Looks like a good long distance cruiser. I just picked up a VW Tiguan 2.0L diesel R-Line DSG so I can get lazy as it does automatic and manual gear change via steering wheel paddles.

Jaguar XF Portfolio Sportbrake - 4 cyl 2 litre turbo petrol, 247bhp, 150 mph, 0-60 6.7secs, 8 speed auto gearbox - also has steering wheel paddles if you want to exercise your fingers - much easier to set everything to auto and let it do its thing ...

The paddles can be useful in some circumstances, but I agree better to leave it on auto. The only downside is the petrol economy compared to diesel….especially when doing 0-60 in 6.7 secs or towing a caravan.

Lol - My Rover is a diesel and manages 40mpg on the run down to Italy - the Jag managed 41.3mpg on the run back from Taunton! Petrol is cheaper than diesel too.

It was always more expensive when I was tugging around Italy. I’ve got a 3L V6 Petrol beast which struggles to get 30mpg on a long run and towing a 1.7 tonne of trailer …don’t ask!
