I have just bought this car as I previously had an X-Type but have liked the look of the XF for a long while now. I looked online for two months to get a good deal. I can only say that I wasn't let down in my purchase. The car was in pristine condition for its age. The cockpit is like being in a fighter jet with everything being illuminated at night. the power of the engine is impressive to say the least, and the manual paddle change is awesome. Although it's not as economical as it could be, I don't care as this is a beautiful refined beast. And, when commuting day to day, it is a very smooth, comfortable luxury car that won't break the bank. I'm extremely happy person with this car.

I am not a Jaguar man. They have a nice design but aren't practical. They have a very small interior specifically for rear passengers and are difficult to get in and out of. The XF has a poor boot with a skull-cracker lock hanging down. There are a lots of niggles on design from my perspective - There's a driver's side blind spot caused by a wide A-pillar, I think this is dangerous as it blocks out a huge area when approaching bends - it can conceal cyclists and motorcycles. The touchscreen ergonomics are poor and the satnav too complicated. My car has needed new window regulators at £260 each, which it shouldn't have needed. The air conditioning failed which cost a lot, too. It is good to drive on long distances and it handles well for a big car apart from bumps and clumps due to low profile tyres, but the headlamps have a very poor main beam - I guess that is better on the later model. My problems with the car may not be the cars problem and I am sure some people love it- I made the wrong decision and would not have another - if you are used to space and flexibility in a car think carefully.

This was my first Jaguar, the cam belt snapped on my previous MG and I wanted a car with character and quality. BMW and other Teutonic marques seemed boring. My Jag is a great car to drive and a diesel too, I'm so pleased with it. It has a high specification, quality fittings and is stylish. My work mates prefer it over the Teutonic marques and you feel the Jaguar name means something. The boot space opening could be bigger and the car would be a great hatch back. I'd like an electric tow bar and police camera detector because you can get carried away with the speed, but this car is a great car. I fancy upgrading next year to a 3.0-litre.

A wonderful car to drive. Economical, reliable and gorgeous looks. You feel a million dollars driving one of these. My car has been 100% reliable and feels solid and stable on the road. The boot is huge and plenty of space for passengers. I'd highly recommend.

One of the most annoying cars I ever owned. The controls were illogically set out, too many rely on touch screen. Electrics and alarm developed several faults. Stitching on leather seats came apart and the faux aluminium finish on some controls started to wear showing the plastic underneath. Heavy on tyres and service from dealer expensive and unsatisfactory.

Read the other 2 solitary reviews here and just had to add mine. No idea how the other two owners came to such a poor view ... for one comparing a 2.2D to the 3.0D is madness and completely irrelevant and inappropriate. I've owned a Jaguar XF 3.0D S model since 2010 now and am on my second vehicle. Both have been 100% reliable. As regards the performance of the 3.0D S model (emphasise the S model as it does have more oomph than the vanilla 3.0D) ... acceleration, overall speed and power delivery throughout are all great ... the car is a complete pleasure to drive. I saw in one of the other reviews someone is comparing the power and acceleration of the newer 2.2D engine to the 3.0D ... of course it's less powerful and slower ... it's meant to be ... doh! The 3.0D and most importantly the 3.0D S are still available ... as always you just have to pay more for the higher spec vehicle. Compare the specs of the XF 3.0D S with all alternative BMW and Mercedes models and you'll find that Jaguar has done some excellent specmanship with this model ... you'll need to pay serious money on an alternative marque to get a better performance package. So much so that after owning my first XF 3.0D S for 5 years I bought another which I've now owned for 18 months. In all I've driven more than 80K miles in my two XF 3.0D S vehicles and had absolutely no problems ... no breakdowns, no component failures, nothing at all ... 100% reliability. Maintenance costs have been fine but I do make the most of any price matching offers and haggle dealership servicing down on price and very often opt for non dealer servicing. I thoroughly recommend the Jaguar XF ... moreover it's British made ...

