I bought 2 XFs brand new. A 2007 6 spd Limited & a 2008 Automatic Limited. I put 90,000 trouble free miles on the 6 spd before trading it in on a SUV. During the last 40,000 or so miles of ownership I had 265/35/19 Blizzacks on the rear......NOTHING stopped that car!!! Drove around stuck pickup trucks when 10 inches of snow on the roads!!!!!!

Still have the 08 (29,000 miles on it so far) also trouble free.
