Depends how sensible I'm feeling. No matter what its a hard choice.

 

Yep, me too. The whole idea of getting one of these is that it's a useful car, and a sporting car, all in one. Don't "save" it. Drive it!

 

Yep, drive mine to work everyday, no problems!

 

Daily driver, and probably better in that role than the BMW I traded in on it. Have a minivan to haul the dog around in when I need to (greyhounds do not ride in Jaguars).

 

Daily driver. My only driver. I sold my Lexus GS 430 a couple of week after getting the 2012 XF Premium.

Happy Camper

 

I drive My XFR daily as well for now until summer is over. Then my wife can have the car as I am shopping for something else. I do have a 70 Nova SS wit ha big block in it I drive to cruise nights and use for bracket racing at the track.
I really like VS2's 2 cars in the above pic!!!

 

Holy cow I love that Cuda!

 

I daily drive my XF. My XF replaced my X-Type which I bought to replace my Solstice as the daily driver. I sold both cars to get the XF earlier this year.

 

Daily driver. 19,000 miles worth in 10 months (2011 XF with Sport Package).

 

How do you feel about the Jag compared to the GS that you owned? I was actually considering an LS460, and I still may check into it. However the 460 doesn't strike me as something you'd want to drive every day as your only car. Did the XF replace a lot of the features you needed/missed/liked in your GS?

 

I had a 2001 GS that I bought in 2003. I can say that it was the most reliable car I've ever owned. It is a much sportier ride than the LS (L for luxury) and did have a 300HP V8, but no comparison to the XF.

I bought the car for business reasons and ended up keeping it much longer than I expected for a lot of different reasons.

If you wanted something that was a comfortable ride for a long trip, but would still get up and go when needed it was a great car. I strongly considered getting a dedicated sports car and keeping it for the daily ride.

Once I decided on the sport luxury car, I drove a lot of cars and was down to the BMW 535 with M-sport package or the Jag. While I liked the BMW a lot and it met all my original criteria, the Jag just made my heart race. The really tough decision was between a 2010 XF SC and the 2012 XF portfolio (demo with 9000 miles). I just ended up liking the ride a little better on the 2012 and they were willing to negotiate on the price. And the London Tan interior (middle aged, single, DAF - date approval factor) had NOTHING to do with it. :-)

Long answer. Ok, my best impression is that the car is somewhere between the GS 430 and the Porsche I had just before that. Great ride, but punch and fun when you want it.

Dailiy driver here as well. I have a Camaro i keep as a "garage queen" for various reasons, but the Jag is what I drive daily and don't worry to much about resale etc.
