You also mentioned seeing the traction control light coming on a few times. I think the traction control on these cars is pretty sensitive and it tends to cut the power rather abruptly which causes the car to be jerky. This is especially noticeable when turning (such as pulling out into traffic) when you are trying to speed up and the tc is trying to slow you down.
The other incidents, lurching, were seperate situations.

I was surprised too by the "grabby" brakes the first weeks of driving the R. I used to race a Subaru STi which also had Brembos from the factory but felt nothing like the Jag's. LIke some people already said, it just takes getting used to. They are powerful brakes though so I love that!
Driving with the tranny on "4" instead of "D" on side streets, I must say I haven't really felt the lurching when slowing down. In Sport mode and "4" the car LEAPS off the line.....so fricken nice! lol.

Thanks for the tip. I had a salesman who knew even less than I did about the car.

Offtopic: I use this software in a number of places but there they let you edit your posts. Some for only a short while. This is very helpful if you have an error like I did recently with links not working properly. Instead I have a slew of worthless posts. I'm sure there's a reason but I don't understand it.
