My wife has always wanted a convertible but she loves her car too much to part with it so I replaced mine with the T5. My last car was a big Skoda Superb with an equally big V6 petrol engine. I did over 100,000 miles in that one and I enjoyed every mile so its fuel consumption mattered not. My Jag was far from economical but made me smile and that is what matters to me.

Perhaps most importantly is that the T5 puts a very big smile on my wife's face every time she drives it and especially when the top is down. Her car is quick so she was never going to tolerate driving something slow and even though the T5 cannot be described as fast or sporty it can get a shift on when you tell it to.

If you want a petrol engine in a C70 then go for it. I would recommend the T5 as its fuel consumption is no worse than the less powerful petrol engine and you will love that 5 pot engine. I know that we do.

I have one too, btw
