I am afraid to say but i wasn't getting on with my xf and it has now gone. It just wasn't for me. To sum it up the car is an executive motor, unfortunately not an executive owner. I have never had an auto before and i thought it would be great but it irritated me along with the paddle shifts. Fantastic for long runs more comfort than my living room, but with 95% of my driving on local roads it just didn't float my boat.

Any way i have some rubber floor mats driver side and passenger side if anybody is interested. i'm on 01709 360525 £30 if anybody wants to pick them up if your in the South Yorkshire area.

Wow :!: Buy a car and lose it 5 weeks later; because you did not get on with it
What can I say; sorry to learn that; can only hope you find something else that you will get on with

Sorry to hear that. Did you get the dealer to buy it back?

Ill have to say that after 2 months of ownership of a 2.7 PL I am now thinking I made a mistake. My main issue are the seats which are just dreadful. Our other car which is fitted with Recaros cost half the price & is so much more comfortable and supportive when driving through corners. The XF seats have no support on the sides or seat bottom. In fact I would say the seats in my previous two Xtype sports were of a higher standard. Thats the trouble with 1 hour test drives. The second issue I have is pull of from junctions, why is it set up that when you put you foot down there is a delay of a second or two before it gets up to speed. The turbo lag is not good. I find I leave it in the S mode when driving. Dont get me wrong the car is stunning to look at & I added options of 20" wheels, Chrome side vents, B&W sound, rear spoiler & sunroof in botanical green which added to the look but after two months of ownership I find it hard to agree its what car winner 08

If I could lose the car for a good price it would go staight away but in the current climate a px price will be far to low.

I do agree with you regarding the seats, they are not the best. As far as pulling out of junctions and at lights I flick the gearbox into first and it is great at picking up. The problem in auto mode is that the gearbox starts away in second gear.

I guess the moral is "make sure you thoroughly test a car before you buy" I was lucky and I got to have a few drives in the development cars before I committed.
