Drove the Jag in the snow and ice today.....loved it....Just like an SUV....I saw a Mercedes anda 745 Beama stuck in the snow....i was laughing my azz off.....
I must admit, i was quite surprised with the AWD. Having the AWD is one of the main reasons i got the Jag.....
Still trying to get used to the transmission and engine....It seems like the tranny shifts to prematurely. Is this normal?

Racer,
Is it okay to keep on sports mode all the time? How much does it affect gas mileage?
My Saab 9-3 was a manual, but it definetely seems like the Jagtranny shifts way too early into the next gear. And when you push the gas, the car hardly moves unless you really punch it.

In sports mode, it shifts at a bit higher RPM, I wanna say an extra 500 rpm's. If you keep your foot out of it, you should be getting 17-18 mpg
I don't see it being a problem in keeping it in spport mode....infact, I think sport mode should be the norm....
try it for a few days and see what you think...
