That's the thing, performance is intoxicating. However, it gets old at 600-700 miles per week commuting and traveling. I drive A LOT and I've honed my likes and dislikes over many years.
I absolutely love the performance of the better Corvettes. But they drive like Malibu's. Sadly, they feel numb in normal traffic. The GTR is refined and often considered boring.
The Jag is no high end BMW, and it's no Porsche or supercharged Corvette. It's tuned for street fun, not track day prowess. Comfortable, refined, nimble and very responsive. It falls short of the others, by design, and that's what makes it such a pleasure.