Having had a few BMW 5 Series I fancied a change as each new model never seemed to change much. I always liked the shape of the XF, so decided to go for a demonstrator 3.0 diesel S with 11k miles on it. Very quick and quiet being six cylinder but being the S with its more sporty suspension, it is very fidgety at low speeds. This improves on motorway runs but still appears to "bounce" with the continuous varying suspension setup up. Averaging 45mpg which is good for size of engine and vehicle as a whole. Main gripes are tyre wear - much worse than any of my BMWs. As soon as the outer edges lose their tread the feeling is noticeable and a bit more lumpy. My biggest gripe is the paintwork. Colour is Midnight. To all intent this looks black but in sunlight it is has a noticeable blue tint to it. No problem there it's just a colour BUT the quality in my opinion is atrocious. It scratches just by looking at it. Almost as though it is merely dirt in the air that can do it. These appear as scuffs of faint white lines, possibly the edge of the lacquer. Every time I finish a journey there are additional marks. I know it's a dark colour and shows marks easier but my dark colour BMW had virtually no scratches after 3.5 years and my environment has not changed. I even had life shine treatment when I bought it. Would I by another XF or any other Jaguar? Probably not based on the paint quality.

This is my second XF, having previously driven Mercedes for many years. I've had no reliability issues with either of my XF's. Dealer service is always polite and pleasant. Jag have fixed the slow-to-react touch screen in this latest model. I love the car - that's why I bought a new one.

My company car for the last 3.5 years. First Jag (bored with the alternatives). Great to drive and very comfortable, if not the most practical. 8 speed auto can be a bit lethargic at low speeds but works beautifully on the move. Still looks great, even with almost 95k miles on the clock. Apart from thermostat replaced at 87k, has been virtually fault free. Indicated avg. 45-46mpg (the truth is probably 2-3mpg less), OK for a heavy, automatic saloon developing 188bhp. Would most definitely have another Jag. Watching development of the upcoming F-Pace with interest...

Worst car I have ever had the misfortune to own, Reliability — I don't think Jaguar have ever heard the word before, cheap plastic engine components will leave you waiting for your friendly recovery man. Intercoolers burst known issue go look in the owners forums... inlet manifold then burst surely these non moving wear free items should last the life of the car and not until it is just out of warranty would I buy again? Not on your life! Why cant I give a zero star rating it doesn't deserve the one I have to give it...

The XF gets you from A to B and hasn't developed any faults that were not present when it was brand new. A telling fact is that when we go on a family trip we don't use the XF. Ride is very harsh, handling is bad primarily due to the rock-hard suspension (the car skips sideways if it hits a minor bump mid corner). Seats cause backache. Tyres supplied as standard are so hard that they have poor grip when its below 20 degrees C. Steering is numb, very little feedback so you can't feel how much grip the tyres have.The 8 speed gearbox gets stuck in high gears causing shuddering when you try to accelerate. The gearbox can't apply power gently - its impossible to pull away on an icy road. If it weren't for how much cash I would lose I would have sold the car. Its also a bit of a pig to park etc - the rearward view is poor (I have the reversing camera). The car does not live up to its marketing hype / press reviews - its way worse to live with than a VW / Skoda etc.

A well made, great to drive and stylish car. Has everything you could need and is built to 'German' standards. The 8 speed grearbox is a joy. Progress is rapid if you want it to be and hushed. There is some diesel rumble and having had the V6 diesel I can say it is not as smooth but still a great engine. Nothing gone wrong in nearly 11 months of ownership and have 3 year warranty and free servicing. Will look at XE when come to change.

