Hi all,
Greetings from Geneva (am Dutch but have lived here for 20 yrs)! Decided to join this forum following a loving encounter with the XE at the Geneva Car Show last weekend.
Currently driving a June 2012 XF 3.0 V6 Diesel, which we love to death as a family and travel car. But .... it's warranty is coming to an end in June, it's got 58'000 km on the clock, the extended warranty service packs are relatively expensive (for what you get) .... and so the XE seems to come at the right time.
Sure, 40 cm shorter which translates into less back seat leg room, and less boot space. But given that we're a family of three, we may well survive this small sacrifice.
Last Sunday we popped over to the Car Show at the invitation of Jaguar to have a closer look at the XE, and it did not disappoint. Prior to the visit I had already configured "my" XE on the Jaguar website: XE Portfolio 2.0l i4 180 Diesel Turbocompressed (Automatic), Ammonite Grey, Black Pack, Light Oyster seats, and sun roof. And Lord and Behold, an exact same model was on show!! It's fate, it has to be ....
To make a short story short, simply a gorgeous car overall. Sure, it felt a little cramped and the interior and dashboard a little more cluttered compared to our XF. No air vents that magically open and close, but I think I can live with that .... plenty of other stuff to show off with ...
Next step, make a decision .... to sell our beloved XF and go new and small, or stick it out for another year and consider the F-Pace? Leaning hard towards the XE at the moment .... Hopefull, this forum will give me some further insights to make the decision ...:laugh:
