Default Just finished 2000 mi road trip

This is a great GT car! I just did 2000 miles, one day was 700 miles. The car is comfortable, quiet, and responsive. I attracted a lot of attention at rest stops, gas stations, and hotels. Still, the only flaw in my car is the trunk seals that need to be replaced; everything else, including the sound system, is perfect. I will repeat that the trip computer is still overly generous on fuel mileage. Actual mileage is about 10% less than indicated. Even the navigation system routed me on the correct roads. My Valentine One saved my bacon a couple of times. I still cannot believe that I drove 11 hours one day without a sore back or stiff muscle, amazing. Love this car!

That is awesome to hear and love the color! I haven't done a full blown road trip yet but did a quick 300 mile approx there and back trip a couple weeks ago. I too fell even more in love with the Jag and was very surprised at my MPG using normal mode and cruise control. Of course, once I got close to the house, I dropped it into "dynamic", switched over to the paddles, and took back roads. Well, that destroyed the MPG in 10 minutes LOL. All smiles though.

and the CQuartz coating made it very easy to clean up once I got home. Unfortunately bugs still flatten themselves against the nose.
