I'm sorry it didn't work out Roma. I went through a similar experience with my first Jaguar in 1987. I took delivery of a 3.6 XJ40 six months after it's launch and then suffered a 13 month string of failures and Q.C issues until I sold it for what I paid for it thanks to a six month waiting list. Unlike your experience my dealer was excellent, but I vowed never to buy another Jaguar. I bought a new BMW 5 series in 1990 and stayed loyal to the brand for fifteen years until Chris Bangle's whacky racer styling wrecked it. I fell for a three year old XKR in 2005, which made up for the failings of the XJ40. I really enjoyed the XKR, which was 100% reliable, but by the end of 2007 I needed of a more practical and economical car. After the XF was announced my three options, the Audi A6, BMW 5 and Mercedes 320 CD, looked bland, weird or boring, so I put my name down for an XF and the rest is history. OK, there have been a few niggling little problems which reawakened some bad memories, but everything has been dealt with efficiently apart from the sat nav logic. I think the XF is the nicest car I have owned, but the experience could still have been ruined by a poor dealer. Good luck with the replacement wagen and don't polish it away before the R8/Porsche slayer arrives!.
