1st you will fall in love with how nice it drives, so soiid and comfortable.
If you can find out who the original dealer was they may have changed the air conditioning evaporator hose under warranty, if not Jaguar USA paid 25% of my cost to put a new one in. IF the hose closes the water backs up and goes through the fan on the passengers feet. I have had no other real issues.
You may want to read the thread on Batterys. These cats get spooky it the battery is not fully charged, minor things like the electronics coming on very slow. My biggest problem is I bought mine in the fall and it is in the garage for the winter.

Thank you all! LOVE THIS CAR! Minor issues abound.
This advice has been extremely helpful in knowing what to look for. I love the car!
Already have the A/C drain issue, but because of the advice was able to minimize damage and prevent water from dripping. I am in negotiations now with the dealer/Jaguar to get this fixed. Read one thread about a home remedy for this...close all vents, put fan on high, water should drain out the bottom hose...but this did do anything for me. I did not see any water draining under the car. Did I do this wrong?
I have noticed that the mid-range speaker is out on the passenger door (Alpine premium system) so I am trying to figure out how to remove the door panel without damaging it to fix/test/replace the speaker.
