- Seat belts make a noise when engaged driving over uneven roads
- Some of the internal fit & finish
- Rear parcel shelf should have been retractable blind giving you the convenience of the full boot capacity without having to take the whole self out
- Reversing camera is utter pony for a car made in 2013/14 - woefully bad compared to the Germans.

All made inconsequential by the V8, the exhaust, and the driving experience.

Just thought of something else. Although it's not a dislike. It's not a car that blends in easily which you can park up unnoticed. Sticks out like a sore thumb, particularly in red. Not great at multistorey car parks either. But this is good for fitness, which has been pointed out to many a new owner on here, as it means long walks from the far flung reaches of the empty distant parts of car parks.

For example, pulled up at a car event recently and the parking marshall asked if we were with the Ferrari owners club! Well it is red and could look a similar to a California I suppose! (Maybe I should've said yes. Hoho).

Or do you mean "squeaky bum" after the car's rear end slides out?! :lol:

My seats don't squeak. I have the new style performance ones.

I'm not sure I like the automatic high & dip beam on the headlights I cant get used to that I'm going to have a look through the manual and see if I can switch that facility off as I find it bloody anoying ..lol but tbh that's the only thing I dont like about the jaguar it's such a beautiful and pretty brisk car

Definitely worth having for me, I use mine every week now the sun is low in the sky in the early evening. Only snag is you can't angle them out over the side window.

Backlight on the rev counter & speedo is very dim. Playing with the switch makes no difference. Wonder if I have a bulb out or duff switch

Incontrol very occasionally refusing to work properly.
