Jag. The B&W System is good...not great. I personally prefer the Lexus and Mercedes systems. The speakers sound good at low to medium volume but things get a little distorted at higher levels. It's their first system so it's not perfect. With that said it still sounds better than 95% of the systems available.
AI, what the PCD? What does PCD stand for?
Caddy, I LOVE the leather console. It's very attractive....
Skanoski, it does come equipped for sat. The only service supported is Sirius, which isn't awful...it's just not XM which I have at home and in my other car. I'm an XM fan although I get my football from Sirius.
Tommie, I loved Farley and that's one of my favorite movies all time. I make all my new hires watch it. I'm in high tech sales... No I didn't eat paint chips as a kid... Yes, the racing flag (Dynamic Mode) exists. It's really cool. There are 6 different modes the car can be operated in. They're a mix of Drive, Sport, Traction (DSC Full), Mild Traction (TracDSC), No Traction (No DSC) and Winter. In Flag (Dynamic Mode) the car can be operated in Drive or Sport and it automatically engages TracDSC which gives the driver more control of the car while disabling some of the DSC features. It "Optimises vehicle systems to deliver a more involved driving experience." The one time I tried it I felt like I did have more control and could spin the tires more in the corners. It's located in front of the parking brake switch.
The legroom is an issue but not nearly as bad as the headroom. I have a long torso and short legs so it's worse for me. Legroom is fine for me, it's my rear passenger that suffers. Like in most sedans. The rear headroom is a major problem and I'd check it out. I'm surprised the dealer squeezed in behind you. He must have been screaming inside of pain. He's a trooper... There's no doubt the leg and headroom in the XF are less than the E500 and M45. But the styling is far supierior to those vehicles and that's the sacrafice you make the get the coupe look.
Thanks for all the compliments guys. She's doing well and it's a ton of fun to drive....

Hey big tex..............sounds like sooo much fun to drive mate............I'm envious!
I was at the dealer today and again drooled over one in the flesh so to speak, chatted with the salesman who sold me my car and he has one as his demonstrator at the moment and just loves it.....so powerful and yet smooth too.
Well, we've got the XF section opened up now so you can post away till your hearst content mate....check it out.
Cheers
Jim
