Newbie Alert!

[pagdodd]

So, I have just had it confirmed that my next company car will be a Jaguar. Quite the step up from my Mondeo (hopefully)

All I know is that it will be an XF Portfolio Auto in Ammonite Grey with Black Leather interior and is coming mid March.

As often when getting a Company Lease, you don't get to add any options as the car is already built.

I am an avid tech-head and like my toys! and to be fair to the Mondeo, it does have a lot going for it, in terms of tech but is starting to show it's age now.

So what can I expect to receive in mine, assuming that is just a stock Portfolio?

E.G. does it have Adaptive Cruise Control as standard?

Just look on the Jaguar website

Welcome to the club, Paul.

Are you able to get the VIN number of the car?  --  That will enable you to get details of any factory fitted options.

Regards,

Peter.

[pagdodd]

Thank you, helpful.

I have already had a look.

Just thought I would ask on here as it is a good way to introduce myself to the forum and get it in normal person speak, from folk that already own the car.

 

p.s. in reply to dewillia..

It depends on the exact model: It will be very well equipped, but the Jaguar website will give you all the details.

I had the 3.0D S Portfolio, which had pretty much everything, including the best sound system I have ever heard.

[pagdodd]

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I am not sure on the exact model or spec. Will just have to wait and see :-)

[Leo]

It should be well worth waiting for! Jaguars have a certain presence which is unique, and which I love: You feel a sense of occasion every time you get into the car.

I shall be interested to hear your comments when it arrives.

No doubt you will get sick of me before I even get it. I think the wife is fed up of hearing about it already! :) 

[Leo]

No way Paul, this is one place where nobody gets sick of hearing about Jaguars!

So, I now have the VIN number and the list of spec for the car.

Can anyone help deciphering this lot!!!?? :) 

main question, does it have adaptive cruise control? I see as it a £0 option based on the Jaguar configurator?? 

I am not even 100% what colour I am getting. I was told grey with black interior, but there are different grey's and I cannot see on this (or I am missing something)
