Video producer Mike Suggett rang in his 30th birthday in style, taking the XF Supercharged for a night out on the town. "Relegated to break-in speeds, I could still appreciate the smoothness and responsiveness of the ride and the peerless interior," notes Suggett, who feels the XF's cabin is "absolutely class leading."
Editor-at-large Arthur St. Antoine agrees, noting, "The lure of all that luscious leather, aluminum, and wood (not to mention, the 440-watt Bowers & Wilkins audio system that has travelers attempting to stand while applauding), suckers passengers aboard." Yet, as St. Antoine observes, the Jag is more than just a luscious interior. "A stripped-bare sports car couldn't make much better time on a mountain road than this otherwise pampering XF Supercharged."
