First ever Jag!

Bought my first ever Jag yesterday and couldn't be happier.
Couldn't afford a new one but found a 2015 XE R-Sport 2.0i 25t for a good price and after 30 seconds of the test drive new I wanted to buy it.
Only had 1 previous owner who bought nearly £4k worth of options. Drives like an absolute dream! Have moved from a Peugeot 308SW so having to get used to quite how fast it is! Also have never owned an automatic before but so far am really happy I have moved from manual.

Does anyone have any tips for a first time owner?

It is Corris Grey. I love the colour. Makes it look more aggressive.

Tips over a 308,
Roundabouts - automatic, always in the right gear to cruise around them
Commute/motorway cruise - just chill in luxury no stress/need to change gear - its all just about road position and smooth cruising

A/B roads, helpful if slightly uphill with curves - just smile and sweep down them...

Paddle - double downshift useful instead of dropping into 3rd on a downhill stretch/slow without sitting on the brakes.

Automatic is just a different attitude - no rushing to change gear, just about road position and speed selection.

They are lovely cars to drive (my opinion only)
