The car is almost invisible from the sides in the dark, this helps and also makes it look sleeker :

Looks good!

Ours is similar, but it's "Santorini Black". The only thing that's disappointing to me, is the ride height. Jaguar publicity has described how "sporty" this vehicle is, and it is, BUT they set it up so it looks like an off-road, rock crawler. I'd be VERY happy if ours sat about 1.5-2" lower. The other thing is being able to wash the roof, easily. At 6'2' tall, I'm hardly short, but as silly as it sounds, I need a step ladder to be able to wash the roof!! I don't like to open the doors, and stand on the "tread plates", as I don't want to damage them, but it's either that, or get out the ladder.....

Thanks ! It is really sporty as the underpinnings are identical to the F-Type two seater. This car is only slightly taller then our everyday BMW Tourer [ not available on the US market ], a small MPV.

But the solution for washing the roof is simple : a carwash subscription..

@leadfoot4

Looking good too ! I can not make out the model. Its a first edition diesel or the V6 S awd ?

We have our F-Pace since 3 months but we never washed it since the weather was dreary. Now its the first time it displays the full glory of the "Loire Blue" flakes...
