Hi All, I'd like to introduce myself and my new coupe delivered just under two weeks ago after parting with my XF-S. I'm so overwhelmed on this model I haven't stopped smiling since I took delivery, still driving patiently under the recommended 4K revs for the first 1200 miles only 688 miles to go then watch out Somerset lol. Only one gripe to mention so far, the dreadful SD Sat Nav the dealer told me Jaguar had made improvements from my XF-S yet I see a system that's gone backwards come on Jaguar big disappointment! <br /><br /> <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/uploads/570/20150719_121423.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />Other than that love the engine noise and all the admiring looks from the public I've never had strangers come to me and wax lyrical over a car I've owned before.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Nick
 
Welcome Nick. <br /><br />You'll find plenty of ramblings about the sat nav on the forum. <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
 
<p>Ah yes, the sat nav. I think it tries to maximise your enjoyment by keeping you in the car as long as possible ;o) Check against google before you set-off, always hit review route and NEVER say yes to the traffic updates - after that just enjoy the lovely B roads it find you! No one cares if you are late I find, they just start arguing about who is having a lift back :P</p><div>Very shiny new beastie btw, puts my sluice down with a bucket to shame! Is it standard red or IRR? </div><div> </div><div>Jess</div><div> </div>
 
Hi Jess, after a bit more investigation I found in the menu where to avoid the dirt tracks and farmers fields on my trips. From this experience I shall use Google Maps on my trusted Note3 to guide and warn me on any impending safety cameras and speed traps lol.<br />I had IRR on my XF-S but opted for the new Caldera Red a bit darker than the Salsa Red from earlier versions. But now I'm determined to keep the car in show room condition as long as possible no more trips to the local hand car wash.
