Room for a small one?

The only advantage the A5 has over this is the MMI system which is far superior to the Jag touch screen, the A5 whilst a good car is still a front driven stretched passat or a shortened Skoda Superb, this is by far a superior stead in nearly every single way, drive, handling, ride, refinement, interior ambiance etc.
Why look like a photocopier toner salesman, when you can look like the chairman of the board (bit Mike Brewer, but I think you catch my drift)

Well it's home a day early. And I agree with the above. The touchscreen is a little cumbersome, and getting off the mark isn't as good as the A5, but oh such a better car for ride & handling than the A5. 130 miles on the clock and Why look like a photocopier toner salesman, when you can look like the chairman of the board (bit Mike Brewer, but I think you catch my drift)
As said the interface to music could be better - the Audi is great at this. Just the action of changing to a specific artist on the USB stick I have is a tad cumbersome, but I may be able to program a short cut once I have my head around it. The dashboard is a piece of sculpture, there's no comparison, the Jag is way better. Just a lovely place to be. After I played around in it at the dealer at the weekend, I got back in the Audi, and the mass of black really hit me. Don't get me wrong, it's nice, but the Jag is great.I also feel the Audi materials seem cheaper now I have spent time with the Jag.
I also prefer the Jag seats. Never thought I'd say that about a Jag, but all the electric gismos you can play with on them really sets it apart from the Audi - but the Audi was 4 1/2 years old though.
Bit stuck for pics as I leave for work & get homne in the dark, so will post a few up on Friday.

I bought a S5 about 7 months ago... It is likely my next car will be a Jag! Love them!

Middle management and their aspirations...Chairman of the board.. XJ with a driver!
My bro has a recent A6, albeit a 2.0. I have a 2.7 D XJ. whenever we go far away on business he would rather that we go in the jag. I suspect that even if i had the Xf the story would be the same. The ultra firm suspension and identity-kit interior of the audi just does not impress anymore.
Well a year in now. Sum-total of problems:
- The known door rattle
- A small rattle around in the dash around the steering column.
Both these fixed by Sturgess.
Other than that, it's been the best car i've owned with 21k on the clock. Simply head & shoulders above the Audis and beemers I've had. The interior still looks prestigne, and it's had a set of rear tyres at 17k ( they would have gone on longer, but i took it to Austria, so opted for a new pair).
The way this car handles is just sublime, and shows how far Jag have come in recent times. I'd say the build quality is slightly better than the German cars I've had, and the styling still miles ahead. I still sneak a crafty glance back whenever I park it anywhere.
However, it may be up for sale soon, as due to change of circumstances, I've now got a daily snotter, the the XF isn's really used for work now. I have an extended test drive in an R in a few weeks, so all being well with the massive discounts, that'll be replacing the S.
