ah well Pat autumn will soon be here. What have you ordered ?
Just saw my first xe in the exact colour and wheels combo at jaguar tamworth today.
See pics
looks lovely in this colour.
Photos do not do this car justice at all.
In the flesh it's got such a nice stance and the curves and tension of the design come to life when you see one instead of a photo.

Lucky you, 5 more sleeps till your XE
Be interested to hear what you think about the seats. I've only seen the black and red in the flesh. They looked a lot better in real life. I was tempted to go for the black and oyster myself, but having not seen them I decided to go for jet. I reckon will look great, post some pics when you get it, then I can drool over the pics.

Yep, I'm looking forward to hitting the local B roads to check out the handling. All the reviews I have read and seen to date have heaped praise on the handling and ride qualities. For me that's one of the major attractions, well that and the fact I love the look and styling.
Yes I think the front of the car looks so mean and stylish.
The only thing which I think is a let down is the space you put your fingers in to close the doors, Car magazine said it looked like a plastic bath for a barbie doll and it does it looks proper cheap and nasty.
But with the lovely seats, f-type steering wheel and superb dashboard its easily forgiven.
The way it drives due to the expensive front suspension will put a smile on our faces much longer than the initial disappointment of the bath tub.
This will be my first rear wheel drive car so will look forward to adjusting to the way it drives, especially around damp greasy 2nd gear roundabouts!
I currently drive an insignia SRI, its got the 19" 5 spoke alloys and I still think it's a nice looking car, after 3 years and 65k miles it hadn't missed a beat!
It's done me well. Car before that was a mk1 Focus RS.
The way that drive was awesome and even thought its 0-60 in 5.9 seconds it feels much quicker because when the turbo kicks in there's a proper shove in the back!
Drive the XE S s a few weeks ago and I thought it would shove me in the back like the RS did but becuase the powerband is so linear the shove is less pronounced.
Oh how I miss that RS.

Picked up my car today, had lots of people in BMW 3-Series and Merc C-Class's giving me admiring stares today.
I love the oyster interior looks fantastic in the flesh, So happy with the colour and wheels combo.
It handles so well, I'm running it in at the moment but you can tell its got some grunt.

I come from a vauxhall Insignia and it's better than that, I used to have a focus rs and it feels as good as that gearbox too.
It's good, short of throw and positive. Plus you can drive the car and feel involved!
I tried the auto box which is amazingly smooth but it's just stop and go.
With a manual you feel closer to the car, you are driving it!
I like it so if you have ordered it don't worry, you have made the drivers choice!

Great choice, and thanks for the photos of the interior and oyster/jet combination.
I'm with you on that re manual, was tempted to get the auto but went for manual for similar reasons. I no longer do alot of motor way mileage, so charging around twisty B roads in a manual is more fun to me and suits me and my driving style.
Good to hear you like the manual. Most reviews of the manual that I have seen have said it was good, I think I saw just one or two that were undecided. It's always hard with reviews, as with everything it's based on personal opinion and what you have past experience of. So good to hear your view.
Enjoy :-bd
