Welcome....

Having had 3 Jags and more Volvo's than I have fingers to count I've always thought that more than any other manufacturer, Volvo shares more of Jaguars' values than any other, namely:

- Supremely comfortable seats
- Softer, more comfortable suspension than German rivals (if this is important avoid R-Design models)
- Superior cabin ergonomics designed around you rather than efficient function

An additionally they are both cars that you like because of character rather than specification.

So yes coming from an XJ - I think you will like the S80 - certainly much more than a E-Class or 5-Series.

The 4C chassis is worth having though I suspect you will probably leave it in comfort all the time which I think is the closest setting to the standard 07 onwards car...
