@@apmdavies buy one...you can always sell it. I've always wanted a sports car..but kids..not having great paid jobs etc..never ever had one. Finally I thought sod it..I bought (2006) Audi TT. Mark 1...the original classic shape. Great condition. Very low mileage only 28,000 miles . I know it's not a awesome Corvette Stingray..my favourite car or a Ferrari etc. but to be honest I dont have a garage..( and the money) it's a great car..still looks the best car in the car park . So go out and get yourself a jag. You only live once.
I'm 73 and have always wanted a JAG.Trouble is I have a Honda CRV ,which is no fun to drive, but amazingly reliable.My worry is that if I get a Jag and it proves unreliable,I'll feel very stupid and will never forgive myself.If it does go wrong you could be facing a large bill,which I don't need.The only ones I could afford would have at least 50,000 on the clock. Any advise ?
The reason I love jags, is that NO ONE makes car interiors as beautiful, as comfortable, as special as the Brits. It's just a joy to spend any amount of time in. Even the chimes that come on when your door is ajar is pleasant. Much love from Texas
High Peak Autos I am looking at a 2010 XF vin# SAJWA0FA2AHR57810 I can’t decide whether to buy it or get a new Honda Accord. I heard the maintenance on the XF is expensive and the transmissions go out. Is this true?
@Manuel Santos I have a Toyota Aurion. A decade old and NEVER missed a beat like Toyotas generally. Best made car in the world I love Jaguars, I wish I could own one in the confidence it would be reliable, but they are a money pit after the warranty period runs out, and they have a history of failure. Less so these days, but problems still exist. The entire British motor industry was ruined by bad management and governments who didn't care. Rover a prime example ruclips.net/video/gBI0iClF0E4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/OV-9dVb7keM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xnWKz7Cthkk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/vNcs0dcjyB8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/dDiHuA9EkuI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/p5QUHh__lvk/видео.html
I drove the non-supercharged V8 at the press-launch back in 2008 in Monaco, and I instantly fell in love with the XF. They also had the diesel at the event which I found serviceable (if unremarkable), but the V8 is what you truly want in a car like this. Even back then, and after getting indoctrinated by the Jaguar PR guys, it didn't feel as refined or even stylish as a BMW 5 series, but it had so much character. And you just don't see them on the road as often as a BMW, Merc or Audi. At least not over here in Germany. In that way, Jags are a lot like Alfa Romeos - nothing truly special underneath the skin, a bit last year when it comes to things like infotainment or drivetrains and with dubious long-term reliability. But both brands can still be very charming for someone who doesn't want the sensible/obvious choice from Stuttgart or Munich. What I really loved about the car (and it's kinda hard to convey the feeling after 13 years) was the relative boldness of the design, going from the S-Type to the XF. It really felt like they had finally moved away from the "ye olde motorcar"-look and -feel that previous Jags had gotten by on. But to do that, they didn't ditch any of the classic elements like wood or leather - they just re-interpreted them in a more modern and less stuffy way. I'd buy one today if I had the need.
I've had two x-types (2007 and 2009) and have a 3 litre diesel XF automatic (2009). Lovely card to drive, especially the XF, which has plenty of whoosh and beautifully refined. Minor issues about warning light for washer fluid and bonnet catch. Otherwise great! Recommended. You can pick up a 2009 for less than £6k in great condition.
I bought the Portfolio 3.0 V6 model about six months ago. I'd recommend one to anyone, fantastic car. Like Matt keeps saying, always buy a looked after model. I DIDN'T and it's cost me to sort it out, but it's still well worth it and I'm glad I stuck with it. I hope I can keep it for years. Great vids, keep them coming please.
@@user-sd3ry6sd2t I Paid 7K for the car which was way too much. I had to replace the infotainment screen £800, Nearside front and back alloys had been cracked and poorly repaired so the tyres kept loosing pressure, had to buy two wheels off ebay and was lucky to get them for £90 each. there were lots of other electrical issues with the car due to a corroded fuse box which luckily my mechanic managed to repair. a new one would have been very expensive. I had spent about 3k on repairs and re-newals so on top of the purchace price, I could have bought a newer, better looked after model. I traded it in against another Jag XJ which I have had for about four months with no issues at all. I would NEVER buy from a private individual again. I will always buy from a reputable dealer, even if it costs a little more.
You actually helped me making an informed decision to buy my first Jag yesterday 🙈 so thank you. Bought a fully loaded 2015 XFS 3.0 Diesel Portfolio with only 36k on the clock. I’ve had a BMW 3 series in the past and also owned/driven Mercedes C, E & S class prior to this. Yes, the German quality and driving experience is there but that all changed after I drove this beautiful car. I have to say they’re actually so underrated in driving and luxury experience. My latest car has been a C class and after driving this Jag the Merc feels like an old man’s car to be honest. The handling is smooth, agile and extremely nimble for this tank of a car and the power will blow your mind away. I drove my mate’s 5 series recently and loved it. But this XFS certainly seemed on a slightly better edge for me. I’m just so lucky to find an extremely well looked after piece by its previous owner with FSH from main Jaguar dealer. Just can’t wait to collect it in couple of days so really excited to enjoy this piece of art. Keep doing the good work mate and hope to see more informative/entertaining reviews from you 👍🏼!
@@Doyouevenliftjpg I’ll keep it real and simple! The best car I’ve ever driven to date after owning BMW & MERC. Get a good one since lot of people get a dirty lemon and then complain. I’m very happy with it do far.
@@CRYPTIIIK Did you get portfolio? Not really heard anyone have a bad word to say about them so far so glad you're enjoying. I'm aiming for 2018, less than 40k miles and FSH when I get mine!
@@Doyouevenliftjpg yes ..2015 Portfolio..only thing missing is a heated steering wheel..but not too bothered about that. Just take care of it on time and it’ll look after you.
I have owned a 2014 XF Sportbrake 3.0D S Portfolio in Ultimate Black with the black pack for a year now, and it is the best car i have ever purchased, especially paying less than £20k for a car that was nearly £60K new in this guise. The comfort, ride and looks are second to none in the exec m-way cruiser class with great performance when you need it too. I've returned to my car to find people taking photos of it and get lots of compliments. Buy one, you won't regret it.
Have you been able to determine maintenance costs on these cars. Are they average compared to like Audi's, as I'm an Audi owner, or less or more expensive to maintain?
I have a 2012 XF Supercharged V8 Portfolio edition. I love the car at 6 years old I had to replace the battery. Other than that zero issues. Prior to my XF I had. 2003 S Type. Drove it 13 years to 156k well loved miles. Again zero issues, it was one of the best car's I've ever owned. 4.2 V8. So with the experience I had with my S Type I had no concerns about the purchase of my XF. Ya gotta love a Jaaaaaaag!
Brian Keith Null I love Jaaaaaggs. Always have. I’ve had several and never had any hideous issues that would put me off buying one. I filmed with a 5.0 XKR at the weekend which will be live soon 😉
Brian Keith Null I bought a 2012 XF Supercharged about 7 months ago. Found one with 36000 miles on it. searched for four years for that car. Like you I had to replace the battery. The only other problem with the car is the interior lights. They keep coming on while I'm driving. Found this to be a common problem with the car. I think it had to do with the motion detector sensors. Other than that I love this car.
@@lonstjohn2616 great Buy and super low miles congrats. I had a 2011 XF 5.0, initially I had that issue with the lights but all I did was use a screwdriver and pry the touch motion sensor lights down and I cleaned it out inside, there could be bugs in there or dirt that are causing them to go on and off super easy fix
I owned a 10 plate XF 3.0 v6 for a year, was a great car , fast, luxurious , drives well. Loved it. The twin turbo really kicks, 0-60 is brilliant for this size of car.
Great review...I live in Canada and just picked up a 2011 Xf premium in like new condition ..with the v8... Car was owned by an older lady and only has 55000 miles.....it is powerful and dream to drive....never owned a jag before but I am super impressed with the style comfort power and look of the car.....I hope it is going to be reliable...if it is it will be the best car I have ever owned and I have had about 25 in my life so far....cheers bloke!
