined, stylish cars for over 85 years. It was 1935 when the brand first came into the public's consciousness with the SS Jaguar 2.5l Saloon.
The first Jaguar was produced by the Swallow Sidecar Company (SS), but it didn't take long to shift that name shortly after the Second World War (for obvious reasons), and the Jaguar brand was born.
Throughout the following decades, Jaguar made a name for itself on the track, winning at Le Mans in the 1950s, and developing innovative aerodynamic designs for its racers. It wouldn't take long before success on the track would translate to prosperity on the road.
Perhaps the most famous Jaguar of all time is the E-Type, once referred to by Enzo Ferrari as "the most beautiful car ever made". High praise from a man who knew a thing or two about designing stunning cars.
But it wasn't only two-seater sports cars that Jaguar was producing. The Mark I and Mark II performance saloons had sold well, and in the late 60s the first generation XJ model was born, part of a lineage that existed until 2019.
In the 1970s the Jaguar XJS was seen as a spiritual successor to the E-Type, which was in production for an amazing 21 years. Over 100,000 cars later and the XK 100 Series was born to take over the mantle, with the XK8 coming into production in 1996.
Having gone through several changes of ownership over the years, today the Jaguar brand is owned by Indian company Tata Motors, having been sold by Ford in 2008.
The current lineup contains a mix of elite sports cars, sedans, SUVs, and electric vehicles. The company has announced plans to go fully electric by 2025.
Are Jaguars good looking cars?
Whilst beauty is subjective, most car enthusiasts agree that Jaguar have produced some of the most beautiful road cars ever seen on the roads.
It's widely agreed that the E-Type is the most beautiful Jaguar ever produced. Its sweeping roofline, stunning lines, and classic design make it one of the most iconic cars the world has ever seen.
Whilst no other Jaguar can live up to the E-Type's 1960s elegance, there have certainly been some great looking cars in the years since.
The Mark II Jag, which was in production at around the same time as the E-Type, is the epitome of old-school style, and the more modern XK series is now coming of age.
In recent years the once criticized XJS has also found its feet in the classic car world, as collectors start to realize its charm.
Perhaps the most beautiful modern Jaguar is the F-Type; the company's up-to-date interpretation of the 60s E-Type classic.
The high-performance, two-seater sports coupe looks fantastic, but unfortunately modern cars can't escape the design-limiting safety provisions now required by law. In most people's opinion, classic cars will always look better for this reason.
Of the brand's other modern vehicles, the SUV range looks great when compared to the competition, and the electric has an appealing, futuristic design which has proven popular so far.
Overall, Jaguar is standing by its heritage and continuing to produce some great looking cars well into the 21st century.
Are Jaguars luxury cars?
Jaguars are considered luxury cars. They have the best tech, are crafted with the finest materials, and can transport passengers in extreme comfort.
Jaguar has long considered itself a luxury brand, and produces cars for the higher end of the market. It aims to position itself above the likes of BMW, Audi, and Mercedes in terms of style, comfort, and price.
A Jaguar is a nice place to be regardless of road conditions, speed, and the number of passengers on board.
There's generally plenty of legroom, the seats are plush, and at high speed it's very quiet. Smooth acceleration and adaptive suspension on the more modern cars make long distance cruising a pleasure rather than a chore.
As well as the legroom, there is usually plenty of luggage space in a Jaguar as well, making it highly practical. How much luggage space you get will of course depend on the model you buy.
Along with the comfort and practicality of a Jaguar making it great for long distance journeys, modern Jags tend to get excellent fuel efficiency. Even those cars with larger engines will do well over 30mpg, whilst some diesel models can hit 60+ mpg.
Thanks to the state-of-the-art onboard tech, everything you need whilst on the road is at the touch of a button. The entertainment system, all the driver comforts, and top-notch safety equipment make driving a breeze, and you can rest assured you're as safe as can be behind the wheel.
But it's not only when you're on the road that you start to build an affinity with Jaguar. The company aims to make the dealership experience all part of the allure of owning one of the world's highest quality marques.
All of this is in reference to modern Jags, but Jaguar has always been on top of its game when it comes to style and comfort. So even if you're buying a used car, you'll find that all of these elements remain. Minus the fuel efficiency and onboard tech with the older vehicles, of course!
