The XFR is composed and comfortable over all types of road surfaces. That's a wonderful and somewhat rare attribute for any car wearing a high-performance badge. For that reason, I feel this Jaguar should have wider appeal to the commuting enthusiast who needs a comfortable daily driver than some of the alternatives. It maintains the sporting looks and go-fast power without the tiring harshness of a super-stiff suspension.
I found the seats to be excellent, but they're positioned so that entry and exit can be tough, especially for older adults. Additionally, the narrow seat bottom makes the seat unrealistic for larger adults. I'm completely comfortable with the rotating gear selector and think it's pretty slick. It's a much better change than the alternatives that Mercedes-Benz and BMW have been putting forward. Jaguar has maintained the common order of park, reverse, neutral, and drive as you twist the dial. So while it's a different motion to select gears, it's still the same basic concept that most automatic drivers have used for their entire motoring careers.
