XFR-S

[steelej]

So I had an XKR 4.2 from 2007-2012 and since then always wanted to get back in a jag, family man now so had to think practical so picked up an XFR-S this week, great to be back in a Jag, love it!!!

Very nice indeed, who'd have thought 10 years ago that Jag would have got away with putting a spoiler like that on a saloon

Congratulations. I've had mine for a year and a half now and covered about 15k. It's a great car.

Lota of traditional Jaguar walnut polishers hate it and Germanic sorts dislike it too. I think it's fantastic.

Hugely capable car, but it manages to deliver some fun too which IMHO the Germans mostly fail at.

Thanks Jamie, absolutely loving it so far and haven't even had a dry day since I got it so looking forward to a proper drive, hopefully soon

Is it still on its OE P-Zeros? I punctured a rear at around 6k and the wheel and tyre insurance the dealer chucked in replaced it. At 12k that left me with one on the wear markers and one with a few mm to go - I couldn't keep up with a Nissan Juke off a roundabout on a damp day and replaced them with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Highly recommended for when the time comes!

The P-Zeros were decent when new but they got pretty slippery when worn down a bit. My fronts are cracked round the treads too - they'll be getting replaced with Michelins too.

Yeah still on the P-Zero's, I've got the MPSS on my F430 and love them, definitely going that route when the time comes

Love these things, much more usable than an F-Type.

Really?
Don't you find them rather noisy?
The F-Type is so much quieter, what with not having seats in the back for the damn kids!

The XFR-S could do with switchable exhausts to help drown out "Let It Go" from the back seats.
