Yup, and I suspected that going in...

I'm not too put off by little minor things... as long as the engine doesn't blow up I can handle it.

Think I mentioned this when I bought the car... I tend to repeat myself these days. I had narrowed my choices down to 3.... BMW, Mercedes, and the Jaguar. BUT... couple others were in the running for while.. like Buick.. like what they're doing these days.

So I test drove my top three choices. For me it was a slam dunk for the Jag.... I would rate them this way. Jag - then BMW - then Mercedes. It was the handling.... for most I think it's the Mercedes because of the softer ride... I don't care about that... I prefer being able to feel the road.

In 'city' traffic I could feel a difference between the Jag and the BMW but it wasn't much..... it wasn't until I took them both out on a windy foothills road, (very near the dealerships), that the Jag roared. Not that the BMW was bad... it was great, actually, but the Jag was incredible.

I cannot recall ever having driven a Triumph... although I'm sure I must have. So I can't comment on how they handle... but they 'look' amazing, very sexy. Better than the Jag, BMW, and Mercedes in 'looks'... for me anyway.