Just bought my first Jaguar (XF) portfolio 2.2 2015. I love it! Last 2 cars have been BMW and Mercedes and don't think there is too much between the cars with regards to quality and spec. I have to say that for me, the Jag is the one that puts a smile on my face, the feel good factor is second to none. It seems to be a sensible car about town and when you want, it can be a bit of a hoodlum too!
@@user-sd3ry6sd2t I would say that the Jag gave me a very small electrical issue but was quite expensive to fix, but, was worth every penny in order to drive such a brilliant car. The Mercedes had an issue with Ad-blu sensors which was fixed under warranty and my current BMW 5 series has had no issues what so ever. I still miss my Jag though!
I’m on my 2nd X-Type 2.2, I had my first one when I was 20 and loved it but after a few years I replaced it with the final edition of the x-type sovereign with the mesh chrome grill and jag badge in the centre and it still gives me a smile to drive it. I agree the early ones were a bit poorly built and cheap inside but after 2005 they got a revamp which was a big improvement. Both have been very reliable and I’m definitely staying with jaguar for my next car probably an XF. I love jags for the very reason they are not BMWs or Mercs. Nothing against the German rivals (great cars) but there is a definite magic about a jag which you simply can’t find any where else.
In the US, never been inside a Jaguar, but they have always been my favorite car brand just because all the absolutely beautiful automobiles Jaguar has made over their history. The few people I have met driving a Jag here in West Virginia where our nearest dealer is 2 hours away, Love their beautiful cars! Great video, typically well done as Britts seem to always do!
I'm 25 now and I've had mine for over a year now,exactly the same 3L v6. Bought it at 43k miles in white. I was deciding between this and an S3.. best decision car wise I've ever made
Mac Em I’m going to get one In a couple of days Is it reliable? What should I watch out for to keep it from breaking down and keep it for many more miles
When I was 24, I was looking at Ford Scorpio, all the luxury for a reasonable second hand price. I found out the price of the insurance. It was fairly expensive. So I thought I'd find out the price of insurance for an MR2 T bar. It wasn't much more, so I bought the MR2! That was 1994, when the MR2 was 3 years old, and I still have it. :-)
Thanks for your excellent review. Due to watching this I bought a 2012 XF 3.0 V6 diesel premium luxury. Amazing motor car, incredible value under £9k full-service history. mileage 66 thousand. Beautiful motor car, thanks again.
MPG is pretty good. Average 27MPG around town and 40+ on a run. Parts are expensive from the main dealer, but you can find them cheaper if you look around on the internet
Love your honest reviews, I bought the 3 litre diesel xf after watching that one you did ,will keep up with you for my next car ,keep up with the great work Matt
I currently drive an XE which was a leap of faith as it is my first "British" car in 30 plus years. It's ok but I now know I should have gone with the XF and will be doing so in the next week or so. Thanks for the video.
@@vishwasgowda1390 It held up very well, albeit I did have a not unexpected problem with the EGR valve. Other than that, it was a joy to drive and own. I sold the car back in June, but I would have no hesitation recommending the car or indeed buying another. Now replaced with a Lexus which is a different kettle of fish, and again I am very happy with my choice.
@@dontuno The EGR valve issue is rather easy and inexpensive to fix. I've had my XF for three years now and it's been fairly reliable. Only EGR valve cleaning and parking sensor replacement.
Jaguars have always been absolutely great cars and exemplified a premium marque. All premium cars require comprehensive maintenance, you hear people complaining about reliability issues but 9 times out of 10 the issues arising would’ve been avoided if the owner had serviced the car regularly and rectified any small problems occurring as they happened and not left them to turn into bigger problems. The XJ series was an amazing car range - The enthusiasts still revere the E-type and it had its own niche in the market. A work colleague swears by his 3 litre X type jag and has had it for many years and it is still incredibly comfy and luxurious and smooth car. Good video as usual Matt.
I'm 35 and I own a 2005 s-type 3.0 v6, and a 2010 jaguar xf 5.0 v8, I love both of them and have had minimal problems with both cars. once a jag guy always a jag guy.
Its true, I got one, its great no negatives at all. I'm aged 71 paid £12K for 2013 in 2019, low mileage 38k fsh, beige interior, 2.2ltr D auto. Mine does not have the eyebrow bonnet, has a Ford engine & not aluminium, they changed in 2015 & everyone seems to prefer this model to that. I just love it, its a real pleasure to drive and that's all I use for.... pleasure! (I did buy a snarling jag button cap with the red background for the rotary gear selector .. makes me feel good too)
I have owned a 2012 Jag 3.OD since new.It has proved to be a wonderful car.Completely reliable and economical ,the opposite of the reputed money pit.But I learned the hard way the DPF will fill up with only about 200 kms of unbroken city driving.You simply must get out on the freeway for an hour or two very frequently.Now I use it only for extended touring,and what a comfortable GT it is!
Did you try any additives to keep the DPF problem at bay Ive a or should say until tonight when it’s been attacked by some giant pick up in the rear mk4 Mondeo with 321k miles And the biggest problems always been the DPF, but it is actually still on the original DPF. I find the additives can sort out problems fairly quickly.
Im 25 and a Jag legit fell in my lap last summer for a bargain price.. It would have been rude not to and subsequently I've been in complete infactuation with the brand ever since. Thats me sold.
Hi, just wanna say thank you for this great review. It was a deal breaker for me. I bought a 2014 facelift XFS 3.0 diesel, a few weeks ago and it is absolutely amazing to drive. And it sticks out in every way possible. Was about to buy a mk2 xf but realized this model looks and feels better. The seats are insanely comfortable. Got 330bhp and 720nm of torque. Overtaking feels safe every time. Low fuel consumption as well. I guess I just wanna say I love this car in every way. Thank you from Sweden :) 🤘
@@Emtbwebb , it still runs great. Was a bit nervous about rear wheel drive during winter, but it handles really well. I still think it’s a beautiful car. I can seriously say I love it 🤟
I bought a 2010 Jag XF petrol when I lived in Atlanta - 2011/13. Never had a problem. It was superb. And when I lived in the UK 2006/07 I had a 2004 Jag XJ....never had a problem. That has been my Jag experience and I reckon I will be buying another one this year here in Melbourne, Australia
I know this video is from 4 years ago, but I am looking to buy one now and you pushed me over the edge and tomorrow I'll close the deal, despite the high road tax here in Ireland for this model (3.0L engine Petrol). I couldn't find a decent diesel one so petrol it is. Thanks
Bought a 2011 premium in 2017. Had 52,000 miles. Had a few minor electrical issues with the windows. All the repairs were covered under my extended warranty however, this car is a mechanical beast. Sporty and luxury....powerful! I took mine to the dealership for annual maintenance and they gave me a 2017 XF as a courtesy to drive until mine was ready. I tell you...i think they were trying to sell me an upgrade...lol but, the 2017 performance was soooo subpar to my 2011. I would not have believed it had I not driven it and experienced it for myself. Also drove the F PACE SUV...same thing. I could not believe the lacking performance. The only Jag that had great performance compared to the XF was the XJ.
I have been driving this model in this colour for two years, I love it. It looks like it is worth a lot more that the book value. Nice video - thank you!
Based on your review I happened on a 2014 Portfolio model with 20k miles which I traded for a C class Merc and I am Delighted with it. It is so quiet and comfy and goes like h-ll when you need it, it just makes you smile, it is so effortless. Thank you!,
Love Jags! They just stand out in a crowd! My 20 yr old son has a 06 X type I have a 09 XF V8 supercharged and just bought my wife a 2016 XF 35t AWD supercharged. They look beautiful and perform as good as they look. They turn a lot of heads! They are worth every penny. Drive one and find out..... The jag family
Nice looking Jag. Nice review of the car. I have also always wanted a Jag. I'm 58. My Dad loves the brand (he's 88). But he is a Presbyterian pastor who also owns his own company. So even with the means, he long ago realized how that would look to his congregation. Consequently, he drives a Toyota mini van. But I have nothing holding me back and really want the very Jag you've shown us on this video. I've owned two BMWs, several Volvos, and in my youth, four VWs. But the Jag is something special. Thanks for the video.
