I've not owned one, but have been in several. A good friend of mine was involved in the development of the XFR and XFR-S.
As a car, they're very nicely put together and feel solid and planted. They sound great and do go like stink. Put it this way, I had both E39 and E60 M5, and the XFR is easily a match performance wise.
I think they make a great proposition. Running costs will still be high, think high teens mpg, but they do offer a proper alternative to the BMW especially if you need more doors etc.
