Nice......but not nice enough.

Love outside colour, very similar to my CC 

Personally I would think an all-black interior would look better.

Same interior as mine which I like.

Sunroof far too noisy above 60 MPH with blind open and above 80 MPH with blind closed.

Headroom barely adequate. But a sunroof may be fine for a shortarse such as TB.

De-badged.......presumably from new.

Find that surprising on such a new car, I put sunroof in the 3.2 down to being so old that it's loud. Perhaps it's them in general, the CC does not have one and it's night and day difference in terms of wind noise inside the car.

Also with an XF-R you would spend a lot of time at 80+ 

It's true TB is a shortarse, he also carries a little more ballast, so car sits lower.

I thought your car was white.

Hardly worth it, not exactly wolf in a sheep costume with those exhausts and wheels.

De-badge for me works well on a sleeper, might as well have R badges on that.

Shame, nice looking thing!

I like a red interior (hence speaking it on the bmw) but I'm not sure about red inside and out as they invariably don't match.

As you say tunnie, hardly a sleeper  . Then again, were those wheels unique to the R, or did jag do what everyone else did and allow you to spec all the external goodies with a poxy 2.2d under the hood?

Also, is this different to your current one in any way? I thought you had a FL one already, or did jag make tweaks to the car during its life?

Sounded like a deranged hound howling at the moon the faster the car went. Disappointing.

Despite having the seat as low as it would go my head still touched the edge of the sunroof. Quite annoying as I'm only six-one and not properly tall like yourself.

So it is. I stand corrected.

What do VW call that particular shade of red?

Car virtually identical apart from 21 months, 37000 less miles, and £14000.

It didn't drive any better or feel 'tighter'......brakes not as good as on my car.

Also the car has an ambiguous warranty history. Manufacturers 3 year warranty runs to April 2018, yet a previous owner added a 2 year Jaguar approved warranty in August 2016. Why would anyone do that?

[Viral_Jim]

Owner 1 does something to invalidate the warranty, remap or whatever and gets rumbled. Owner 2 Has it corrected by jag and then buys an updated warranty?  only reason that springs to mind.

The point about brakes is interesting, wonder if yours are just newer. In any case, I hope you find the right one

Very posh.

The CC always reminds me of a Mercedes CL coupe from the rear.
