Potentially a first time Jag buyer, although I own a Land Rover Disco/LR3 and know the brand well (pain included). Wife and I are in need of a second car, and the idea of an F-Pace is appealing to her.

At the moment, I'm trying to compare a 2018 35t Premium vs 2020 25t Prestige. Both are available with around 45,000 miles and look in decent condition for just under $20k USD (and both in grey).

I'm wondering if the 25t engine is noticeably underpowered vs the 35t, or if the 2018 premium trim is bland against the 2020 prestige (2020 seems to have a slightly upgraded looking screen/infotainment, but otherwise the interior looks similar).

Are there any known issues with either, or were either in a particularly reliable patch as far as Jag engines go? Perhaps by 2020, they had the 25t four cylinder 2.0L engine dialed in a gremlin free?

Ps, located in Southern California.

Thank you kindly. I'd love some input from the reddit brains trust.
