Hello all from the sunny North,

Waited 5 months to receive my 2012 XFR midnight black Jaguar, and it looks amazing. Have been driving for a week, and would appreciate the input of seasoned Jaguar drivers. This is the first car I've had with a V8, and rear wheel drive. My last car was a Lexus ES350. The big difference I've noticed is that the XFR is a rougher ride. The cabin is loader, but I guess this is expected from a bigger engine, but the overall feel is not as smooth. I feel more vibrations, plus the defects in poor roads through the suspension. I'm not complaining, just wanted to make sure that this is normal, and expected from such a beast of a car.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Can't really help you, but I would guess that an XFR does have a firmer ride than the Lexus.

Try the question in the XFR section.

 

Welcome to the forum,

The XFR guys will give you the answer , but I'd expect the Jag to be a lot firmer than the Lexus.

 

Always nice to see another Torontonian on the forum. Im in Vaughan and have been enjoying my 2003 XKR since March 2010.

Congratulations on the car.

Anthony..

 

Thanks All, will post my queries in the appropriate XFR section.

 

All of what you are saying about the rough ride is about right but I'll take it I love my XKR

 

Thanks, just wanted to be sure.

 

Welcome to the forum. Very nice vehicle you have purchased. I am sure after a bit more driving her, you will forget all about the Lexus.

Enjoy all the site has to offer!
