I'll be joining in this forum from late next week when I get my 2017 Portfolio AWD. Car is from a main agent a mile from my house, and has 10700 miles on the clock, Colour is Loire Blue with black leather seating. I part-exed my 2007 XJ for it.The car has everything the XJ has, and the ride is just as good, if not better as a test drive showed. I deliberately took the car along the roughest road near my house, and it was superb. Needless to say it is a diesel as petrols are very hard to find here in the UK, so it's my first diesel. I'll be having to add the AdBlue now as well as screenwash fluid !


Wheels are different to the above with more meaty sidewalls on the tyres

 

Congratulations. I have a Loire blue 35T and the metallic effect is superb in the sunlight.

You'll even get to like the interior!!!

 

No doubt !
My description of the interiors of all the current Jaguar models is "Bauhaus with added bling". I do like the traditional interiors a lot, but having now had 2 of the X350s with the old design, it's time to move on a bit. The ride was the astonishing part of the lengthy test ride, being so good, as good as, if not better than my XJ. I found out later when perusing the spec that it has "Comfort" suspension. Looks like Jaguar have heard the cries of pain from those of us who want a bit of comfort and who aren't driving the Nordschleife every weekend !!
