Jaguar is still a Ford, if you drive them both I think you will like the Audi, but then I am prejudiced!! I have had 5 Audi's and only one Ford.

No brainer for me. My 3.0 stickered for $5k less than an equally equipped 330xi.

Go for the 3.0 much better car overall, but then again your asking a bunch of biased people

Default I liked the Jag, but it seemed a bit soft to me

I preferred the sportier handling and youthful feel of the audi. However, the Jag is beautiful, and the 3.0 has a nice growl. Might want to also consider resale.

Default A4 is more sporty, $6k less, has quattro

I drove both and thought the A4 has a more sporty feel. The Jag was very nice inside and I do like the styling (except the leaper on the hood). The image of the 2 cars are very different. The A4 is solid Germany sports sedan while the Jag is more sophistication and refinement. I would be worried about Jag quality and how the AWD works (no details but less history).

Edit. My 3.0Q stickered for $3,500 less that an equally equipped X-Type. Eric is stupid.

Default Which 3.0 would that be?

I'm just giving you a hard time, of course you mean the Audi.

Do you want a Taurus engine? No? Get the Audi.