Are Jaguars fast cars?
Jaguars are fast cars, but are also refined. Over the years the company has developed a number of powerful engines for its road cars, proving that speed and luxury can go hand in hand.
Jaguar has made supercars in the past. Back in the early 1990s, the one-of-a-kind XJ220 was released. At the time it was the fastest car in the world, reaching 60mph in 3.8 seconds and hitting a top speed of 213mph. Just a shade off the 220mph its name suggested, unfortunately!
To this day the XJ220 remains the fastest Jaguar ever made in terms of top speed, but in terms of raw power and acceleration its crown has been stolen by the XE SV Project 8.
When it was launched in 2019, this car became the most powerful road-going Jaguar ever to roll off the production line, and only 300 were ever made.
The supercars will always steal the headlines, but the truth is the majority of Jaguars that have been produced over the years have great performance figures.
Whilst smaller engines and diesel alternatives are available for those who want to maximise efficiency, you only have to look at the larger engines that are available in its best performing models to understand that speed is a key consideration.
The most powerful modern Jaguar you can buy is the F-Type R. It has a 5l supercharged V8 producing 575 horsepower and will do 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
Not all F-Types are that powerful, however, and 2l and 3l variants have also been offered over the years.
If you're looking at buying a used Jaguar, there have been some impressively fast cars over the last few decades. The XKR (both X100 and X150 generations) was Jaguar's flagship sports car between 1996 and 2014.
If you're on a budget and looking for a fast Jag, the XKR would be our choice.
If an SUV is your thing, you can buy an F-Pace fitted with Jaguar's 5l supercharged V8, which produces 550 horsepower and reaches 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. Quite staggering for a car of its size.
With Jaguar committed to going fully electric, it's a good job the i-Pace has already set a precedent. The company's foray into the EV market sees a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds, but a top speed of just 124 mph.
Are Jaguar cars reliable?
Historically Jaguars had a terrible reputation for reliability but in recent years their reliability has improved. The build quality of modern Jaguars is improving every year, and many now consider them to be as dependable as their German rivals.
Jaguars have been considered unreliable ever since British Leyland were in charge in the 1970s. This was due to inadequate build quality, poor design, and insufficient funding during those years.
Under Ford's ownership in the 1990s and 2000s there was serious investment into modernizing Jaguar's manufacturing process, and it didn't take long before reliability started improving. Since Tata Motors took over in 2008 that positive trend has continued.
Jaguar has always been at the forefront of technology which hindered the company somewhat in the 90s due to the sophistication of its cars, and the cost of fixing them when they went wrong.
Electrical and infotainment system issues are some of the most common problems complained about by Jaguar owners. Fortunately many of these issues are relatively minor and easy to fix.
Jaguar's modern engines have proven to be very reliable when looked after and they can last at least 200,000 miles if regular maintenance routines are followed.
Any Jaguar that has been produced under Ford or Tata's watchful eyes will be more reliable than those from previous eras. But as with any luxury car, you should expect to be doing regular routine maintenance throughout your ownership.
One of the most reliable used Jaguars is the XJ6 (X300) that was produced between 1994 and 1997. The straight-six engine is extremely durable, and the transmission is solid.
Nowadays Jaguar is now backing itself on reliability by offering a competition-beating warranty with every new car sold. The five year (or 60,000 mile) warranty gives new owners peace of mind that things will be taken care of if anything does go wrong during that time period.
Are Jaguars expensive cars?
New Jaguars are usually more expensive to buy than their rivals, but used Jaguars can often be relatively cheap. Jaguars can also be expensive to run as the cost of parts and maintenance is high.
Three of Jaguar's main rivals are BMW, Audi, and Mercedes. The majority of models in Jaguar's range has an equivalent car built by these three manufacturers.
We've compared five Jaguars against their competitors from these German manufacturers in the table below to find out which is the most expensive, and which is the cheapest.
When compared to their rivals, the Jaguar model comes out as the most expensive in four out of the five of the cars we studied in the USA, but only one (the F-Type) in the UK.
In both countries the XF is the cheapest in comparison to its rivals by far, and in the UK the F-Pace is the cheapest in the large SUV range.
Of course, this test only looks at the 'on the road' price of the base models and there are many different factors that go into pricing a car, and options for the buyer to choose from.
