Which one's which?They look totally different. The XF is similar in size to the 5-series, but is a totally different car.
I'll give you the A60/404 but can't agree on the Cortina Mk11 and the Hunter!Hi, I notice you didn't mention the comparison between the Ford Cortina Mk2 and the Hillman Minx/Hunter or the Austin Cambridge A60 and the Peugeot 404.

I was recently looking at the XE Chris. I found it better than the BMW to drive overall. The 4 series I tried is simply too hard for some poorly maintained roads. I just wish there was a cheaper and less powerful petrol option as I'm moving away from diesel due to emissions, the tax system here will turn against these over the next few years. The only disappointment is the interior; a bit dull which is odd for a Jag, some quality issues and the electronic package not as good as BMW, Audi and Mercedes.
What emissions? My XE 2.0 is 106g/km. Costs me £20/year in road tax.
Nox emissions. Not taxed and the more economical your derv engine the more Nox its likely to produce.
Hi, It might do now but it looks set to change next year, As I understand the Government (bless 'em) are losing too much revenue.
New VED road tax: do you have all the facts on the 2017 UK car tax changes?

On an allied subject; why do people buy diesel executive cars?
They look totally different. The XF is similar in size to the 5-series, but is a totally different car.
The XE is the smaller, 3-series killer, and it really does kill the 3-series. I've just cleared 40,000 miles in mine, and apart from the loss of power - from 275bhp in the XF, down to 161bhp in the XE - it's an amazing car. 300kgs lighter than the XF, 80% aluminium construction, over 50MPG with normal driving, and I've had 74MPG on a run up to the Midlands.
