Hi All, currently awaiting delivery of an SE-Rsport 2.0l in Italian Racing Red, 2016 model

Am looking forward to it, haven't found to many negative reviews yet, and as someone once said to me, Happy users don't usually post, I will try an buck that trend

Welcome to the club, Roy.

You are quite right in what you have said about negative reports  ---  only a small percentage of owners --- but sharing experiences is a good thing although I like to see the ones who praise their cars and share the good experiences too.

I hope you enjoy the club as well as your Jaguar.

Regards,

Peter.

My s type on a rainy day last week in Arnside, Lancashire.

Well, what can I say love this car, thought I would have misgivings after owning an ST220 for the last 14 years

but apart from an Aircon not working hitch, new condenser to be fitted next week, I can say this car brings a smile to my face.

Has a few weird idosynocies that are taken me a while to get my head around, the auto stop/start seems random, probably me, related to this, sometimes when you come to a complete stop, and put the handbrake on, the car shuts down without pressing the button, hence if you press button while foot on brake, you actually restart the car, I have no doubt once I get used to it, I will not think about what I am doing. Early days yet!

And the Radio, staying on for only 5 mins, can't see the point if all you are going to do is override it.

But if this is all I have to whinge about, I shall stay very happy.

Hope photo's ok, I am no David Bailey

Rather good, Roy.

Getting used to the  idiosycracies of a new car does take time, but it can be an interesting journey.

SWMBO has not done much driving over the last 5 or 6 years as she found the Jaguars rather too big, and so I bought her a Toyota Yaris Hybrid to get around in, and also which saves me form places like Waitrose and Saiisburys.  On the occasions I drive it, I  get quite mystified over the differences with instrumentation, although I have now mastered how to use the windscreen wipers!

Regards,

Peter.