But at a basic level, the perception that Jaguars are expensive seems to be true in the USA, but not so much in the UK.
Unfortunately new Jaguars don't hold their value well, and tend to depreciate more than their rivals during the first few years of ownership. This could be due to their perceived poor reliability, or the expected high cost of maintenance.
Many potential buyers of used Jaguars are scared off by the thought of costly repairs and servicing, which can make them an extremely cheap second-hand purchase.
As demand is lower for these reasons, certain used Jags are often difficult to sell. However, it's a different story for the sportiest and rarest models, and there will always be demand for these.
Many of them end up becoming classics, and as demand starts rising again, so do prices. If values are rising, buyers are more willing to pay the additional maintenance costs associated with owning a Jaguar.
But are people's concerns justified? Are Jaguars expensive to maintain?
Jaguars are expensive to maintain due to the high cost of parts, servicing, and pricey repairs when complex electrical systems go wrong.
Whilst the German rivals can also be costly to run, historically Jaguars have tended to be slightly more expensive when it comes to parts and labor.
Anecdotally it's understood that it costs at least $1400 / £1000 per year on average for servicing and maintenance on a Jaguar, although this will vary depending on the model, age, service history, and how many miles it's covered.
These days, Jaguar hopes that with its focus on improving reliability, the cost of running one will fall in line with the competition. Although these premium European brands will always be more expensive to maintain than an equivalent Japanese car, for example.
If you own an older Jaguar that's not under warranty it's definitely worth finding an independent specialist who understands these cars. Independents will charge a fraction of what main dealerships will charge.
Jaguar themselves also offer fixed-price servicing for cars with expired warranties, so it's a good idea to get an understanding of the costs involved with both of these options and compare.
Insurance is another cost to think about when assessing which car to buy. Insuring a Jaguar can be expensive as they are luxury vehicles and tend to have powerful engines. It will be especially expensive for young drivers under the age of 28.
Overall, owning a Jaguar is expensive but many consider the driving experience and thrill of owning such an exclusive model of car to be worth the cost.
There are things you can do to reduce the amount you need to spend, such as finding the right garage or signing up to a cost-effective servicing plan. But long-term, when owning a Jaguar you'll be spending more than you would on a regular vehicle.
Is it worth buying a Jaguar?
A Jaguar is worth buying if you like to drive a car that's classy, elegant, fast, and has a great heritage. What you spend on maintenance you'll get back in satisfaction, pleasure, and indulgence once you're behind the wheel.
Jaguars aren't for everyone, and you need to know what you're getting into before making the purchase, but the majority of owners end up with a smile on their face once they experience the luxury and finesse that these cars ooze.
Modern Jaguars are a great option and should be a genuine consideration alongside their rivals.
A lot of work has gone into making them more reliable and bringing the cost of ownership down, and the current range of cars offers something a little different to what other European brands traditionally offer.
Jaguar has started on its journey to full electrification and the i-Pace is an excellent option for those looking to make the switch from internal combustion.
The second-hand market for Jaguars is also great, and there are some bargains to be found. Buying a used Jaguar is absolutely worth it if you ensure you get one that's been looked after throughout its life, and you're aware of the maintenance you'll need to do to keep it in top condition.
There are plenty of classic Jaguars out there which command a premium, and cars such as the XJS and the XK from the 80s and 90s are heading that way too.
If you're going to buy a Jaguar, pick the right model for you, understand the servicing and maintenance requirements, and most of all, enjoy driving one of the most prestigious makes of vehicle the world has ever seen.

It is a brand-new year and an ideal time to start upgrading your home's interior but what if – shock horror – your decorating endeavours are not on trend?
Have you watched Marie Kondo's incredible Netflix series, Tidying Up? If not, you should! It is all about reducing clutter in your home so that you can truly appreciate the possessions in your life that bring you the most joy.
This lifestyle change is set to take the world by storm. Marie Kondo is very specific about how to store objects – clothing items should be stacked horizontally, whilst kimono – miscellaneous items such as kitchenware and electronics – should be neatly tucked away in well-organised cupboards, shelving and boxes. That means great storage is a must!
We predict a rise in deep in-built wardrobes, spacious kitchen cabinets and sectioned storage that will leave your possessions feeling pleased as punch.
