Jaguar XF Brand Reputation: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2016 | Unlike, say, Hyundai, Jaguar isn't new to top-shelf luxury sedans. Founded by Sir William Lyons, they've been building desirable high-end automobiles since before the second world war, and in the quarter-century after the war created some strikingly beautiful, cleverly engineered sports cars and sedans. The "leaper" badge might yet lack a reputation for reliabilty (they've been turning that corner since at least the 1970s), but it doesn't lack for a storied history or the attendant status. Plus not everyone has one. If you want a prestigious yet not hyper-expensive car that many of your friends don't already have, a Jaguar could be the way to go. see full Jaguar XF review |

It is a cult car. People tend to buy one 4runner and continue to buy them for the rest of their lives. I like knowing that I drive a car that people love so much it will be the only car they own. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