Originally had 2 X-Types. Replaced the one in 2016, with a 2015 XF Luxury Portfolio (V6 Supercharged) in metallic British Racing Green. Absolutely LOVE this car! Got a great deal from the dealership, as it was their service loaner with low km's and no need to say how it was maintained. A pleasure to drive and handles like a dream. Heated windscreen is great to have, as we get some cold winters here in British Columbia. Loved this car so much, we replaced the other X-Type last year with a second XF (albeit a 2013) Luxury (V6 Supercharged with a sport package) in Carnelian Metallic Red, one owner, bought from our dealership and maintained there as well, with low km's. Too good a deal to pass up! So far, zero issues with either. Love how you can go from one car to the other and know exactly how it's going to drive. Would recommend this car to anyone!
We're a family of jag owners we have an e type series 2 fully restored I had 2 stype 4.0v8 4.2v8 recently bought a 3.0d s portfolio excellent great performance with economy too!!
Thanks very much for the objective and down to earth "reportage" - ! - Being into my second XF 3,0D, now - Both, leased from new - the second one (2013), I bought when the three-year leasing contract went out - and now, six years old, with about 88ooo km, it still runs like a kitten. No troubles, no brake-downs - NEVER had any problems with any of the two - Service once a year, no nonsense and utterly reasonable to own. Besotting great looks - fast (250 km/h top-out on the Autobahn, without any drama, totally stable and safe) - extremely easy-driving - puts a smile on my face every time - love it!! Can recommend it without any hesitation!!
@@HighPeakAutos - a great pleasure indeed - I really appreciate your honesty and objectivity - and at the same time it is wonderful to realize that you can't deny a true enthusiasm for the car...!! :-))))) - Welcome to the club!!
I have an elderly customer who has had 17 Jaguars and won't have anything else. He is a retired engineer. He currently has an XF diesel but when he showed me photos of the cars he has owned..including XK150 and E Type...well the photos were wonderful.
Great video review as always. You are honest and thorough. I have a silver Jaguar XF 2.7 luxury, twin turbo on a 2009. Light grey leather interior. It’s immaculate inside and out and at 82k. Paid £7k a year ago. It’s my first Jag and I love it, especially after coming from a Ford Focus CC. Maybe I’ll get the higher spec and 3.0 litre engine in the future but for now I’m really happy with this one. Crazy to think this was a 30k - 40k car when brand new. Great bargain 😉
Currently had a S Type for two years. Yep, I'm a 70 Yr old fart with a Jag but if I had the money 50 years ago I've have had a Jag then too!! Love 'em and always will. Ticked a bucket list off with my S Type. XF next. Definitely!
That’s a good honest review, I’m up for a car change from my Audi A6 which I’ve had and enjoyed for 5 years with no issues. I want the same reliability with more refinement, perhaps XF is the way to go
I would like to say a massive thank you to you my friend. Last month I had major surgery at Manchester Royal Infirmary to treat pancreatic cancer. Whilst I was in recovery I spent many hours watching your fantastic informative humorous videos,especially this one. Since I was a child I had always dreamt of owning a Jaguar with my dream being ignited even more after the introduction of the XF. I fell in love with the styling and I agree with you that the older models still feels extremely modern. Back in 2012 I had kidney cancer, now the pancreatic cancer, so whilst watching your video I thought to myself when I leave hospital and before my chemotherapy begins I am going to buy a XF. Today I purchased a 2012 3.0 litre premium luxury XF in white, I cannot stop smiling I feel the luckiest man alive, I have been driving the same Clio for 16 years! Today my dream come true I own a beautiful Jaguar. Thank you my friend for helping me whilst I was in recovery and thank you because of you I set my goal on making my dream come true and today that happened
Knight Gary Wow! Thank you for your comments. I’m glad you’ve treated yourself to your dream car. It certainly sounds like you’ve been through a rough time, I hope you’re over that now. Best of luck in your recovery. Thanks for watching and enjoy your lovely XF 👍🏻
Much respect to you man! I sincerely hope you're going to recover soon!! And enjoy your XF!! Jaguars have a positively different feeling!! You gotta love it 😁
Just got my own version of this in blue yesterday, 3L premium 2009 for just under 7k. Lovely to drive and so many extras it will take me forever to find out what everything does! Cracking review, cheers 👍
Mine went at the same milage on the same .model car as yours. Jaguar fleeced me and charged 900 pounds to replace it. Despite the fact I had diagnosed this simple problem. That charged 260 quid to diagnose the problem even though I specifically asked for the alternator to be changed. . Since then the inlet manifold has cracked so i cut my losses at that point. A plastic manifold on a twin turbo performance car ? What were they thinking. Reliable cars ? 28th out of 31 cars tested according to Which? Magazine.
After two consecutive XJs I went with a Lexus GS, this video makes me sort of wish that I went with the XF instead. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. BTW, the Meridian Soundsystem in the XF is the best I've ever heard.
I’ve just started working away from home again and the 300 mile journey has become unbearable in my Audi A6. So last trip home on put a deposit on my first Jaguar, XF 3 litre V6 2013 plate. Wasn’t sure I had made the right choice until I watched this. Thanks bro, mind at rest, can’t wait to get home and pick it up.
We are entitled to our own opinions. I bought a S-type in 2005. I drove the car for 10 years. I sold the car in 2015 with 195650 kilometers. I must say, the car was comfortable. I am looking for another S-type or XF.
Only problem about the diesels, if you do alot of short journeys you will keep getting DPF Full, ended up by selling the diesel and going for the XFR petrol version.
Imran Bari That’s the trouble with diesels isn’t it. I’ve had DPF issues on lots of different cars. You bought an XFR? I bet that’s awesome. That’s what I would have done too 😉
Because i was only doing 12 miles a day, no moterway trips, the dpf would come on weekly when sitting in traffic. I had to take it on the moterway every week in order to clear it. I ended up just wasting time and fuel just clearing it on a weekly basis.
@@HighPeakAutos Perhaps if more people actually UNDERSTOOD about driving and HOW TO DRIVE PROPERLY they wouldn't have DPF problems. The VAST MAJORITY of people LABOUR their engines ie they are in too higher gear. My sister had a continual problem with the dpf warning light until I told her to only use the first THREE gears when driving AROUND TOWN- result ? Now she hasn't had the dpf warning light come on a single time since she took my advice !! Don't ya' just hate smart arses ???
I went from a 2017 Lexus ES 350 to a 2017 Jag-u-ar XF R SPORT 35t RWD. I enjoyed my Lexus, but I love my Jag! It's a beast of a car and definitely a head turner!
Love the review I have the 3.0 After owning mini 1.0 Escort 1.6 Rover 213 (1.3 ) Citroen Visa GTI 1.6 Saab 900 2.0 Saab 93 2.0 Saab 95 2.3 Saab 95 3.0 Jaguar 3.0 XF 😎 It’s a lovely car
I was very fortunate to have a 2010 XF 3.0d as a company car. I absolutely loved it, it was the base model and the only option was metallic black paint. It was right on the limit of my budget but never regretted it for a second. The rotating air vents on startup add to the sense of occasion on every trip and the minimalist interior was years ahead of the game. Two Polish lads in a van stopped one Saturday morning when I had just finished giving "Vladimir" (looked like the sort of car a Russian gangster might drive) a wash and they thought it was a "supercar" and estimated it cost more than 100k Euro! It was without doubt my favourite car of the many I have owned - I just hope JLR manage to get their act together and bring out an EV version.
l bought my XF 2.7 turbo diesel when it was two years old , had it for 9 years , it was the best car i ever owned , i am a petrol head ive had so many cars over the years this jag never let me down and it had 278thousand klms on the clock , I would defo buy another
I had a 2009 XF 3.0 Prem Lux and loved it. Only concerns were the appalling headlights - I had to get out and check they were actually on more than once, and the dreaded DPF. I had a short commute to work and found the DPF needing to regenerate every couple of weeks and caught me out needing an otherwise unnecessary oil change a couple of times. If you're looking to buy one make sure it has the Xenon headlights - Portfolio does, I think. That and a good history.