A lot of us are simply fed up of the minimalist trends. Zero-decorations and empty-feeling rooms are SO last year, but that does not mean that we have to go overboard with overpowering colours.
Keeping your colour palette delicate and gentle will bring a sense of serenity and calm to your household. We particularly recommend this softer look in the bedroom and bathroom areas, which are of course the spaces used most often to relax and unwind.
For an added touch of tranquillity, introduce diffused lighting to make for an even more peaceful effect.
We are fondly welcoming florals back from banishment after their overuse in the early 2010s. 2019 will see a rise in nature-inspired décor and topping the list is the familiar floral print.
Expect to see florals of all descriptions making their way onto just about everything this year – wallpapers, soft furnishings, fabrics - as we look for more ways to bring the beauty and happiness of the natural world into our lives.
A word of warning – try not to overdo it! Too much floral and your home may feel more like a jungle.
The textured trend is not going anywhere in 2019. Consider bringing in a variety of textures like wools, jutes, brushed cottons and linens in order to create aesthetic depth and layers rather than a monotonous space.
To achieve this look, introduce a range of different fabric and furnishing styles – opt for a mixture of coarse and soft materials to strike a fine balance.
2018 was a year full of uncertainty, and that is one thing that we can expected to remain consistent in 2019. With the news agenda making us all a little weary, we can expect there to be a greater focus on warm, welcoming and comforting environments.
This will be particularly true of communal areas, such as family or living rooms and open-plan kitchens. For modern houses, look out for a greater focus on room sectioning in order to give each part of the home its own comfortable function – a kitchen island with seating for a sociable feel, plenty of soft carpeting and seating in the living room for relaxation – it is all about making your home somewhere that gives you a hug as soon as you walk through the door.
As always, our best recommendation is simply to go with whatever you like best – it is you who will live with it after all, not anyone else! These are just some ideas to inspire you – adapt as you see fit!
Want a home that is all you from the get-go? Take a look at Campion Homes' brand-new developments that will provide you with a blank slate to create your dream home.

Will & Grace: Ending After 11 Seasons at NBC!
NBC is bringing Will & Grace to a close.
The popular comedy series, which returned to the air in 2017 after a 12-year hiatus, will wrap with its upcoming 11th season on the network, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
18 new episodes have been ordered for the final season, and it is slated to premiere at some point in early 2020.
"When NBC had the opportunity to reconnect this amazing cast and creative team, we jumped at the chance," said NBC Entertainment co-chairmen George Cheeks and Paul Telegdy.
Related: Blindspot: Ending at NBC
"The impact and legacy of Will and Grace simply can't be overstated, both as a true game-changer in the portrayal of the LGBTQ community and as one of the finest comedies in television history."
"A huge thank you to [creators] Max [Mutchnick], David [Kohan], Jimmy [Burrows] and a cast that is second to none for their brilliance over an incredible run."
Despite a solid launch for the first revival season, it shed almost 50 percent in the demo year-to-year, with the novelty of the show being back on the air seemingly wearing off.
The drop was an alarming one, with the tenth season ultimately averaging 3 million total viewers and 0.7 rating in the demo.
The show remained a solid option on the DVR front, but given the expensive talent, there were questions about how long the series could continue.
"We think of the Will and Grace reboot episodes the way Karen Walker thinks of martinis – 51 is not enough, 53 is too many. That is why, after consulting with the cast, we all have decided this will be the final season of Will and Grace," creators Mutchnick, Kohan and exec producer/director Burrows said.
Related: The Good Place: Ending at NBC
"In 2016, Bob Greenblatt came to us with the idea of doing a 10-episode reboot of Will and Grace. They say you can't go home again, but we did."
"And now, three seasons and 52 episodes later, we're even more proud of something we never thought we'd get a chance to do again."
"We have had a once-in-a-lifetime experience twice. And for that, we owe a double debt of gratitude to NBC, this show's supportive and caring home since day one."
The revival was initially meant to be a limited series, but NBC was high on the show and opted to extend it for longer than initially planned.
In this reboot/revival-heavy TV landscape, a three-season comeback is a success story. Heck, any show making it to three seasons these days is a success.
Will & Grace joins Blindspot, and The Good Place as the NBC shows slated to conclude during the 2019-20 TV season.

