Just got back from a highway 1 cruze along the ocean. It's a great drive and the XF makes it a lot more fun than most cars. Had plenty of room in the back for luggage and the golf clubs. There is something special about this car that goes way beyond just driving it. I have the same parking issues and always have to look back, just to make sure it's there. I believe I've become obsessed. Gotta go, I need to drive to the store to get a paper clip.
