Well, I'm very pleased to say that my XF arrived on Monday and it looks spectacular. I order a 2.7 luxury in Lunar Grey with Charcoal interior, Venus alloys, winter comfort pack (wont be testing that for a while), DAB & Ipod interface.
I’ve driven the care just under 200 miles in 2 days and really like it but have a few thoughts on the car. My reference point for comparison was my last car a 04 BMW 530d.
Pros
Very smooth ride, very quiet
Looks superb, glad I ordered lunar as I hadn’t seen it on an XF. It gets noticed!
Interior ambiance,
Venus wheel look well proportioned, I was starting to think they would look weedy.
Paddle shifts are superb, shift super fast compared to the BMW manual selection mode
Cons
Engine feels really flat, maybe it needs to loosen up but it is well down on teh BMW. What are they like after a few more miles on?
Seats give me backache, disappointed that for a £34k car there is no lumber support. Still struggling to get a comfy riding position
Noticeable wind noise from the passenger seat.
Manual – Jaguars equivalent to Ear & Peace, make the I-Drive look simple!!
Any comments from you guys who have had teh car for a while?
Cheers Ross
