| Has anyone put 19" on their supercharge that comes with 20"? Found some snow tires for 20's but $1800.00 Would do a new wheel and tire combo for much less if their are no issues. Thanks | |

Got 2009 premium luxury Indigo Blue 2 months ago. 0% financing for 5 years ! Absolutely no problem with electronics. This car is superb and silky smooth with tons of power !! The stares we get are hilarious... Aston Martin rear and arturo wheels are nothing short of spectacular. Deal of the decade for sure !!! Previously had a great and extremely reliable 2000 Acura TL which was stolen and trashed in a joy ride. Unfortunately I don't like the new TL design and the ride too sporty. Will equip with winter tires soon. Any tire suggestions ? |

Jaguar is now an Indian beast (according to the Indian press AND Tata Group) thanks to Tata Motor's 100% acquisition of JLR. Land Rover/Range Rover is also fine Indian heritage now. Both now high quality Indian luxury cars. Power to JLR's new Indian owners/masters. Already Jaguar/Land Rover are establishing component sourcing offices in India. Soon they may be entirely "Made in India".....yessss! |

After waiting 5 months I finally get to pick up my 2010 XF Premium Luxury with Portfolio package, B&W sound, headrest mounted DVD, 19 inch Artura wheels, chrome mirror and side air vent covers and finally rear trunk spoiler. It is Indigo blue with the interior in barley & truffle leather  with the figured ebony veneer. Test drove a 2009 Luxury for two days this summer after I ordered mine and loved it.  My wife was all smiles every time she got behind the wheel. It will be a change going from my 2007 LR3 which was also a great vehicle but now that my wife also drives an SUV I did not see the point of having two in the driveway. Service here at Jaguar Land Rover of Ottawa has been superb. Counting down the minutes.......

I was one of those people who fell for the JD Powers story that Jag hag improved its reliability. NOT TRUE!!!!  I have a 2009 Jag XF Premium with just under 10,000 miles. It has been in the shop 6 times already: 1). Radiator hoses failed. Coolant system leaking 2). Sunroof rattles like tinker toys. 3). Navigation system sporadically stops working for days on end. 4). Rearview camera ceased to operate in warm weather. 5). Thermostat replaced. Cooling system leaking AGAIN. 6). Electrical short in the steering wheel buttons. 7). Rear brakes at 60% of life while front at 80%. Now that the dealer has "looked at them" they are burning hot in the rear. 8). The side view mirror on the drivers door now pops out every time you shut the door. 9). Mechanical noise when going on and off the acclerator. Dealer says performs as designed. Really? That's what they said about the side view mirror the first time I brought it in. For Jag I think performs as designed means breaks frequently. To top it off the service loaner program is hideous. I have been with out my car for at least 12-15 days in the past 9 months. I've had a Prius, Rogue, VW Beetle as loaners. Why don't they use their own cars as loaners and why do I have to add 20-30 minutes to my drop offs to go to Enterprise, fill out paperwork, etc. The good news (I joke) that the folks at the Enterprise office know me now. UGH!!

Replying to: eastoncarguy (Oct 26, 2009 6:51 am) However, for Jaguar [ like most manufacturers ] a first year of production for an essentially all–new model, like the XF is a real risk. My ** GUESS ** is that a 2010 model year XF is likely to be improved substantially over the 2009. I could be wrong . . . - Ray Liking the sound of the new 5.0L V8 [ non-s/c ] version. . . |

Replying to: eastoncarguy (Oct 26, 2009 6:51 am) As to Jag dealers not having their own cars as loaners many new car dealers are in that boat right now. None of our new car dealerships have more then one or two new cars as loaners right now. The reason being that many manufacturers have severely cut back on the support for new car loaners. Keeping new cars as loaners was always expensive but when the factory picked up a good bit of the cost it was doable. Now they aren't picking up as much and selling the cars after they are loaners is harder. We used to always sell our older loaners and make money. This past year we blew thousands of dollars on each loaner getting them sold. The supply of new cars has been curtailed drastically too so many dealers simply can't tie up 200,000 plus dollars of their inventory as loaners. |
