Trip the light fantastic: We still love the Jag's interior lighting - even if the shorter evenings mean we can't see it as much.

AS I WRITE, it seems that summer has arrived - and I can't say I'm sorry. The only good thing about winter, as far as I'm concerned, is Christmas. The rest - short days, horizontal rain, pavements strewn with sodden leaves and having to dress like Scott of the Antarctic just to go to the shops - you can keep. As an XF owner, there is one thing I miss about winter, though, and that's commuting in the dark. The XF's cabin is a wonderful place to be at any time, but it's really special when darkness falls and it's bathed in mood lighting in a shade of blue usually seen only in a Seychelles holiday ad. It's like being in a cocktail bar, especially if you have the right background music playing through the brilliant Bowers & Wilkins speakers.
