Hi guys,
Have owned a lot of Jaguars with the most recent being a 2009 XF (3.0 v6d) which I got in 2012.
Despite loving the car as she's now at 90k miles will be very reluctantly loosing her on Friday.
But on the bright side swapping for a 2014 XKR (5.0 supercharged v8), which for 6k miles on the clock from a Jaguar dealer was a bargain at 45k.
Slightly worried the new Jag won't be as comfy or nice to drive as the XF so has anyone made a similar switch? Any advice on settings for seats etc.?
I don't really drive that fast so just want a comfy motorway cruiser.
Thanks
Paul
