XF 'winter conditions'
Guest
Posts: n/a
As a new member to the Forum, but not a new Jaguar owner this is my first 'dip' into the wealth of knowledge that I'm confident is out there.
Although being able to demonstrate a number of years driving experience in 'winter conditions' mainly in Northern Europe, I have been somewhat shocked at the extremly poor performance of the new XF, in 'light' to 'moderate' snowfall, even when winter mode is set! I would even go as far to say that although I am impressed with the overall performance of the car in 'normal' conditions, over the last week I have come to the decision that the XF it is one of, if not the worst vehicle for traction/grip I have ever driven. I would also add that I am used to driving rear wheeled performance cars but none have performed as poorly as the XF. Could I ask if any other member of the forum has similar opinions? If not then I must just getting fussy in my old age!
