Default Greetings for South West Victoria, Australia

Hi Guys & Gals .
Not yet an owner of an F-Pace but very seriously looking to buy a new 2022 3 litre diesel for the wife .
We have not owned a Jaguar before. But I'm on to my 3 Range Rover
1998 P38 4.6 HSE Range Rover
2005 L322 TD6 HSE Range Rover & now
2017 L405 4.4 SDV8 Range Rover AB
The F-Pace is to replace the wife's Volvo XC60 D5 ( diesel no longer available except second hand) . It will be awhile before we get one as order delays are about 10 months
Cheers Gary

Hello, Gary,
Your wife will find a big difference between her Volvo and an F-pace. She'll Like it!

Yes I hope she does. Been very happy with the XC60 but has 180,000 kms on it now. Thought it might be time to update.
Out of curiosity more than anything took a F-pace for a drive and found the seating and driving position more comfortable.
Thanks for the welcome

Welcome to the forums Gary,

Late last year I changed my Porsche Cayenne for an F-PACE. Build quality is up the Jaguar's usual standards for the aluminium bodied models but I do think the trim is cheap in comparison with my XK and the many other Jaguars I've owned over the years. They built it down to a price so something has to go! The one concern I would have with ordering a new one is JLR are now focussed entirely on electric vehicles and support (dealer interest and parts) for the petrol and diesel models may subsequently prove difficult.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...x761-c-x17-87/ to the F-PACE forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the Australia - Victoria/Tasmania Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...tasmania-94/to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