Spurs Sneak Around Magic
By CBSNews.com staff CBSNews.com staff
March 11, 1999 / 12:31 AM / CBS/AP
It wasn't pretty, but it was a win.
"This is the type of win we needed against a team that's been playing well and with a lot of confidence," San Antonio center David Robinson said. "We had good looks in the fourth quarter, but were hesitant. Our defense did it for us tonight."
In a game that neither team seemed to want, Robinson's two free throws in the final 18.5 seconds Wednesday night his only points of the second half gave the Spurs an 81-79 victory over the Orlando Magic.
Neither team scored in the final 4:47 after Tim Duncan's three-point play tied the game at 79 until Robinson's two free throws.

"In the second half we started getting the ball to the right places at the right time," Orlando coach Chuck Daly said. "But sometimes you have to get a break at the end and we didn't tonight."
Robinson led the Spurs with 19 points as San Antonio (11-8) won its fifth straight game.
Penny Hardaway led the Magic with 22 points as Orlando (14-6) lost consecutive games for the first time this season and dropped behind Miami (14-5) in the Atlantic Division race.
Trailing 79-78, Orlando had a chance to take the lead. But Nick Anderson missed a 19-foot jumper and Robinson was fouled going for the rebound. The San Antonio center hit one of two free throws with 6.9 seconds left.
The Magic had one last try, but Anderson's hurried 30-footer was off the mark.
Orlando missed its last seven shots and did not score after Isaac Austin's jumper gave the Magic a 79-76 lead with 5:24 left. Orlando also had two turnovers and an offensive foul during its scoreless stretch.
San Antonio missed its last four shots and had two turnovers before Robinson came through at the end.
"Both teams made a lot of stops (at the end). That's what good teams do," San Antonio coach Gregg Popvich said.
San Antonio built a 49-38 halftime lead, but saw it almost disappear before they scored in the second half as the Magic began the third quarter with a 9-0 run.
Orlando outscored the Spurs 28-19 in the period to take its first lead since the opening minute, only to have San Antonio score the last four points of the period, including a last-second breakaway slam by Will Perdue, to lead 68-66 going into the final quarter.
Notes: Orlando forward Charles "Bo" Outlaw sat out his second straight game with a left calf contusion. That was a disappointment for many in the crowd since Outlaw was returning to his hometown for the only time this season. He was honored earlier in the day at his alma mater, San Antonio John Jay High School, which will play in the state basketball tournament this weekend. Outlaw is listed as day-to-day ... San Antonio guard Mario Elie returned after missing the last three games with a left hamstring pull ... San Antonio has been outscored only once in the first quarter in its first 19 games.

Nithya Priyan was introduced to meditation via YouTube 9 years ago, today he is the founder of Nithya Priyan School of Yoga. In his desire to seek the connection between meditation and yoga, he discovered yoga to elevate his meditation experience and wanted to share the benefits of marrying the two with others. In an exclusive chat with JOZU, Priyan shares what he has learned along his path from student to teacher and tells us more about the Open Heart Retreat, a unique experiential all-inclusive weekend he is leading in Singapore next month.
What do yoga and meditation mean to you?
In 2008, I was introduced to the concept of meditation through a Guru speaking on YouTube. It led me to an eye-opening adventure traveling in India, exploring ashrams and seeking teachers. I traveled for half a year and experienced to beauty and rawness of India, taking in as much as I could. I finally discovered the practice of Vipassana meditation in a retreat in Igatpuri.
Meditation and yoga are like a fork and spoon, or salt and pepper, you deepen your practice by taking up the missing counterpart. Regular asana practice creates a comfortable body-space to sit still in for longer periods of time whilst also improving concentration and the ability to turn inward. Likewise, meditation helps the asana practice by deepening proprioception and body awareness, increasing strength, flexibility, and balance, thereby improving your learning rate of more intermediate poses.
What inspired you to set up the Nithya Priyan School of Yoga?
As a yoga teacher, my classes have gravitated towards creating the best possible experience for the student to benefit from the fruits of the practice in a safe and non-threatening way. This drew my attention on structuring my classes in peak pose based sequences that focus on individual aspects of the practice in each class to maximise learning. Naturally, then the next step would be to group and organize these individual classes into a coherent whole, which became a 27-week curriculum of classes that, though self-contained practices in their own right, string together to form a comprehensive learning experience of all the major physical aspects of Yoga Asana.
