Hello from South Central (Edinburgh)

Hello folks. I'm the (ludicrously) proud owner of a new XJ L Supersport. I spent a few hours lurking here as part of my research before buying, and now I am a proud Jaguar owner I thought I'd register lest I may be able to help anyone else as I myself was helped.
I'm determinedly middle-aged, married, and I have three children under 10. The XJ is the reward for spending 6 years driving a Renault Grand Espace (which we've kept for bus/van duties).
I never really thought I'd buy an XJ. Not until that fateful day when the saleslady offered me a deal that was almost too good to turn down. The obvious choice for a fast saloon car was a BMW M5, but it was too hard and too small.
Now, every time I drive my XJ it makes me smile, and I realise I made the right choice. The children have christened it "Perry" (they watch a lot of Phineas and Ferb).
I'm only two weeks into my ownership, but I'm loving it.

The 5 year old uses a simple booster cushion. Also no real impact on the car.
The 8 year old is tall enough to not need any apparatus. She sits in the middle, and the primary worry with her is stopping her from kicking the rear climate controls. Naturally, the child locks are on, the rear windows deactivated, and the rear climate controls locked!
My experience is to always use ISOFIX seats, and always use the plastic collars they give you. This stops the ISOFIX bars from rubbing against/tearing the seat fabric as you install/remove the seats.