I too had a XFS V8 supercharged Portfolio and it has to be one of the best cars ever owned, never put a foot wrong in 4 years. Black with Ivory leather Fantastic. Still see it around and looks great
I bought a Jaguar XF SV8 with maximum equipment from the first owner two years ago. The car looks and drives great. Of course, I must admit this is a weekend car. I have fulfilled my dream, and I also have a great vehicle for going on vacation or for a joy ride. Greetings from Poland.
I've noticed that jags are a steal when buying used ,ever since the mess up of the mechanical glitch of the eighties jag,I've heard from jag owners that they have had no serious issues,I've always bought BMW,and mercedes ,this is my first time stepping into a fine British vehicle.
Thanks for doing this review. We bought an XF 3.0d recently and it’s superb (no pun intended). Such a relaxing way to travel but great acceleration when you need it
I own the same XF in black. The infotainment system can feel a little slow but it’s a tad unfair to say there are numerous menus to get to the heated seats - the adjustment is on the home screen! This really is a super car for the money. Yes, you could look like an old man but I’d rather that than the number of other things that spring to mind for offensively describing the owners of Merc, BMW and Audi. If you do take the plunge I really would think twice if you will be relying on a main dealer for maintenance as the expense could cause a few sleepless nights. The same probably applies for any prestige car purchased at this price point.
Paul Bayliss I love the car and I would happily have one. I was just trying to give a fair summary of it so had to think of some negatives. I don’t like the touch screen buttons for the heated seats, and there is still an OAP imagine associated with it, but this wouldn’t put me off buying one. I’d have it over a 5 series or E class. They’re very nice to drive 👍
Infotainment system is absolutely rubish (2012MY). But the rest is pretty good if you compare it to E60 or same year E series merc. If you compare it to F10, I would prefer F10 interior :)
Vytautas Stasiukaitis I agree. It’s the one I would choose over the competition. The slightly dated infotainment system is a price worth paying I think 👍
My best mate bought a new 5.0 V8 supercharger XF. I drove a good few times, to say it was fast was an understatement. He kept it 4 years, no mechanical faults but lots of electrical gremlins and the window fell into the door.
I have a 2.2 Portfolio and I love it, super comfortable but a great driving car. Quiet, economical and good looking. I have been in numerous E-Class and 5 Series and they are hard and spartan. Love my Jag. Greetings from Hong Kong.
*Jabba, the best thing about the Jcats is - unlike the unending-every-3rd/4th-car-coming-down-the-road being a beemer or audi or merc . . . it's great **_not_** to see yourself coming the other direction every 30 secs. If you buy that Jag, after a week you'll know exactly what I mean* !!
I had a 3.0 D XF and sold it cos I fancied a change. Big mistake. My BMW 5 series at similar price point was a real plain Jane, sluggish, noisy, 2 litres with terribly implemented (imo dangerous) electric power steering and a harsh ride (run-flats). It also had a lethal tendency to aquaplane. I was glad to get rid. My VW Touareg has similar steering issues which ruin an otherwise not too shabby car to drive car. The spec and ergonomics however are poor. Basically - nobody does it better. It has to be a Jag. You have a choice between a badly designed but well made and finished German car or brilliantly designed and not quite so well finished Jag. It is not all about the wood. The driving dynamics of a Jag are sublime. You only get one life so I am choosing the latter. A Jag is so much more fun!
Well, that's a relief! I've just bought a 3.0 XF V6 S Portfolio with 72,000 on the clock on an 09 plate. Always fancied a Jaguar but never been brave enough to bite the bullet. This one was cheap enough for me to take a chance and it really does appear to have been looked after. Love the look and the drive sold it to me. I'm a fan of smooth, quiet power so I'm looking forward to it enormously. Great video, thank you.
Bought a xf on your video and my lad who has one for the last 40 years have always been a honda man but not disappointed with the jag thanks to all your videos
Love your video!! Uniquely relaxing, much to my surprise. I’m 23, from the states, and will soon be looking to move on from my first high school car (a beat up ‘08 Scion Tc). I’ve been heavily considering getting the 2013-15 Jag XF. Lately however, I’ve been seduced by Mercedes’ more recent facelifts of their E class, specifically their 2014 e350 model. Also the Lexus IS 250, same year. I wouldn’t call myself a long-tenured Jaguar fan (more partial to Porsche since childhood), so I’m not entirely up-to-speed on its reputation throughout the years - but like you I’m also a bit of a sucker for “old people” things. Among the more current models of the XF, would you still recommend it against its competitors? It’s probably what I feel most drawn towards, but I’m fearful of buyer’s remorse. Not entirely sure what I’m specifically looking for in my next car, but I enjoy horsepower and luxury. I’d seek out a Porsche, but for under $20K, you don’t find many newer models. Warm regards!
Hey! Thanks for watching. They're the best kind of cars to go for because generally they haven't been abused. Have a drive of them both, but with my sensible hat on, I would probably go for the E350, just because it looks a little more modern than the XF. To be honest though, I think you'll love either :)
I bought a 2016 Jaguar XF Prestige in Hawaii in July of 2019. I loved it at the beginning. The first problem I had was the rims were 19" and scared up so I did lots of research and found the rim and tires I wanted. There were 18" and the tires I wanted came in the correct size. I bought the rims and made my appointment at Jaguar of Honolulu. When I took the car in they told me that they can not swap out the rims because I did not buy them from their dealership (The ONLY Jaguar dealership in Hawaii). I explained that I spent $2,000 US dollars on the rims and basically begged them, but they were firm and did not do the work. I took my Jag to GoodYear in Pearl City and begged them to switch the TPS sensors from the old rims to the new rims and do a wheel alignment. They agreed to switch the TPS sensors but told me they can not do work on Jaguars (At all not even oil changes). In fact, I quickly learned that no shops of any kind will do any work on a Jaguar (Fast Lube, Jiffy Lube, No one will do oil changes). Jaguar of Honolulu charges about $900.00 to service the car and do an oil change (information I found out after I was already STUCK with the car). I scheduled another appt with Jaguar to do the wheel alignment and fix the doors which were suddenly not locking anymore. At the appt I was told that the reason my doors stopped locking was the door actuators went bad. They replaced them on (2) doors and I paid the $2,000 bill making my Jaguar start to leave a dent in my wallet. This brings my investment to over $4,000 dollars plus the (4) new tires and I just bought the car! I should also say that I bought the car with 25,000 miles just for complete understanding. Door locks should not be breaking at 25k miles. That is insane!!!! Ok, so after paying the bill I walk out to my car and there is a huge 5 inch long area of scratches and missing paint at the bottom of one of the doors they fixed. I got so mad it was difficult to contain my rage after the bill I just paid. They did NOT discount the work after admitting they damaged my car. They could not even fix it that day because they had to schedule with an outside vendor for paint repairs. So I had to bring it back in a few weeks. In the meantime every time it rained my doors they started filling up with water or when I washed the car too.!!! At the next appt they (sort of fixed the paint damage). I could tell where they damaged it and they cleaned out the doors so they stopped filling up with water. This bill was no charge (Thank God!!). That was all in the 1st year of ownership. Now fast forward to now in Nov 2023. My Jag started leaking coolant. I made an appointment to Jaguar of Honolulu and the quote for the repair was $7,000 US dollars. I am not even finished making payments on the car and I have only driven the car 28,000 miles since I bought it!!! The Odometer is at 53,000 miles!!!! Explain to me how it has a 7,000 dollar coolant at 53K miles??? I own a 2006 Toyota Tacoma (I am the only owner) with 160,000 miles and only paid for breaks, oil changes, and a couple of battery replacements. How on Earth is Jaguar built so BAD????? I called Subaru and told them my 2016 Jag was in perfect condition and asked them how much they would give me to trade it in and you know what they said? Sorry, we won't take Jaguar for trade-ins. You have to sell it on your own. Are you freaking kidding me here!!!!!! I hate Jaguar and I will never ever have anything good to say about them ever again. I have to find a way to get out of this nightmare car!!!!! Any thoughts???
The good thing about this channel is that you review normal regular cars that the majority of the uk will look to buy not supercar reviews on things like a mclaren f1 or Porsche 917 just honest reviews on honest cars love it
UK car prices are actually ridiculous, i always chuckle whenever you mention the price haha....it's a wonder not everyone drives around in a limousine.
