Default new XF AWD owner

I bought an XF AWD late last year, so I've had a few months with the car already and I'm loving it. My Dad has had Jags as long as I can remember, he bought a Series 1.5 E-Type OTS back in the '70s, which was the car I learned to drive stick on, and he still has to this day.

I decided on an XF based on his owning an X-Type, which isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Yeah it's basically a re-badged Mondeo, but it does have that undefinable "special" quality. It's certainly not a 3 Series rival, but in how it rides, and how comfortable it is, the X-Type is a fine car. Anyway, I wanted something a little more modern with all the modern gadgets, and I really like the looks of the XF, I wanted AWD since it's my daily driver and I take it up to the mountains to go skiing.

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Not sure that is correct. Mondeo is "CD" platform. XF is "DE" platform.

Little bit of a misunderstanding here. I was referring to his X-type as a Mondeo, not my XF.
