JACOB’S PICKS
JAGUAR E-TYPE
Call it love at first sight but I have always adored the Jaguar E-Type ever since I chanced upon one in a foreign motoring show before. More so when I got to see it in the metal in 2021. The curves, the proportion, and the whole ensemble of its simple yet elegant physique just have a gravitational effect on me. Simply beautiful.
SUZUKI JIMNY
I would classify the Suzuki Jimny as the one that got away because. It literally was. The mini off-roader has always been at the top of my list of cars I’d buy. In fact, I almost bought one in 2022 but circumstances dictated I had to go for a slightly bigger and more practical vehicle, given the fact that I’m married with three kids. Then again, never say never. Maybe two or three years from now I will finally get the chance to buy the mini off-roader and add it to my garage.
“ONE OF MY MOST MEMORABLE TEST DRIVES WOULD’VE BEEN THE PERFECT VALENTINE DRIVE. IT WAS IN A BENTLEY FLYING SPUR ULTRA-LUXURY SEDAN FROM MONACO TO NICE. “
LEXUS RX 500H F SPORT PERFORMANCE
Luxurious, sporty, and electrified—who doesn’t want a love that makes perfect sense? From the concept car-like design to its posh cabin, the Lexus RX just ticks all the boxes for a great vehicle for a family of five, allowing extremely comfortable trips anywhere. Lexus has always been a top choice for me in the realm of upmarket brands and the RX just fits the bill for all my intents and purposes. Even better, the sporty appeal is partnered with an electrified performance from its hybrid engine, combining utmost efficiency and the thrill of being behind the wheel.