One problem with these is the engine does not have a dip stick for checking oil levels but relies on the engine management system a friend bought one and as he could not check it manually and the system did not alert him he blew the engine, it was then scrap value
Sounds like it did have a dipstick.....behind the steering wheel !!! Read the manual...it tells you how to check it.... if it didn’t work he should of booked it in instead of winging it til it went bang
I'm on my second Jag. My 1st was a 2004 XJ8 that the motor died at 205,000 miles. My current 2009 XF Supercharged has 104,000 miles and is bullet proof. Some minor things, but I'll live with it. 420HP makes my day!
I'm 71 years old. I have always wanted a Jag since I was about 14 years old. One day I will get one.
I'm 71 and I have a 3 Ltr XF. I've never enjoyed a car so much - get one.
Im 16 and i drive an 2008 x type. What have you been doing wrong?
@@apmdavies buy one...you can always sell it. I've always wanted a sports car..but kids..not having great paid jobs etc..never ever had one. Finally I thought sod it..I bought (2006) Audi TT. Mark 1...the original classic shape. Great condition. Very low mileage only 28,000 miles . I know it's not a awesome Corvette Stingray..my favourite car or a Ferrari etc. but to be honest I dont have a garage..( and the money) it's a great car..still looks the best car in the car park . So go out and get yourself a jag. You only live once.
@@Carlos_Verhaak What do you mean exactly?
I'm 73 and have always wanted a JAG.Trouble is I have a Honda CRV ,which is no fun to drive, but amazingly reliable.My worry is that if I get a Jag and it proves unreliable,I'll feel very stupid and will never forgive myself.If it does go wrong you could be facing a large bill,which I don't need.The only ones I could afford would have at least 50,000 on the clock. Any advise ?
The reason I love jags, is that NO ONE makes car interiors as beautiful, as comfortable, as special as the Brits. It's just a joy to spend any amount of time in. Even the chimes that come on when your door is ajar is pleasant. Much love from Texas
Hi! I agree :)
This the reason i bought jag...it’s interior is just unmatchable!
High Peak Autos I am looking at a 2010 XF vin# SAJWA0FA2AHR57810
I can’t decide whether to buy it or get a new Honda Accord. I heard the maintenance on the XF is expensive and the transmissions go out. Is this true?
pity they aren't reliable
@Manuel Santos I have a Toyota Aurion. A decade old and NEVER missed a beat like Toyotas generally. Best made car in the world
I love Jaguars, I wish I could own one in the confidence it would be reliable, but they are a money pit after the warranty period runs out, and they have a history of failure. Less so these days, but problems still exist. The entire British motor industry was ruined by bad management and governments who didn't care. Rover a prime example

Im a vehicle designer and I can say this car feels and looks awesome. Try it and you will love it. Period.
Indeed. No disappointment. 👌🏼
The 2019 Xf S generates almost 300 BHP and is fabulous.
@@stevelancaster4459 yeah sure! But the 2 litre diesel is enough for that
I drove the non-supercharged V8 at the press-launch back in 2008 in Monaco, and I instantly fell in love with the XF. They also had the diesel at the event which I found serviceable (if unremarkable), but the V8 is what you truly want in a car like this.
Even back then, and after getting indoctrinated by the Jaguar PR guys, it didn't feel as refined or even stylish as a BMW 5 series, but it had so much character. And you just don't see them on the road as often as a BMW, Merc or Audi. At least not over here in Germany. In that way, Jags are a lot like Alfa Romeos - nothing truly special underneath the skin, a bit last year when it comes to things like infotainment or drivetrains and with dubious long-term reliability. But both brands can still be very charming for someone who doesn't want the sensible/obvious choice from Stuttgart or Munich.
What I really loved about the car (and it's kinda hard to convey the feeling after 13 years) was the relative boldness of the design, going from the S-Type to the XF. It really felt like they had finally moved away from the "ye olde motorcar"-look and -feel that previous Jags had gotten by on. But to do that, they didn't ditch any of the classic elements like wood or leather - they just re-interpreted them in a more modern and less stuffy way. I'd buy one today if I had the need.
I’d argue the V8 in a Jaguar is a safer bet than the one in a 5 series BMW.
I've had two x-types (2007 and 2009) and have a 3 litre diesel XF automatic (2009). Lovely card to drive, especially the XF, which has plenty of whoosh and beautifully refined.
Minor issues about warning light for washer fluid and bonnet catch. Otherwise great!
Recommended. You can pick up a 2009 for less than £6k in great condition.
I bought the Portfolio 3.0 V6 model about six months ago. I'd recommend one to anyone, fantastic car. Like Matt keeps saying, always buy a looked after model. I DIDN'T and it's cost me to sort it out, but it's still well worth it and I'm glad I stuck with it. I hope I can keep it for years. Great vids, keep them coming please.
How much did you buy yours for ? And what did you have to fix ?
@@user-sd3ry6sd2t I Paid 7K for the car which was way too much. I had to replace the infotainment screen £800, Nearside front and back alloys had been cracked and poorly repaired so the tyres kept loosing pressure, had to buy two wheels off ebay and was lucky to get them for £90 each. there were lots of other electrical issues with the car due to a corroded fuse box which luckily my mechanic managed to repair. a new one would have been very expensive. I had spent about 3k on repairs and re-newals so on top of the purchace price, I could have bought a newer, better looked after model.
I traded it in against another Jag XJ which I have had for about four months with no issues at all. I would NEVER buy from a private individual again. I will always buy from a reputable dealer, even if it costs a little more.
Sensible, smart and genuine review. Thank you
Thank you
The XF is a beautiful looking car. A classic design, it will always look great - like the classic Aston Martins.
You actually helped me making an informed decision to buy my first Jag yesterday 🙈 so thank you. Bought a fully loaded 2015 XFS 3.0 Diesel Portfolio with only 36k on the clock. I’ve had a BMW 3 series in the past and also owned/driven Mercedes C, E & S class prior to this. Yes, the German quality and driving experience is there but that all changed after I drove this beautiful car. I have to say they’re actually so underrated in driving and luxury experience. My latest car has been a C class and after driving this Jag the Merc feels like an old man’s car to be honest. The handling is smooth, agile and extremely nimble for this tank of a car and the power will blow your mind away. I drove my mate’s 5 series recently and loved it. But this XFS certainly seemed on a slightly better edge for me. I’m just so lucky to find an extremely well looked after piece by its previous owner with FSH from main Jaguar dealer. Just can’t wait to collect it in couple of days so really excited to enjoy this piece of art. Keep doing the good work mate and hope to see more informative/entertaining reviews from you 👍🏼!
How is your XF going so far? I'm in the market for a slightly newer 2018 XF myself which is about the limit of my budget. Worth it?
@@Doyouevenliftjpg I’ll keep it real and simple! The best car I’ve ever driven to date after owning BMW & MERC. Get a good one since lot of people get a dirty lemon and then complain. I’m very happy with it do far.
@@CRYPTIIIK Did you get portfolio? Not really heard anyone have a bad word to say about them so far so glad you're enjoying. I'm aiming for 2018, less than 40k miles and FSH when I get mine!
@@Doyouevenliftjpg yes ..2015 Portfolio..only thing missing is a heated steering wheel..but not too bothered about that. Just take care of it on time and it’ll look after you.
I have owned a 2014 XF Sportbrake 3.0D S Portfolio in Ultimate Black with the black pack for a year now, and it is the best car i have ever purchased, especially paying less than £20k for a car that was nearly £60K new in this guise. The comfort, ride and looks are second to none in the exec m-way cruiser class with great performance when you need it too. I've returned to my car to find people taking photos of it and get lots of compliments. Buy one, you won't regret it.
Have you been able to determine maintenance costs on these cars. Are they average compared to like Audi's, as I'm an Audi owner, or less or more expensive to maintain?
@@charliesadv8493 that's what I'm trying to find out before I spend my money
⁰l@@charliesadv8493
I have a 2012 XF Supercharged V8 Portfolio edition. I love the car at 6 years old I had to replace the battery. Other than that zero issues. Prior to my XF I had. 2003 S Type. Drove it 13 years to 156k well loved miles. Again zero issues, it was one of the best car's I've ever owned. 4.2 V8. So with the experience I had with my S Type I had no concerns about the purchase of my XF. Ya gotta love a Jaaaaaaag!
