Default New XF owner checking in

Been lurking here for a couple of weeks, really like the site. This is my first Jag but not first luxury sedan, overall I'm more than impressed.

I think I got a decent deal; 2010 XF Supercharged, silver / spice 16k miles and I paid 44k including the CPO warranty to 6 years 100k miles.

I've owned several BMWs and a MB E class in the past and I would say that while the suspension doesn't feel as "tight" in the Jag as the BMW, it is notably faster than any other car I've owned. The power in this car takes some getting used to for sure.

Anyway, glad to be here and look forward to participating. I'm not one for being happy with a completely stock vehicle so I am looking forward to doing some light mods to this car as well.

Welcome! Nice to have another car guy on the site, I don't leave things stock very long either.

Thanks 09XF. I see you're a bow-tie owner as well. I have a 2010 Camaro SS that I ordered and waited 9 months for delivery, I really like the Jag....but man I LOVE the Camaro. Only have 2900 or so miles on it as I rarely take it out, but it's a lot of fun.

DocHolliday, if you haven't already, put the XF in Dynamic mode (hold checkered flag button) and Sport mode as well. Suspension will change and you'll get even more power.
