Sometimes reading what some forum members write gives you the impression they are not too happy with their XFs, or they’ve lost the enthusiasm they once had. But overall most of us are in love with our ride. It's not a muscle car, and it's not the fastest off the line, but it's quick, and it handles great. It's a true roadster. This is what we have to keep in mind. If you want raw power off the line, get a Mustang, or a Camaro/Firebird. If you want a well engineered car, that performs well, and has a level of sophistication, the XF is the best for the money. I still can’t get enough of mine, and the thought of not driving it over the winter will make the winter feel even longer. Like that’s what we need in Chicago.

Enjoy your new ride.