Brian Keith Null I love Jaaaaaggs. Always have. I’ve had several and never had any hideous issues that would put me off buying one. I filmed with a 5.0 XKR at the weekend which will be live soon 😉
Brian Keith Null I have a 2007 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 191k miles trouble free
That's hard to believe. dashboard-light.com shows it at a quality index rating of 23.
Brian Keith Null I bought a 2012 XF Supercharged about 7 months ago. Found one with 36000 miles on it. searched for four years for that car. Like you I had to replace the battery. The only other problem with the car is the interior lights. They keep coming on while I'm driving. Found this to be a common problem with the car. I think it had to do with the motion detector sensors. Other than that I love this car.
@@lonstjohn2616 great Buy and super low miles congrats. I had a 2011 XF 5.0, initially I had that issue with the lights but all I did was use a screwdriver and pry the touch motion sensor lights down and I cleaned it out inside, there could be bugs in there or dirt that are causing them to go on and off super easy fix
I owned a 10 plate XF 3.0 v6 for a year, was a great car , fast, luxurious , drives well. Loved it. The twin turbo really kicks, 0-60 is brilliant for this size of car.
Couldn’t stretch the budget to an XJ but picked up a low mileage XF. Very happy 😃
Great review...I live in Canada and just picked up a 2011 Xf premium in like new condition ..with the v8... Car was owned by an older lady and only has 55000 miles.....it is powerful and dream to drive....never owned a jag before but I am super impressed with the style comfort power and look of the car.....I hope it is going to be reliable...if it is it will be the best car I have ever owned and I have had about 25 in my life so far....cheers bloke!
55000 miles in canada ?? The cars here are in kilometers not miles
How much did u pay for that
ace boogie
Yes 95,000 kms...I did the conversion to miles

Paid 16000 Canadian $

Just bought my first Jaguar (XF) portfolio 2.2 2015. I love it! Last 2 cars have been BMW and Mercedes and don't think there is too much between the cars with regards to quality and spec. I have to say that for me, the Jag is the one that puts a smile on my face, the feel good factor is second to none. It seems to be a sensible car about town and when you want, it can be a bit of a hoodlum too!
Which has been most reliable / had less issues ?
@@user-sd3ry6sd2t I would say that the Jag gave me a very small electrical issue but was quite expensive to fix, but, was worth every penny in order to drive such a brilliant car. The Mercedes had an issue with Ad-blu sensors which was fixed under warranty and my current BMW 5 series has had no issues what so ever. I still miss my Jag though!
You said it mate puts a smile on your face what's more important than that
I’m on my 2nd X-Type 2.2, I had my first one when I was 20 and loved it but after a few years I replaced it with the final edition of the x-type sovereign with the mesh chrome grill and jag badge in the centre and it still gives me a smile to drive it. I agree the early ones were a bit poorly built and cheap inside but after 2005 they got a revamp which was a big improvement. Both have been very reliable and I’m definitely staying with jaguar for my next car probably an XF. I love jags for the very reason they are not BMWs or Mercs. Nothing against the German rivals (great cars) but there is a definite magic about a jag which you simply can’t find any where else.
Completely agree. Adored mine. It was a 08 and was a joy to drive. My parents have it now.
I've got the same spec 07 estate, fab do anything in comfort car
In the US, never been inside a Jaguar, but they have always been my favorite car brand just because all the absolutely beautiful automobiles Jaguar has made over their history. The few people I have met driving a Jag here in West Virginia where our nearest dealer is 2 hours away, Love their beautiful cars! Great video, typically well done as Britts seem to always do!
Thank you! They're great cars :)
I'm watching this in late 2021 and it's still the most informative (and funniest) review of the XF

I'm 25 now and I've had mine for over a year now,exactly the same 3L v6. Bought it at 43k miles in white. I was deciding between this and an S3.. best decision car wise I've ever made
That sounds like a decision I would've made - most 25 years old wouldn't agree though, but I would absolutely have it over an S3!
Congratulations,!!!!
Mac Em I’m going to get one In a couple of days
Is it reliable? What should I watch out for to keep it from breaking down and keep it for many more miles
When I was 24, I was looking at Ford Scorpio, all the luxury for a reasonable second hand price. I found out the price of the insurance. It was fairly expensive. So I thought I'd find out the price of insurance for an MR2 T bar. It wasn't much more, so I bought the MR2! That was 1994, when the MR2 was 3 years old, and I still have it. :-)
Thanks for your excellent review. Due to watching this I bought a 2012 XF 3.0 V6 diesel premium luxury.
Amazing motor car, incredible value under £9k full-service history. mileage 66 thousand. Beautiful motor car, thanks again.
Thanks for watching! They make a great used buy... so much car for the money!
How is your experience with maintenance charges and mpg?
MPG is pretty good. Average 27MPG around town and 40+ on a run. Parts are expensive from the main dealer, but you can find them cheaper if you look around on the internet

Any news?
This is only the third time I've watched one of Yr videos and I can say you defo have my vote for next top gear presenter
Thank you! :)
Thank you for your unbiased straightforward review. Always liked the XF in 3.0 D guise. A car for the connoisseur who likes something different.
I currently drive an XE which was a leap of faith as it is my first "British" car in 30 plus years. It's ok but I now know I should have gone with the XF and will be doing so in the next week or so. Thanks for the video.
Hello! New XF owner here…how is the XF holding up? Anything I should know about?
@@vishwasgowda1390 It held up very well, albeit I did have a not unexpected problem with the EGR valve. Other than that, it was a joy to drive and own. I sold the car back in June, but I would have no hesitation recommending the car or indeed buying another. Now replaced with a Lexus which is a different kettle of fish, and again I am very happy with my choice.
@@dontuno The EGR valve issue is rather easy and inexpensive to fix. I've had my XF for three years now and it's been fairly reliable. Only EGR valve cleaning and parking sensor replacement.
Jaguars have always been absolutely great cars and exemplified a premium marque. All premium cars require comprehensive maintenance, you hear people complaining about reliability issues but 9 times out of 10 the issues arising would’ve been avoided if the owner had serviced the car regularly and rectified any small problems occurring as they happened and not left them to turn into bigger problems. The XJ series was an amazing car range - The enthusiasts still revere the E-type and it had its own niche in the market. A work colleague swears by his 3 litre X type jag and has had it for many years and it is still incredibly comfy and luxurious and smooth car. Good video as usual Matt.
I'm 35 and I own a 2005 s-type 3.0 v6, and a 2010 jaguar xf 5.0 v8, I love both of them and have had minimal problems with both cars. once a jag guy always a jag guy.
Thats right! Good choice with both
Its true, I got one, its great no negatives at all. I'm aged 71 paid £12K for 2013 in 2019, low mileage 38k fsh, beige interior, 2.2ltr D auto. Mine does not have the eyebrow bonnet, has a Ford engine & not aluminium, they changed in 2015 & everyone seems to prefer this model to that. I just love it, its a real pleasure to drive and that's all I use for.... pleasure! (I did buy a snarling jag button cap with the red background for the rotary gear selector .. makes me feel good too)
Pleased to hear it
I have owned a 2012 Jag 3.OD since new.It has proved to be a wonderful car.Completely reliable and economical ,the opposite of the reputed money pit.But I learned the hard way the DPF will fill up with only about 200 kms of unbroken city driving.You simply must get out on the freeway for an hour or two very frequently.Now I use it only for extended touring,and what a comfortable GT it is!
Did you try any additives to keep the DPF problem at bay
Ive a or should say until tonight when it’s been attacked by some giant pick up in the rear mk4 Mondeo with 321k miles
And the biggest problems always been the DPF, but it is actually still on the original DPF. I find the additives can sort out problems fairly quickly.
Im 25 and a Jag legit fell in my lap last summer for a bargain price.. It would have been rude not to and subsequently I've been in complete infactuation with the brand ever since. Thats me sold.
Thats how it happens! They get under your skin :)
There a 2016 jag xf 35t prestige with a little over 9k for 28k and some change. Is it worth it
I like the tempo you present those cars. Great job!
