I'd take the Jag, but then I don't have to carry snow boards and timber around in the car either.
Surely if you can't fit all your stuff in there its a bit of a major problem, no?

missus drives a Range Rover Vogue so there is always that for anything major, snowboards would go in the main cabin of the Jag just stood up, I like them in their bag flat but I could live with that and as above, it comes with Roof Racks as well so that sorts that issue.
I guess the only off putting thing was the "Old Man" Image but with a few cheap tweeks such as painting the chrome black and I htink I'll get away with it

Looks better than a mondeo (when it's got some decent (jag) wheels and is de-chromed as per his plans).

They're not bad tbh, Dad has it looked after by the VAG/Ford/Vauxhall specialists who also look after my Audi. As said above, its basically a Mondeo so parts are cheap from the Ford bin rather than Jaguar direct.
They're certainly no worse than the Audi anyway.............

Get the Jag. You'll save bucket loads in fuel I bet, which can go towards the tow bar and CD changer.
