Why did you choose the Jaguar I-PACE?
In 2019 there were not so many EV models available. I wanted a luxury electric SUV with a decent range. I tried a Tesla Model S but thought it was poor quality as a car and the Jaguar I-PACE was the main alternative at the time.

Have you experienced any faults with the car? If so, what have they been?
Just one, after a few months from new I started to get a gearbox fault. JLR took the car back for a month and gave me a free loan car. The problem was sorted and I have had no issues in the last three years. It’s a very reliable vehicle.
