Currently have an '05 S type R which I love driving and still looks new but developing urge for newer model and a little fresher...ie. backup camera, Bluetooth etc. and all the other newer features. Which year...2014/15 or 2016/17 would be most satisfying to own? Electronics ease-of-use and certainly reliability a big concern. Love the supercharged 4.2 V-8's wonderful power but imagine supercharged 6 would be almost as satisfying. Have to admit, I'll miss that wonderful Jaguar-ish wood trim that's gone away on 2016 and later XFs. Anyone's thoughts? .Bob in KC

 

>Have to admit, I'll miss that wonderful Jaguar-ish wood trim that's gone away on 2016 and later XFs.
That's why I looked for, and found, a 2015 XF.
Last of the Ford-era cars (i.e., DEW98 platform, S-Type, '08-'15 XFs, ~2000s Lincoln LS, and the last Ford Thunderbird).
All the wood all the leather, doesn't look like a Toyota inside...

You dreamed of a big star -
He played a mean guitar -
He loved to drive his Jaguar...

So welcome to the machine

 

I got a 15 for the same reason, I4 to optimize gal mileage (~25mpg) since I'm not a racer, had 45K and added an extended warranty from Infinite Auto Protection for 5yrs/75K additional coverage for common items
