Greetings Fellow Jaguarians,
Trust all of you are doing well and are enjoying a happy July 4th. weekend.
I traded for a 2017 XE R-Sport with the V6 back about a year and a half ago, BRG with adaptive dynamics, AWD and 19" Venoms. I got rid of a '13 328i which was a huge disappointment, and only the second bad automotive buying decision I've ever made. I really can't effectively convey just how much I've enjoyed the Jag. It's mind boggling just how good this car is and how well it does everything. There are some curvy roads around here where the handling can be enjoyed but these also have some very rough patches in spots that would shake the fillings out of your teeth in the 328. The Jag soaks these up like a sponge. The same can be said for the rough patches out on I-20. I have yet to get this thing unsettled. It always feels planted and direct, and I have yet to experience even a hint of a twitch in the handling. I'm thinking about a tune and resonator delete at some point but will wait until after the expiration of the CPO period.
I've enjoyed visiting the forums and reading about what others have done with their cars and are planning for future mods. It seems there's not all that much activity here but I think that's to be expected because Jags aren't found on every street corner like Bimmers. At any rate I'm glad to be here and am looking forward to future forum visits and continued experiences in the XE
Best Regards to All

Welcome to the forums Relic,
Good to have you with us. The model forums get busier as members do their own servicing and repairs and this isn't yet the situation with the XE.
It sounds like you've already found your way to the X760 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. You can also use the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...r-atlantic-66/ to find other members in your region.
Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