I then saw the potential of a team of teachers working together to not only express this curriculum in a school-wide syllabus but to also have them take the curriculum forward with their own inputs and contributions so that it continues to improve and refine.
Thus, the school was formed around the idea of student empowerment through structured learning.
Joy in the Body and Peace in the Heart.
If you could spend an hour with any one person, who would it be and why?
I would like to meet Myself. This might seem like a gimmick answer, but consider that many of us live our lives absorbed so much in our wants and needs, in our dramas and our obsessions that we do not spare a thought about who is the one wanting or needing, who is participating in the dramas and who is doing the obsessing. Or we might think we know that answer but upon deeper examination, who we think of ourselves might amount to nothing more than the accumulation of a personal history of successes and failures, euphoric or sullen memories, loss, and gain.
The search for the Self is a turning inward from the colorful painting of sensory and intellectual content towards the canvas behind the painting itself, to understand that who one truly is is something truly beyond what we know.
It is the goal of all meditative and spiritual pursuits. If you could spend but an instant with your Self, the experience would transform you, your attitudes and compulsions would soften, life would become a lot less serious and threatening, and you would find a joy that is not dependant on external circumstances.
Wouldn't the Self be a great person to meet for an hour?
Tell us more about the upcoming Open Heart Retreat.
This weekend is specially curated by Om and Away and The Nithya Priyan School of Yoga to allow attendees to simply take time to themselves and explore a quiet and introspective practice of yoga, pranayama, and meditation.
Through the gentle, non-religious and mindfulness based technique of Heart Breathing, I hope to deepen your ability to focus and concentrate, eliminating mental noise and clutter, and guide you towards a deeper sense of One-ness and Connection through working towards removing the obstacles that stop you from experiencing Joy in the Body and Peace in the Heart.
The unique and beautiful part of the experience is that we will set up luxurious bell tents on the beach as accommodation for the night to allow one to be connected to nature and its surroundings. The climax of this retreat will be a beautifully candlelit evening under the stars in a special Group Meditation, having spent the day preparing Body, Heart, and Mind.
Who do you hope to see on a yoga mat at the Open Heart event?
I would love to see the familiar faces of my regular students who attend my yoga classes take their practice a step further into meditative practice and attend this retreat.
One hour is a short time to explore the length and breadth and scope of the practice. Some people find themselves jaded or bored by yoga after a year or two, not knowing they have only scratched the surface. This retreat would be the perfect platform to explore beyond asana and perhaps rekindle your passion and enthusiasm for Yoga.
Of course, I would also love to meet new faces of any experience level of yoga or meditation. Beginner and experienced alike will benefit from the intense period of focused work afforded by this retreat.
What do you hope for this person to achieve by the end of the weekend?
I would hope for the participants to have deepened their concentration span, quietened their minds and prepared their bodies so that, moving forward, their chances of a successful and consistent meditation practice is improved.
What would you say to those considering attending the event and are unsure of what to expect?
Come without expectations. Attend with enthusiasm. Leave with joy.
What drew you to collaborating with Om & Away?
Om and Away sets itself apart from the competition as a company that curates and handpicks the retreat experiences they share with quality and attention to detail. They are collaborative in their approach, and the partnerships they form are with exciting companies with compelling concepts. This results in a very interesting portfolio to which I am very excited to be a contributor to.

Are guided meditations worth trying? I've tried some of these to help me sleep, and in many ways, they are the complete opposite of meditation. In guided meditations, you are literally being guided — the nice, friendly, relaxing voice is telling you what to think about and what to focus on. But in mindfulness meditation, you have to consciously and deliberately direct your attention onto something specific. If the tape or CD is necessarily attention grabbing, how can it help you develop your attention? It would be like having a spotter doing all the work in a bench press – the weight is moving but your muscles won't get the benefit.
The question is whether the attention directing part of mindfulness is what brings the benefits, or whether it's the state that this practice puts you in. Is it the fact that you move the weight, or the fact that the weight moves, that brings the benefit? This is quite a hard thing to test, because the two things covary so closely.
