Hello all! I recently purchased my new (to me) 2012 Jaguar XFR last month. I came from a 2008 Infiniti G37 coupe and have always loved how these cars looked. I have been wanting and lusting after one for the past few years and I'm ecstatic to say that I'm finally a Jaguar owner. I can honestly say I love how all Jaguars look, the entire lineup is drop-dead gorgeous. My dream car is the F-Type. One day I will live that dream but until then...I'm lovin' my XFR!

 

Congratulations and welcome. Great looking ride, enjoy!

 

Old G37:

 

Congrats! I have a 08 G35 sedan as well as my XFR. Love the silver in the facelift.

 

Hope you have fun in your XFR !!! Any mods in your future?

 

Thanks! Loving every minute of it.

 

Thanks and nice! Two awesome cars you have there. Yeah I initially wanted white, but for some reason I was drawn to the silver. It also has red leather inside which I like also.

 

Thanks!! I'm from Plano actually. I lived there for 20 years and just recently moved to Houston. Thinking about whether to mod or not, not looking to do too much but I am looking into the Mina exhaust right now.

 

The Mina or the X-pipe and valve removal I did are the popular choices for exhaust. When you get used to the power or when your warranty runs out (depending on your view on that), get a tune. Best mod by far!

 

Where would you recommend I get the Mina exhaust from with the best price? I am still getting used to the power haha, it sure is quick in stock form already. But yes once I'm used to it I'm sure I will want more. My factory warranty ran out, but I will look into the tune!

 

Welcome, seems a few of us have stepped up from the G, My 2003 Garnet Fire G35.

 

Mina Gallery is the only place for new. Call Chris and let him know you're a forum member for a discount. BiggWill found his on eBay. Check the classifieds here too. You never know if someone is selling.

 

Welcome and congrats..yes they are a beautiful car and kind of rare to see on every corner....Like BMW, Benz, etc.

What are you gonna do about those dreaded front tag holes?..Do you have to have a front tag in Houston?...When I bought mine from Plano..I had them replace the bumper...OK doesn't require a front tag.

 

Congrats and welcome! I always get jealous seeing an XF R!

 

Congrats and Welcome to Jaguar!!! Be prepared for staring ...comments...questions and performance.

 

Looks like I finally figured out how to multi-quote lol.

Nice, are those 350Z wheels? I came from a 350Z > G37 > and now the XFR

Sounds good, I will do that. I love these cars but the stock exhaust note is a bit too tame for me, but I also don't want it to be obnoxiously loud.

Thank you, yes that is one of the reasons why I wanted one. Bimmers, Lexus, Audi, Mercedes are all too commonplace. There are of course a few models of each that I like...but for some reason they just don't do it for me. It doesn't feel "special" enough like the XFR does.

Ah I was waiting for someone to mention the license plate holes. I will see if I can get bumper plugs for them. I believe it is required in Texas, but I never have one.

Thanks! Even the regular XF's are great cars. I was initially going to get that, but decided to wait and save up more.

Haha bring 'em on! The first comment I got was from a girl probably in her 20's walking by and saying "Damn, that is a BADASS car." And she kept staring while walking away. Another guy asked what kind of car that was and said it was gorgeous.

Whenever a Jaguar arrives people notice!

Welcome and congrats on your fine looking R! The F is nice but if you're into sedans this is the right choice.

 

Thanks, and yes they are 350z staggerd rims, along with the 350z Big Brake Kit.
