Sorry, I am well aware that Land Rovers (Range Rovers in particular) are wickedly unreliable. I do not drive them. I was referring to Jaguars. Funny though - I once read a thread about Range Rovers and some guy said “they’re terribly unreliable, yes, but I just love them” and everybody sort of sheepishly agreed that they were willing to put up with all the (insane) headaches for the pleasure. Not my bag but there it is.
Beats driving a Civic (unless it’s one of the awesome Civics from the late 80s. Vroom! Love the visibility) My sister’s 99 is so boring it makes me want to commit suicide just looking at it.
Jaguar made a little splash a few years ago when Ford pressure resulted in them being put together better from the factory according to ONE JD Power study. That doesn’t mean anyone familiar calls the brand reliable over a year’s use, and they’ve sunk again to near Rover range with JD Power.
Jaguars are still at the bottom in True Delta and Consumer Reports.
People buy them because they’re sex on wheels, not because they’re dependable daily drivers. BTW, my wife does work for a Jaguar dealer.
