Given JLR’s legendary reliability, plus technology that’s new to them, I think I’ll pass.
Since being deshackled from BL, BMW and then PAG (Ford), the reliability is pretty good. But a poor reputation is hard to shake - ask Skoda or even owners of our beloved Omegas . Ironic that the Indians have managed to get it on track
But, given people of the UK have a massive hard on for all things JLR, I’m sure they won’t be able to build them fast enough.
I don't think the UK is the biggest market, or the most profitable... ...but what you are saying is you don't want to see a Jaaaagggg section here on OOF?
True, it’s probably no worse than any other, my view is probably a bit skewed as a guy I qualified with works (or did up until October last yr) in their “operations audit” function so I get all the horror stories, including, but not limited to:
- cars being shipped to dealers with mismatched interiors
- cars being delivered to customers (and subsequently being driven) with no oil in the diff
- cars being delivered with functions not working (heated seats are common)
- cars being delivered not to spec
As said, probably no worse than other manufacturers but not good enough given their cost IMO.
