Who wants an update?

Well I have been test driving the last week or so.

The Fusion..........not bad for what it is. Pretty plain in the basic one but they didn't have the fully loaded version because apparently the car is selling. Whodathunk Ford would have an car that actually sells. But it is a little small for my liking. Surprisingly smaller than the Mazda 6, even though they are on the same platform.

Mazda 6....Nice car, we don't get much off on Aplan($2200 on a $35000 car????) and too bad the wife doesn't like the stick of the Speed 6. That was a hands down choice until yesterday.

Jaguar Xtype. Wife has always wanted a Jag and was bugging to go and test drive one. So I thought for a lark (they are outrageously priced) we would go. Again, this car is on Aplan for me. So we were looking at the sport model they offer. Not alot more $$$ ($3000) for rims tires suspension body kit and a few other things. The car is a little slow off the start, but all Jag's are like that, built for comfort and not break neck speed. Awd too. Nice interior, I was surprised I was so comfortable in a small sedan. But the best part? I get $13,000 off on a $58,000 car. And with that thrown at the residual that makes this car almost affordable. It is still more $$$ than the Fusion or the Mazda, but it is now being given consideration. And after what my wife did as appreciation of consideration last night, I might hold this one in higher regard.
Change the colour to black, but this is the car.