The best car I have ever owned. The faults, which pale into insignificance besides the good things, are as follows (roughly in order of importance). The ride is rather harsh and jiggly at low speeds. My car has 20 inch wheels and very low profile tyres, which may contribute to this. At higher speeds the ride is fine. There is a little bit of turbo lag, which takes the edge of things a bit if you want to hustle the car along windy roads at very high speed. Rear visibility is poor, which means you have to be careful when parking. The rear sensors are essential and, for reasons I cannot understand, my car, despite being the highest spec. model has no sensors at the front, which is crazy given that the handsome nose of the car drops away out of sight. I assume Jaguar have fixed this problem on later models. Despite being adjustable in dozens of different ways, the front seats are not the most comfortable I have sat in. The brakes are fine, but not quite as good as some reviewers suggest. Having said all this, and been ultra-critical, the car is just fabulous. Performance is wonderful, with massive power and torque delivered smoothly and almost silently though and excellent gearbox. The handing is wonderful and the steering is pin-sharp. My car has been absolutely reliable over 1 year and 16,000 miles. Nothing whatsoever has gone wrong, apart from an occasional slight creak from the region of the driver's door. Economy (about 38 mpg in mixed driving) is very good for such a large and powerful car. And, of course the car looks simply beautiful. My previous car was an E Class Mercedes with a similar size diesel engine (albeit an older model). The XF is way better on all counts except interior space (surprisingly, this includes reliability - the Merc. cost me a small fortune in repairs). Would I but another XF? Yes.

This was my first Jaguar after having various 5 Series BMWs for the past 20 years. All I can say is it's an absolutely fantastic machine. Well impressed and fantastic value for money. Have covered 12,000 miles of urban driving in 8 months and have had absolutely no problem. Fantastic road handling, much superior to BMW 530 and great fuel consumption.

Bought this car second-hand from Stratstone in Cardiff, and with it being three years old and 30K miles I saved a lot against buying new. I had never owned a Jaguar before and always liked the look of this car. My first test drive was amazing and this car gives me that same feeling every time I hit the start button when the vents open and the 275bhp engine roars into life. The spec on this car is incredible, although I would say that the one thing I couldn't do without is the rear parking camera and parking sensors which I am sure have saved me countless dinks when parking my car. I have not experienced any issues at all with this car, having covered about 9K on a variety of differing road types. Jaguar also offer fixed price servicing so, unlike similar cars, was very reasonable. This car just eats up the miles with ease. I am averaging about 36mpg, which although less than what was expected, although I suspect this is probably down to me enjoying the power a bit too much. It is far better than my RX300 where I was only getting 19mpg. Boot Space is also generous, enabling me to get a couple of large golf bags, trolleys and luggage for a few days away and being able to lower the back seats means not having to cram everything into the boot. When paying 20K+ for a car you have a lot of choice. In this car I believe I have made an excellent choice and one that will last for some time to come.

Having owned an X-Type and driven several S-Types, the XF was on my radar for some time. Having had problems with diesels in the past (DPFs, EGRs, etc), I decided to go for the 3.0 N/A petrol engine which was difficult to find as 95% of XFs are diesels. Boy, am I glad I did! On paper, it's nothing special but the figures can't tell you everything. It sounds fantastic, really shifts (without any of the lift-off delay you get in the diesels) and is returning an average 32mpg. It's incredibly refined with a lovely throaty roar towards the red line. Being a petrol, it's a much simpler (read: less expensive to maintain) engine than the diesels too. Mine is a Premium Luxury and comes with heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, the Bowers & Wilkins sound system, rear reverse camera, automatic headlights and wipers and all the other XF niceties. The Bowers & Wilkins sound system is phenomenal. If you like your music, that alone will separate the XF from the competition. I had a BMW 530d prior to this with the Logic 7 sound system and it wasn't a patch on this. 14 speakers, 2 subs and a great DSP and amp. Everything else is usual XF and works brilliantly. It's riding on 19" wheels, which I was initially concerned about after several BMWs, but the ride is something else. It's firm and controlled but unbelievably compliant and absorbent – something that I think only Jaguar can pull off. The steering is light (Jags are) but has plenty of natural weighting and feedback, the road and wind noise is minimal to non-existent and the general cabin oozes luxury and build quality. So here's my recommendation: get a Premium Luxury or Portfolio and get a petrol. I know several people who've had issues with their diesel XFs but everyone I know with a petrol has had 100% reliability.

Only had this XF for a few days and am already very happy. Dealership advice and support was excellent. The car drives superbly and is very comfortable although the 19 inch wheels are not quite as smooth on the road as the smaller versions experienced during some test drives. Steering, brakes, gear changes, acceleration... all very smooth an positive. Overall an excellent buy - highly recommended.

