Don't get mad at me cause I don't need a kid hauler. lol Alot of people don't buy the car because they don't feel it's practical for everyday use but since I've moved to FL (no more snow)... I'm going to drive it til the wheels fall off!
That line of thinking is what delayed my purchase for so long. I kept up the "it's not practical" for over a year. I was wrong...it's the most practical car I've ever owned. I have a very stressful job that requires frequent International travel to some nasty areas of South America...and I don't do drugs, and I rarely drink. So I have no real release for the tension and stress that builds up. When I lived in So Cal I had a sailboat and could get onto the Pacific for instant stress relief...no such luck in this part of Ohio. Since I bought my XF I haven't stopped loving it. I look forward to driving to work in the morning, and of course, the commute back home. I get such a charge...Chrysler should talk to me for a customer response story. My wife INSISTED that I buy "Two Harleys" (since she wouldn't let me buy a real Harley), and when my boss said I needed something to help em wind down...that was it...going into my 5th month of ownership and I still get a charge when I start her up and drop the top. I may not be able to drive it every day...due to inclement weather...but I've been running with the top down since March...the heated seats and superb heating system make it all possible.