Hi, just wanna say thank you for this great review. It was a deal breaker for me. I bought a 2014 facelift XFS 3.0 diesel, a few weeks ago and it is absolutely amazing to drive. And it sticks out in every way possible. Was about to buy a mk2 xf but realized this model looks and feels better. The seats are insanely comfortable. Got 330bhp and 720nm of torque. Overtaking feels safe every time. Low fuel consumption as well. I guess I just wanna say I love this car in every way. Thank you from Sweden :) 🤘
Hows the jag still going 👍🏻
@@Emtbwebb , it still runs great. Was a bit nervous about rear wheel drive during winter, but it handles really well. I still think it’s a beautiful car. I can seriously say I love it 🤟

I bought a 2010 Jag XF petrol when I lived in Atlanta - 2011/13. Never had a problem. It was superb. And when I lived in the UK 2006/07 I had a 2004 Jag XJ....never had a problem. That has been my Jag experience and I reckon I will be buying another one this year here in Melbourne, Australia
@@yotony0, yes, they really are something else. Germans feel more ordinary, but a Jag is a Jag. :D
I recently bought a 3.0 V6 XFS 2016 and I love it. The supercharger can make you giddy. Beautiful to drive.
how much did u pay for it?
I know this video is from 4 years ago, but I am looking to buy one now and you pushed me over the edge and tomorrow I'll close the deal, despite the high road tax here in Ireland for this model (3.0L engine Petrol). I couldn't find a decent diesel one so petrol it is. Thanks
Bought a 2011 premium in 2017. Had 52,000 miles. Had a few minor electrical issues with the windows. All the repairs were covered under my extended warranty however, this car is a mechanical beast. Sporty and luxury....powerful!
I took mine to the dealership for annual maintenance and they gave me a 2017 XF as a courtesy to drive until mine was ready. I tell you...i think they were trying to sell me an upgrade...lol but, the 2017 performance was soooo subpar to my 2011. I would not have believed it had I not driven it and experienced it for myself. Also drove the F PACE SUV...same thing. I could not believe the lacking performance. The only Jag that had great performance compared to the XF was the XJ.
😂 I watched this video. Then went out with my dad who's has a xf. He came out off the service station with a pack of werthers original 🤣
Hahaha! Its an XF trait...
Hey! Werthers are delicious. You have to appreciate a good piece of hard candy 🍬 😂
I have been driving this model in this colour for two years, I love it. It looks like it is worth a lot more that the book value. Nice video - thank you!

Based on your review I happened on a 2014 Portfolio model with 20k miles which I traded for a C class Merc and I am Delighted with it. It is so quiet and comfy and goes like h-ll when you need it, it just makes you smile, it is so effortless. Thank you!,
Great to hear!

Wait till you drive one, the one to get is the 3L S Deisle it goes like the devil up a vergin 🤣
I’m 19 and am seriously considering getting one lol
@@olliebell7177 how much is the insurance for you, its a lovely car and fast 🌬️
I’ve got a stage 1 Xfs D portfolio it’s a absolute beast so don’t feel old get one!
I’ve a A6 s line and my dad has a XF... and If I’m honest I much prefer being in his car the interior just seems so much nicer
Nice looking Jag. Nice review of the car. I have also always wanted a Jag. I'm 58. My Dad loves the brand (he's 88). But he is a Presbyterian pastor who also owns his own company. So even with the means, he long ago realized how that would look to his congregation. Consequently, he drives a Toyota mini van. But I have nothing holding me back and really want the very Jag you've shown us on this video. I've owned two BMWs, several Volvos, and in my youth, four VWs. But the Jag is something special. Thanks for the video.
Originally had 2 X-Types. Replaced the one in 2016, with a 2015 XF Luxury Portfolio (V6 Supercharged) in metallic British Racing Green. Absolutely LOVE this car! Got a great deal from the dealership, as it was their service loaner with low km's and no need to say how it was maintained. A pleasure to drive and handles like a dream. Heated windscreen is great to have, as we get some cold winters here in British Columbia. Loved this car so much, we replaced the other X-Type last year with a second XF (albeit a 2013) Luxury (V6 Supercharged with a sport package) in Carnelian Metallic Red, one owner, bought from our dealership and maintained there as well, with low km's. Too good a deal to pass up! So far, zero issues with either. Love how you can go from one car to the other and know exactly how it's going to drive. Would recommend this car to anyone!
Great choice! I love them too :)
Well, here we are with the gas prices low now here in June 2020. I also like the gray outside and black inside. She is a good car.
We're a family of jag owners we have an e type series 2 fully restored I had 2 stype 4.0v8 4.2v8 recently bought a 3.0d s portfolio excellent great performance with economy too!!
Ive had 4 jaguars current is a 2.2 X-type ,, love it for all the reasons you mentioned
Thanks very much for the objective and down to earth "reportage" - ! - Being into my second XF 3,0D, now - Both, leased from new - the second one (2013), I bought when the three-year leasing contract went out - and now, six years old, with about 88ooo km, it still runs like a kitten. No troubles, no brake-downs - NEVER had any problems with any of the two - Service once a year, no nonsense and utterly reasonable to own. Besotting great looks - fast (250 km/h top-out on the Autobahn, without any drama, totally stable and safe) - extremely easy-driving - puts a smile on my face every time - love it!! Can recommend it without any hesitation!!
Ketil Haugsand I agree! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@HighPeakAutos - a great pleasure indeed - I really appreciate your honesty and objectivity - and at the same time it is wonderful to realize that you can't deny a true enthusiasm for the car...!! :-))))) - Welcome to the club!!
I have an elderly customer who has had 17 Jaguars and won't have anything else. He is a retired engineer. He currently has an XF diesel but when he showed me photos of the cars he has owned..including XK150 and E Type...well the photos were wonderful.
Dude Loved it! im actually thinking of buying this car and your advice was so helpful. When you hit 1 milion subs remember me.
Sam Mathieu Hey! Thanks for that - appreciate it. If you’re considering one, I’d get one! They’re great cars 😉
Try to get 3.0 but after 2012
Yeah the 2012 facelift is better if you can afford to spend a little extra
Great video review as always. You are honest and thorough. I have a silver Jaguar XF 2.7 luxury, twin turbo on a 2009. Light grey leather interior. It’s immaculate inside and out and at 82k. Paid £7k a year ago. It’s my first Jag and I love it, especially after coming from a Ford Focus CC. Maybe I’ll get the higher spec and 3.0 litre engine in the future but for now I’m really happy with this one. Crazy to think this was a 30k - 40k car when brand new. Great bargain 😉
Good buy! They're great cars. I can't recommend them enough
Currently had a S Type for two years. Yep, I'm a 70 Yr old fart with a Jag but if I had the money 50 years ago I've have had a Jag then too!! Love 'em and always will. Ticked a bucket list off with my S Type. XF next. Definitely!
I would recommend one. They're great cars :)
Me too love it 😉👍
My brother bought the 5Ltr Super charged V8 Jag and it snaps your neck when you step on the gas he loves it totally inpractical but totally georgeous!
It’s a great car. I have the 2010 XF premium. Even though the car is 10 yrs old it’s still the nicest car on my block and I live in a posh suburb.
They're lovely cars. Something very timeless about them
Such a good video, was thinking about getting an XF and after watching your review I definitely will be getting one. Thanks for making my mind up.
ian durbridge Thanks for the comments! Good luck in your search and hope you enjoy it 👍🏻
Go for the XFS it’s got a beautiful smooth and powerful engine with good fuel economy 👌
That’s a good honest review, I’m up for a car change from my Audi A6 which I’ve had and enjoyed for 5 years with no issues. I want the same reliability with more refinement, perhaps XF is the way to go
I sold my 2001 A6 and I bought a 2014 XF. I'm really happy with my choice.
Informative due to honest remarks! Well done....
Thanks!
I would like to say a massive thank you to you my friend. Last month I had major surgery at Manchester Royal Infirmary to treat pancreatic cancer. Whilst I was in recovery I spent many hours watching your fantastic informative humorous videos,especially this one.