Car is great to drive rides better than 5 Series BMW but reliability and after sales service terrible. Service cost £360 for 12 months motoring 7,500 miles, parking sensors not covered under warranty seem to be wired wrong way round. Heated front windscreen not working on passengers side replaced under warranty by Jaguar specified installers. Windscreen now badly leaking into cabin and behind dash of car ,computer screen not working all carpets in front passengers side swimming in water. Jaguar dealer Parks of Ayr very poor customer service. What happens to problems that may occur in the future due to this problem will Jaguar cover them as a warranty item?

The XF is a brilliant car to own and drive. The car above, 2011, has been sold after 3 years. The next one, exactly the same, except for the colour, is due in two weeks. I am writing this to mention the rear headroom. Since the XF first appeared, car journalists have repeated, ad infinitum, the lack of rear headroom. Well in three years ownership no one complained. Then again, I do not believe anyone over 6' 3" used it. I do not know the bum to roof distance in an E Class or 5 Series but I did see a layout of the XF which showed the difference between the bum to roof height from front to rear to be exactly 1 cm.. So, please explain why you all think the front has enough height but the sloping roof line causes immense and memorable problems.

Superb car, so much more exclusive that the usual German rivals as every fifth car seems to be either a BMW 3 Series or an Audi A4. It stalks around town ignoring the challenges from spotty youths in their turbo charged aquarium pump powered boxes, and cruises effortlessly on the M-Ways. I considered the 2.2d but it couldn't hide its agricultural engine, and anyway I still get 45+mpg from the silky V6 without having to hog the inside lane on cruise control at 56mph. The only downsides are the front seats lacking thigh support and the slightly reserved interior. When the next facelift arrives I would like to see the instrument pod redesigned to incorporate oil pressure and engine temp gauges and also widened to incorporate the main info screen, which sits a little low for my liking, and then form a centre console that is swept down between the front seats to give the minor control buttons more angle. I find the slab of controls below the screen slightly fiddly to use when driving.

Two colleagues and I both got company XFs (two 3.0D and one 2.2D) at the same time about 8 months ago. Both 3.0Ds have driven just over 30,000 miles, the 2.2D about 20,000 miles. Mine has been to the garage twice in that time, the first when an engine hose split, the second when the engine just turned off whilst overtaking at 70mph resulting in loss of power steering and servo'd brakes - an interesting experience!. My colleague with the 3.0D has had to have new brake pads & discs all round. The 2.2D has been off the road for several days at a time due to indicators that seemingly wouldn't turn off and a dealer that can't fix it. I've had BMWs for the previous 6 years and in comparison reliability of XFs is a significant issue. Tyres last around 30,000 miles - not bad of a car of this weight and power. The car drives well and is more nimble that its size would lead you to expect, it holds the road well and acceleration and braking are good. On a trip I can easily get 45mpg on a motorway but around town it's more like 30mpg. Some of the electronics such as the stereo and the sat nav are very slow to react, you push the buttons and then after about a second they act - it's as though they act through a solenoid, but they clearly don't. The sat nav and phone is also quite fiddly by comparison with the BMW i-drive. I suspect it's time that Jaguar refreshed/upgraded them. The general comfort is excellent and the overall shape is still a thing of beauty, but ultimately you buy a car to drive and unreliability is the killer to that. I only got the XF because i was getting bored with BMWs, that's a lesson I won't repeat. I wish I could recommend the XF but unfortunately I can't. When all 3 XF's experience reliability problems in such a short time since new that has to be a concern - and it should be to Jaguar as well.

Overall a great car. I've had it for nearly 18 months and have no problems at all. It's surprising smooth and quick and the gearbox is a joy, other than going into corners or roundabouts quickly where it gets confused about what gear to choose on exit. Maybe Sport mode would be better for that. Economy is brilliant. I do a 33 mile commute each day on a mixture of dual carriageway and A roads and it's returning close to 50mpg. It's comfortable and eats the miles on long journeys. Bugbears are few but the main console screen could respond quicker and when using iPod it takes ages to go back through the menus. Also, rear legroom is poor and I don't have my seat back very far. Other than that, I've no complaints and it's more desirable than the German equivalents which are all a bit samey.
