Nice looking car  but few more options and you are into the increased tax bracket

Yes, £11k of options is daft! And no steering wheel paddles  :sad:

It has paddles as standard.

M Plus pack gives 19" wheels, sun pro glass and HK stereo. Then just add metallic and its job done for £38500. You can add tech pack if head up display and wifi are your thing and it's still just under £40k

I thought it was pretty good value - compared to the Merc or Jag or no doubt the forthcoming Golf Mk8...

That was referring to the 118i.

Yeah I was looking at an XE until I added a few toys and managed to make it north of 50k

It's a pity Jag don't make a hatch as I would have a look at that. I don't think you can even get an XE shooting brake now, has to be an XF.

Yeah the lack of a Jag hatch is a problem - but I still rather like the XE.

Mind you, I probably wouldn't buy one now as its likely Jaguar Land Rover are not long for this world...
