I took my car in to the dealer and was given a 2015 XF 3.0L s/c AWD as a courtesy car.

I have to say, I was extremely impressed.

My normal car is a 2012 XK 5.0L which I very much enjoy driving, and it really does look the business, especially in the colour we got it - a very nice red.

This XF had the 3.0L S/C engine making 340 HP vs my car's 385 but it was very useable due to the way the AWD system put down the power. It seemed almost idiotproof. It was equipped with stop start which worked extremely well with temperatures of around 5 Celsius.

The Meridian Stereo worked superbly, the sound quality was great. The supercharger has a muted sound, it it very nice, suggests performance but is not obtrusive.

The driving position and controls weight were similar to my XK, i.e pretty much perfect. The seats were just as comfortable.

It left a very favourable impression and I'd recommend it to anyone. A truly superb car that drives amazingly well in winter conditions.
