Just converted from BMW to Jaguar XF SV8, fully loaded with every available option, it is awesome. Comfort and performance are the best I have experienced. Can't wait for the XC 16 later this year.

Only problem that I have has is wheel alignment, on the 3rd set of tyres in 8 months, waiting for Jaguar to fix the problem. Anyone else had an issue with this ?

Hi

Hope you enjoy the new jag :)

I have experienced issues with all types of cars that the alignment is never right. It takes someone with a lot of knowledge on how to align a car properly.

May i ask how many miles do you think it has done in those 8 months?

I have done 20,000 miles in 8 months. Jag dealer has reset alignment but recons that the sports suspension on the SV8 is a bit sensitive, think I'll take it to a specialist (Formula 1 looks good to me) after next 5K miles. It's a bit expensive at £300 a corner !!!

I have spent more on tyres than I did on maintenence of the Beemer over 4 years of ownershio, did the same 30K miles a year and tyres lasted 18 months.
