What would you change about your XF

1) More padding in the seats
2) More intuitive Navigation System. The navigation system is difficult to use and doesn't have a route preview function allowing you to see all of the steps in your journey. Jaguar just needs to spend about 15 minutes looking at a Honda to see how simple, straight forward and effective a navigation system can be.
3) Audio/Video display that shows all of the information sent by the radio stations/Sirius. Satellite radio (as well as regular radio) broadcasts a lot of information that doesn't get displayed on the screen until you click all the way down to the additional information page, which is 3 clicks from the Home menu. There seems to be plenty of room on the screen for additional information.
4) Better cooling in the seats
5) Improvements to the heated windshield. As much as I like the heated windshield, I still find the filaments in the windshield distracting at night from lights on an oncoming car.

If I could change just one thing, it would be making the screen faster. It's way too slow.
Other changes:
1. More supportive seats
2. Quicker seat heating
3. Eliminate shift knob retraction (I like the knob, but just leave it up, or have an option to leave it up)
4. Optional power trunk closer (like Mercedes)
5. Power retracting outside mirrors
6. Carpeted lower door panels to avoid scuffing from shoes (like the S-type had)
7. Front passenger seat memory like driver's seat
8. Optional side window shades in the rear (like Mercedes)
9. Radio station display between tach and speedo after station change (S-type had this)

Both of these, and a better cooling to the back of the seat.
And the most annoying thing, lose the sunroof if you can't make one that is silent.
Hell, my old POS Saturn Ion 3 had a quiet sunroof, why can't something 4x the money do the same.

Simple temporary fix: crack the sunroof to vent position and take a rag and spray with silicone cleaner (Aero 2000?) and wipe the rubber seal. This is the ONLY fix and lasts about three months.
The rubber seal is too hard for our market. It is designed to keep water out and gets dusty in our climate. Hence the creaking.

I spent 7 days with a 2012 loaner. Apart from the streaming audio, I was shocked to find the infotainment system even slower than my 2011. Especially slow was trying to raise and lower the volume. Took a long time to respond at all, and then a long time to make any significant change in volume. Wow. Prior to that experience, I was thinking I'd soon trade up. I'll stick with what I got, for a while. Unless a righteous SC comes my way. :-)
Agree that the seat cooling could be better. Would like if the seat would move back when I open the door.
