Default just bought 2011 XJL

I just picked one of these up, it has relatively low miles 25k, just wanted to see what people like best about their car, tips/tricks.

Also I'm getting some things looked at as it is still under warranty by my local dealer, any experiences?

The issues I'm having is front sunshade won't close and front cup holder cover is broken-not sure if this is covered but I'll get it fixed one way or another. Anyways love the car so far and should get 35% tint next week all around. Was thinking I'd want to change the 19" toba alloys but i actually like them so no need for less sidewall.

The Pirelli P Zero Nero tires that came on your car when new are not warrantied against compound cracking at ambient temperatures below 45 degrees F. (7 degrees C.).
The rubber compound used in these Summer tires becomes hard and looses its ability to grip the road at cool temperatures well above freezing, therefore they should really only be used in the summer.
Even with 19" wheels, bent rims from potholes are reportedly common in states with poor roads.

Thanks, fortunately I won't be doing much if any driving in temps below that here as those our the overnight lows, but good to know. Regardless the tires will be getting swapped soon enough due to wear.

Also being in suburbia, not many potholes but will pay extra attention.