One way to test it would be a randomised trial of three groups – one guided meditation, one unguided meditation, and one control group. I don't think this has been done, although there is a similar study, which looked at somatic relaxation exercises versus mindfulness. This is pretty similar to what I'm talking about here – the attentiveness part versus the relaxation part. I haven't got the actual paper to go over at the moment, but the conclusions stated that both exercises increased positive moods and reduced distress, relative to the control group. However, mindfulness meditation was the only technique that reduced ruminative and distracting thoughts. So both the state and the attentiveness are beneficial, but for different things.
But guided meditations don't have to be the sleepy relaxing kind. They can also be used to help mindfulness, for example by having a voice that pops up now and again to remind you to be mindful. Mental Workout have one of these. It lasts about 20 minutes, and every now and then a voice pops up and says "If you find your mind wandering, just return your attention to your breathing." So there's probably only about 3 minutes of audio over the whole thing, you just pop the earphones in and forget about them.
These would be good to start off with, like training wheels, letting you learn how to ride the bike without worrying about falling off. But eventually you'd have to outgrow them to progress further. I think some studies have been done using meditation CDs of this kind, I'll try to look up the studies and what CDs they used.
It seems then, that the traditional hypnosis-type guided meditations aren't conducive to mindfulness practice, since you can get the benefits and more by actually doing mindfulness. Training-wheel-type guided meditations are more suitable, but they will eventually outgrow their usefulness.

Download Crazy UFO for PC
Shivam Srivastava August 22, 2014 0
Crazy UFO is a simple endless runner game, specifically a variant of Flappy Bird. The game is much similar to that of Flappy, though with some variations in the interface and the characters. There are plenty of Flappy bird clones available in the market, however, this game is quite good. The USP of the game can be considered in its background, giving it a spacey look. This seems quite cool and attractive, actually much more than you might have already seen in the original game. The obstacles and the gameplay remains the same. The character is changed and made a UFO as the name of the game suggests in itself.

The main objective in the game is to make as farthest run as possible without hitting the obstacles. The obstacles are exactly what you have already seen in Flappy bird, although instead of pipes, there are asteroids, which are arranged, in a similar fashion. The only control that the game possesses is the tapping on the screen. This tapping makes the UFO move up. More you tap, the higher it will go.
The game becomes a bit difficult when you go farther in the game. Also, there are times when you might be confused between the background and the real objects. This is experienced owing to its spacey background and not much isolation between the graphics of real and background entities.
How to Play Crazy UFO On PC?
Crazy UFO is a game developed for mobile operating systems. It is available for many mobile operating systems, such as Android and Windows Phones. It is not yet officially available to be played on windows or any other operating system based PC. However, if you have too much eager to play this game on your PC then it is possible. For this we can make use of some emulator applications. Such are the applications that allow an android or a windows mobile app to be installed on a PC. For Windows Phone OS, there are no such emulators available. For android there are some android emulators available, which we will be using.

Crazy UFO can be played on PC using an android emulator. There are many android emulators available in the market; some of them are Andy, Bluestacks and Youwave.

Crazy UFO when played on PC will be the same although you might have to know about the controls. In case you have a simple device without touch screen, you will need a mouse to tap and make the desired action. However for touch devices, it is as simple as playing on android device itself.

Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal welcome second baby girl
New York, Tue, 01 May 2012 ANI
New York, May 1 (ANI): Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal have welcomed their second child, daughter Gloria Ray.
The couple, who wed in Italy in 2009, are already parents to a 5-year-old daughter, Ramona.
The couple welcomed their second child on April 19 in New York City, a representative for Gyllenhaal told the New York Daily News.
The 34-year-old 'Hysteria' actress had announced her second pregnancy in November.
"I find it difficult to pretend you're not pregnant, which I had to do," she told USA Today in March.
"I didn't let anyone know until three and a half months this time.
"I went to film festivals. I'm throwing up in the bathroom and having to keep pretzels in my purse, and having to fit into dresses."
Sarsgaard, on the other hand, had other concerns on his mind. Namely, how he was going to prepare Ramona for their growing family.
"I've seen kids with siblings-I don't have any siblings, so I don't know-but they generally go for about five minutes, 'Oh, cool! Anyway, what are we going to do now? Can we return it?'" he told reporters in February.
"I think it gets boring quickly, at first, and it takes a while for them to bond," he had said. (ANI)
