Having been a huge fan of Jags since I was a kid I was horrified a few years ago to be sat at a set of lights when a diesel X-Type estate pulled up next to me.

A diesel Jag? A front wheel drive Jag? An estate Jag? All things that are just 'wrong' but together ... oh dear ... it actually saddened me and even though I know car companies have to move on and change with the times I can't help but still feel that Jags should be rwd, petrol saloons or sportscars.

Aything else is 'blasphemy'!

Well today I have seen the modern equivalent.

Yes folks today I saw an Impreza WRXD - now I had no idea these existed until today. I am not a fan of the hatch whatsoever so I guess I just take no interest in the model range and even though I knew they had a diesel now to see if in car bearing the iconic WRX logo is Jag level 'blasphemy'

Oh well back to my classic

 

Have you driven a modern diesel ?

 

yup, all go down below and not alot up top

 

tbf on ur comment some of the BMW RWD set up diesels are brilliant.

i leanred to drive in a one series RWD 120D M Sport.

Brilliant car imho

 

I like mine , probably wont like it next friday when it goes in for its service but hey

Just to let you into a little secret, they don't come from the factory with WRXD on.

 

diesel engined alfa anyone

 

x type jag/ford mondeo same car underneath says it all really......

 

we had an open day at our local subaru dealers last year, and the diesel version was quite a nice drive.....obviously its a diesel and not the 330s, but still was ok...

would i want one...errrr no..
