Limited visibility, very compromised backing up ( i have no camera).
When parking, the touchiness of the brakes gets annoying.
No control over rear spoiler.
Not much space in the cabin for your things (even the basics).
Wiper fluid only squirts once and then wipes a few times, then you have to press the button again for more fluid, only to get more wipes....when all you want is more fluid to be dispensed.
I don't like the automatic sync with the phone. I dont want to answer any of my calls over the stereo however this is default when I get in the car.

I generally agree with most of the comments. My main dislikes (not that I don't LOVE the car):
1. No voice activated dialling, I loved my Audi S4 and the ability to have voice commands for my commonly dialed numbers. The infotainment system overall is from another decade.
2. Can't use the window washer without washing the headlights (which never need it) and leaving washer fluid over the previously shiny clean hood!
3. Fat cat
4. Backup camera and parking aids are sub-par. Compared to some other premium brands it's pathetic, no overhead view, my Infiniti and the BMW 6 series are two I have seen that are superior.

My 2 cents of a V6S coupe:
- Rattling noises from rear speakers/area around rear speakers
- Car sounds horrible without active exhaust turned on
- Signal/wiper stalk design are old/Japanese like
- Can do with a little more cabin space. I can't fit an umbrella anywhere
- Active exhaust/aircon re-circulation cannot be permanently on while Eco drive cannot be permanently off.

Nothing really bothers me enough to actively call it Dislike, but small niggles are.
- Want to be able to permanently disable Eco mode.
- Turn indicator is both very quiet and doesn't cancel as well as som either cars so often find indicator has been on for a long time without me realizing.
- automatic gear selector can be a bit fiddly moving from drive to reverse and vice versa, often think I have putout in gear and find it still in neutral.
- some odd knocking and clunking behind head when top,is up.
- visibility is not brilliant around the car.
- just a little more space in the boot/trunk would be nice.

By far the climate control system which turns on the ac as soon as the car interior reaches the set temperture even if it is 40 degrees out. The minute I select the auto mode the ac comes on no matter the outside temp. May just be a glitch with my car.
Power windows have stopped going all the way up or down with one touch of the button. I have reset them and selected the option in the settings menu. Sometimes the passenger side window will do it but not the driver's side.
i find the rear camera confusing when backing into a parking space. All those lines on the screen tend to confuse rather than assist with parking. Just my opinion.

I know it's not in the cabin but you do know Jaguar provided space for that in the boot,right?
It's not nice to make fun of the handicapped.., oh, I mean slush box challenged.

You can hold down the re-circulation button and it will override the timed function and remain on until you restart the car.

Perhaps Shift wasn't too far off with his "1980s" comment on the touchscreen.
