Jaguar XF is a Winner in Abingdon

We caught up with chauffeuring business owner, Philip Stader of Abingdon, to see how he’s getting on with his most recent purchase of two Jaguar XF cars.

Philip set up his company, AcademyLine Corporate Ltd, twelve years ago after he spotted a gap in the market for a high-end personal transport service covering the corporate sector.

Philip said: “I felt that the M4/M40 corridor was missing a service that could cover corporate ground transport and I wanted to fill that gap. I came up with a business model that included an extremely high level of customer service yet remaining very personal at the same time. I knew it would work well in our area. The next step was finding the right vehicles at the right price.”

“We knew the XF would fit in neatly with the fleet.”

Executive Travel

Philip prides his business on the exclusive and professional service that’s provided to his customers and having a fleet of elite vehicles is a must.

Philip said: “We operate ten cars ranging from Volkswagen Sharan MPV’s to high-class Jaguar XF’s.

“Before opting for the XF we’d been running the Jaguar XJL’s which impressed the drivers and passengers alike so there wasn’t a lot of deliberation when it was time to renew. We knew the XF would fit in neatly with the fleet.”

High-spec, Powerful and Efficient

Whether you opt for manual or auto transmission, all XF models are equipped with a mighty 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine making motorway driving a breeze. The sporty saloon masks its size well resulting in excellent handling, perfect for city driving.

Don’t be fooled into thinking the powerful engine will depress the efficiency of the vehicle. The manual 163 bhp engine returns an impressive 70.6mpg on the combined cycle whilst CO2 emissions stay as low as 102 g/km. This in turn keeps the running costs of your vehicle to a minimum as 12 months road tax will only set you back £20!

Philip commented: “Another attraction to the Jaguar is the fact that the new engine is extremely fuel efficient with very low emissions. This keeps the running costs at a sensible level which is imperative for any business.”

“The well thought out interior is fantastic and provides excellent comfort for both the driver and passengers.”

Opt for the Prestige model, as Philip did, and we guarantee you’ll be impressed by the superior standard specification. 17” alloy wheels, leather seats throughout, reverse parking camera, satellite navigation and heated front seats are just a few of the lavish features that you can expect.

Philip continued: “The new model XF is great and comes with very good levels of equipment as standard. The well thought out interior is fantastic and provides excellent comfort for both the driver and passengers. It’s also extremely pleasing to the eye and has a great presence on the road.”

Customer Feedback

Philip notes that teamwork, faithful customers and his prestigious fleet of cars has allowed his business to flourish over the years.

He commented: “With the help of a fantastic group of employees and very loyal customers we’ve built on the original concept over the years and become a very personal company which is dedicated to providing the best service possible.”

Commenting on feedback he’s received about the XF, Philip said:“So far, both the driver and customer comments have been brilliant regarding the comfort, luxury feel of the interior, the smooth ride and low noise levels.

“Over the years we’ve run fleets of Jaguar, Mercedes and BMW but the firm opinion of our drivers is that the Jaguar win hands down. I recommend it to anyone looking for a high-class, professional vehicle.”

“…Jaguar win hands down. I recommend it to anyone looking for a high-class, professional vehicle.”

The Cab Direct Experience

Philip continued: “I also highly recommend Cab Direct. Being honest, my main reason for deciding to purchase the new vehicles through Cab Direct was their extremely competitive pricing.

“However, they were a joy to deal with and the service was very efficient. Iain who dealt with the purchase was highly professional and made the whole process seamless from start to finish.”
