Default 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.

Welcome to the forum ddelu,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK/XKR tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.


Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the USA Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link USA Lower Atlantic - NC SC FL GA - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
