| The Jaguar XJ offers the classic side and dynamic on XF |
Listen to "Money" Pink Floyd, aboard the last XJ worth its weight in cash register.
The Bowers & Wilkins sound system very, very well. We had, it is true, the high end (1200 W), but it seems that 400 W original is good too.

All this is the most beautiful effect, comprehensive and very readable. "Money" is completed, it is time to see if the beautiful English plays the same music in the corners. The answer is yes. With its double-wishbone front suspension, rear suspension of his tires, managed by the intelligent system ADS (Adaptive Dynamics System) while the XJ is like a fish in water in the county. Easy, accurate, well-calibrated, direction recalls French best.
