Don't forget that you've got a battery living under the driver's seat, which I suspect would complicate a seat mod at least a little.

Bought a 2017 Jaguar F-Pace R-Sport last week to replace the BoF's daily driver 2014 GMC Acadia Denali. It was a crime of opportunity - it showed up at the dealer's auction that was held the day before Thanksgiving. That day is typically a great day to get a good deal. Plus, it was high mileage (117k miles), so not much bidding competition.
So, at the moment, we are a two-Jaguar family. The F-Pace is really cool, but I have to say the XJ's interior feels more upscale. The F-Pace's interior is a little more plasticky than I would have thought.
And lastly, for a Billy connection, it is a one-owner car, sold new and always serviced at Jaguar Omaha. The lady, a physician assistant, that owned it lived in Elkhorn, NE, and she was nice enough to reply to my email with a little bit of history on it. Some of them Nebraskans can be pretty nice!

You're getting as bad as Cuda... :lol:

I'll be curious to hear your impression of it, especially compared to the P!g. I've given both the XF and F-Pace the side eye for tempting me back to Jag again.

Elkhorn, NE "Richie Rich" neighborhood west of Omaha.

Some, but not all Nebraskans are nice.
