I presume that's a typo for "tad slower than RWD". Yeah, there are additional transmission losses in the AWD, but, as you observe, you're unlikely to notice it in "normal" use (but it may stay more planted when you're pushing it).

Enjoy the drive!

The car is at Harwoods Jaguar in Crawley. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with them?

If it's the right car then go for it. You have Main Stealer back-up and a Jaguar warranty. It certainly looks good.

However, I don't want to put you off completely but my experience of Harwoods is not pretty. One customer does not make a statistic so don't just walk away, but twice I tried in Crawley. The first was trying to escape from Audi and get an XF estate. My test drive ended on the forecourt when the car failed to "switch-on" electrically. Second time I went in and a happy chap was polishing a AUC with a broken door handle and a puncture. Just why would they not remove it from view? They seemed utterly disorganised, sales wise. To that end why have they photographed your car with the soft-top half way up/down? Poor attention to detail in too many ways for me. As I said, disorganised.

Car 32929. Perfect service history, all 6 stamps all at Crawley dealership including pdi so probably single owner car. The dealer should be able to add some history to it as it was a car ordered by them originally. Enjoy the drive.

Looks like I have just joined the fold after the test drive. Convertible V6S AWD in British racing green. 65 plate with 12000 miles on the clock. Being delivered next week, feels like Christmas again

Welcome aboard!

Did you notice how slow the AWD is?

Not a chance I’d find it slow. My old 350Z that it has replaced was well and truly worn out

Welcome aboard. It does look like a stunner in both looks and history.
Glad I didn't put you off!

The British racing green is a lovely colour, I had a damo coupe r for 6 weeks at the start of lockdown when mine was stuck in the dealers in that colour and it looked fantastic in the sun.
