One quick thing. The screen changes seem to be much faster after the upgrade. Anyone see the same thing. I mean MUCH faster!

Well, 15 k on the old girl. Still no problems. I do love this car. We have a new CADI in the office pool. It is a plastic car. GM needs to get back in the high end car biz, but not with what they have today Back to the Jag. I put a SS 250 Mbp drive in the glove box. It works great. Still turns heads. It is settling in as a great riding performance car. The question is.......... If and when I replace in 4 to 6 years, what do we look at? The question of the day.

Got mine in June, 2010 and just turned 20,000 miles. Normally I would already be thinking of what to get next, but I'm so happy with the Jag that I plan on keeping it another year.

Say No. It seems he has no problem saying no to you. Turnaround is fair play. I guess the question is, do you want him to drive it.

Have 14,000 miles and just started getting the roof sounds so its at the dealer now for the panoramic roof fix. I have also had the door handle sticking issue, when in reverse the mirror is not rotating down fully and that B&W system that is suppose to be worth a 13,000 home system keeps blowing speakers. But other than that I am happy.lol

He took the Jag to the prom. He did great! His dates father went wild over the car. Dodged a round here. No dents or marks!

That is pretty incredible. I count myself fortunate to not have to deal with that or another 6 years! Good show!

Just got to 150 on mine.

(I got my 2012 last month and then left the country a few days later for a 4-week vacation. In fact, I'm still in Spain so I haven't had much driving time yet. )

I am at about 14,000 and have had to replace my tires. But my driving is a little different seeing that I am in Germany and drive my car a lot harder than they are probably driven in the States. And this is with no winter driving.

Also my engine light came on this morning and I guess one of my spark plug wires decided it wanted to act funny so they are replacing it.
