Default New Girl from FLA

Hello. Just picked up my 1st Jaguar last night. She's a 2016 XF 3.0 to replace my Audi A5. Love the Audi coupes (had a TT previously) but when I wanted the convenience of 4 doors, I couldn't find anything that didn't look like everything else on the road (AND in my target price). I wanted the convenience of four doors (for my dog, if you can believe it) but the sportiness of a coupe. I won't bore you with everything that I looked at in my 3 month saga, but it ran the gamut- I think if they make it, I drove it. I was starting to feel like my name should be Goldilocks - car too small, car too big, no engine or if it had one it didn't move me, felt cheap, felt old, felt like the designer should have been fired before the car was put into production, and the list goes on... until in desperation, I looked at Jaguar. The moment I drove it I knew it was the one.

I finally took delivery last night and I don't think I've stopped thinking (or giggling) about it since.

Hello, Millie,
Since you Just took delivery, by the time you read this you may have found that not only can you not stop giggling, a smile slowly creeps across your face as you drive along. It's Way more predictable than other things said to make you smile.

By the way, I Luv your tag line. I wondered how many Florida NATIVES there were! LOL

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
