Ok I have jumped with the XE, I take delivery of it next week. Outstanding company car, unsure if I will keep the R as a toy or not. I will keep it until the new year to let the Jag settle in and see if the power satisfies me or not.

It has some cracking features on it.

iPhone app to start the car and turn on heating inc front and rear heated screens, locate car, check its locked, preload navigation into the car, check fuel levels etc.

Heated steering wheel
Blind spot monitor to help you reverse out of a bay.
Rear view camera ( had this on my GTI and loved it)
Heated and cooled leather seats with 10 way electric adjustment and 4 memory functions
Keyless entry
Traffic sign recognition with automatic speed limiter (why you would use the speed limiter is beyond me)
Voice control and text to speech system
A jaguar version of carnet....ish


Plus lots of other really clever crap. I'll upload photos etc when it arrives but it will look like this



I like that.  :cool:

Very nice. You decided on the fate of your R yet?

My R is currently sat on my drive, the speed compared to my R is taking a lot of getting used to. I'm having to be more careful at junctions and be more aware of gearing because of the torque. So it will be staying at least until the new year, then I'll decide if I can justify the cost of 2 new cars given I'm the only member of my house with a licence.

Very nice  :cool: It's a great looking car.

You could sell the R, and when it comes time to trade the Jag - go for the XE S!

Is it the auto or manual? Just wondering how the ZF compares to your DSG.
