Happy owner after six months
Relatively new Jaguar owner, living in South Florida, enjoying the retired life. Worked as a fire officer for the second largest department in Florida for almost 31 years. Always loved sports cars and have owned many.
As of this month I will have owned my dark metallic grey 2014 XK-R for six months. We are extremely happy with the quality of the car and are more than please with the power and handling. Our XK-R has the sport seats which are a little on the firm side. The longest trip we've taken in it so far is around 4 hours which is about the comfort limit with those seats. On short drives, they're very comfortable and they fit around you extremely well. My best mpg so far is 22. I enjoy reading what others have to say here in the forums and have picked up a few pointers as well.
Tried to post a photo but the resolution was too high. Will post some using my phone as a follow up.
