2012 E350 4matic wagon / 2009 Jaguar XF supercharged

Greetings from Florida

Hi - Purchased my 2012 E350 wagon a few days before Christmas. Traded my beloved 2010 Volvo V70 R-design wagon for it. The E350 has the sport option and is steel grey with the natural tan and black leather interior. It was a certified Preowned with just under 30k miles.

Welcome to MBworld. I'm surprised you traded in your V70R. Not to say the w212 wagon isn't a great vehicle, but from all I've gathered from wagon lovers, V70R owners are typically fanatic V70R owners.

Perhaps if it had been a true R with a powerful engine vs appearance only like the R-design. I am a fan of wagons and the e350 will be the seventh wagon I've owned but I will admit the V70 was a wagon I would always turn and look back at when walking away from it. But I was ready for a change and for a vehicle with a few more creature comforts so hopefully this will fit the bill! Look forward to garnering much info and feedback on the forum.

Very nice... congrats! You don't see too many wagons in FL (save for dubbed Dodge Magnums). I never realized it was a northern thing til' I moved down here from PA.