Since I was a child I had always dreamt of owning a Jaguar with my dream being ignited even more after the introduction of the XF. I fell in love with the styling and I agree with you that the older models still feels extremely modern.
Back in 2012 I had kidney cancer, now the pancreatic cancer, so whilst watching your video I thought to myself when I leave hospital and before my chemotherapy begins I am going to buy a XF. Today I purchased a 2012 3.0 litre premium luxury XF in white, I cannot stop smiling I feel the luckiest man alive, I have been driving the same Clio for 16 years! Today my dream come true I own a beautiful Jaguar.
Thank you my friend for helping me whilst I was in recovery and thank you because of you I set my goal on making my dream come true and today that happened
Knight Gary Wow! Thank you for your comments. I’m glad you’ve treated yourself to your dream car. It certainly sounds like you’ve been through a rough time, I hope you’re over that now. Best of luck in your recovery. Thanks for watching and enjoy your lovely XF 👍🏻
Much respect to you man! I sincerely hope you're going to recover soon!! And enjoy your XF!! Jaguars have a positively different feeling!! You gotta love it 😁
Davide Selvi Thank you my friend, a few months on and the excitement remains the same, absolutely adore Angel-my XF
Just got my own version of this in blue yesterday, 3L premium 2009 for just under 7k. Lovely to drive and so many extras it will take me forever to find out what everything does! Cracking review, cheers 👍
Any good a year later ?
Yes any good ?
Would love to see a timeline of your previous cars with pictures!
I've owned my 2009 XF S diesel for over 5 years with no issues apart from a new alternator at 93000 miles.
Al8minium Pleased to hear it. Any used car can be unreliable so I wouldn’t be put off owning a jag because of reliability worries
That's an ISSUE!!
Mine went at the same milage on the same .model car as yours.
Jaguar fleeced me and charged 900 pounds to replace it. Despite the fact I had diagnosed this simple problem. That charged 260 quid to diagnose the problem even though I specifically asked for the alternator to be changed. .
Since then the inlet manifold has cracked so i cut my losses at that point. A plastic manifold on a twin turbo performance car ? What were they thinking.
Reliable cars ? 28th out of 31 cars tested according to Which? Magazine.
After two consecutive XJs I went with a Lexus GS, this video makes me sort of wish that I went with the XF instead. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. BTW, the Meridian Soundsystem in the XF is the best I've ever heard.
I dunno about that. The Lexus GS is a great car. Which trim did you get?
I’ve just started working away from home again and the 300 mile journey has become unbearable in my Audi A6. So last trip home on put a deposit on my first Jaguar, XF 3 litre V6 2013 plate. Wasn’t sure I had made the right choice until I watched this. Thanks bro, mind at rest, can’t wait to get home and pick it up.
We are entitled to our own opinions. I bought a S-type in 2005. I drove the car for 10 years. I sold the car in 2015 with 195650 kilometers. I must say, the car was comfortable. I am looking for another S-type or XF.
I always liked the S Type, but it wasn't as good as the competition. I'm a big Jag fan though
Had an 3.0 Mk1 XF for four years. Never missed a beat.
Only problem about the diesels, if you do alot of short journeys you will keep getting DPF Full, ended up by selling the diesel and going for the XFR petrol version.
Imran Bari That’s the trouble with diesels isn’t it. I’ve had DPF issues on lots of different cars. You bought an XFR? I bet that’s awesome. That’s what I would have done too 😉
If the dpi problem comes up just take it for a 70 mph drive for half an hour and it clears did that with mine a year ago and had no more problems
Because i was only doing 12 miles a day, no moterway trips, the dpf would come on weekly when sitting in traffic. I had to take it on the moterway every week in order to clear it. I ended up just wasting time and fuel just clearing it on a weekly basis.
Imran Bari Quite often its too late to fix it by driving on the motorway - it either needs cleaning or worst case replacing at a cost of £400+
@@HighPeakAutos Perhaps if more people actually UNDERSTOOD about driving and HOW TO DRIVE PROPERLY they wouldn't have DPF problems. The VAST MAJORITY of people LABOUR their engines ie they are in too higher gear. My sister had a continual problem with the dpf warning light until I told her to only use the first THREE gears when driving AROUND TOWN- result ? Now she hasn't had the dpf warning light come on a single time since she took my advice !! Don't ya' just hate smart arses ???
I loved my Mondeo and loved my two x types even more.
I went from a 2017 Lexus ES 350 to a 2017 Jag-u-ar XF R SPORT 35t RWD. I enjoyed my Lexus, but I love my Jag! It's a beast of a car and definitely a head turner!

It’s a lovely car
I was very fortunate to have a 2010 XF 3.0d as a company car. I absolutely loved it, it was the base model and the only option was metallic black paint. It was right on the limit of my budget but never regretted it for a second. The rotating air vents on startup add to the sense of occasion on every trip and the minimalist interior was years ahead of the game. Two Polish lads in a van stopped one Saturday morning when I had just finished giving "Vladimir" (looked like the sort of car a Russian gangster might drive) a wash and they thought it was a "supercar" and estimated it cost more than 100k Euro! It was without doubt my favourite car of the many I have owned - I just hope JLR manage to get their act together and bring out an EV version.
l bought my XF 2.7 turbo diesel when it was two years old , had it for 9 years , it was the best car i ever owned , i am a petrol head ive had so many cars over the years this jag never let me down and it had 278thousand klms on the clock , I would defo buy another
I had a 2009 XF 3.0 Prem Lux and loved it. Only concerns were the appalling headlights - I had to get out and check they were actually on more than once, and the dreaded DPF. I had a short commute to work and found the DPF needing to regenerate every couple of weeks and caught me out needing an otherwise unnecessary oil change a couple of times.
If you're looking to buy one make sure it has the Xenon headlights - Portfolio does, I think. That and a good history.
I too had a XFS V8 supercharged Portfolio and it has to be one of the best cars ever owned, never put a foot wrong in 4 years. Black with Ivory leather Fantastic. Still see it around and looks great
Thanks for your comments. They're great cars!
I bought a Jaguar XF SV8 with maximum equipment from the first owner two years ago. The car looks and drives great. Of course, I must admit this is a weekend car. I have fulfilled my dream, and I also have a great vehicle for going on vacation or for a joy ride. Greetings from Poland.
I've noticed that jags are a steal when buying used ,ever since the mess up of the mechanical glitch of the eighties jag,I've heard from jag owners that they have had no serious issues,I've always bought BMW,and mercedes ,this is my first time stepping into a fine British vehicle.
I agree! Its usually nothing serious, maybe some annoying electrical issues, but worth it
I'm looking at a 2013 or 14 XF as a 50th birthday gift to myself. EXCITED!
I hope you've managed to buy that superb XF (X250 LCI).
“Petrol costs £1.30 a litre” you say. Oh for those days of cheap fuel haha
This guy is the best car reviewer in the country. His reviews cover exactly what information a buyer needs
Thanks!
Thanks for doing this review. We bought an XF 3.0d recently and it’s superb (no pun intended). Such a relaxing way to travel but great acceleration when you need it
I own the same XF in black. The infotainment system can feel a little slow but it’s a tad unfair to say there are numerous menus to get to the heated seats - the adjustment is on the home screen! This really is a super car for the money. Yes, you could look like an old man but I’d rather that than the number of other things that spring to mind for offensively describing the owners of Merc, BMW and Audi. If you do take the plunge I really would think twice if you will be relying on a main dealer for maintenance as the expense could cause a few sleepless nights. The same probably applies for any prestige car purchased at this price point.
Paul Bayliss I love the car and I would happily have one. I was just trying to give a fair summary of it so had to think of some negatives. I don’t like the touch screen buttons for the heated seats, and there is still an OAP imagine associated with it, but this wouldn’t put me off buying one. I’d have it over a 5 series or E class. They’re very nice to drive 👍
Infotainment system is absolutely rubish (2012MY). But the rest is pretty good if you compare it to E60 or same year E series merc. If you compare it to F10, I would prefer F10 interior :)
Vytautas Stasiukaitis I agree. It’s the one I would choose over the competition. The slightly dated infotainment system is a price worth paying I think 👍
If you want a proper old man car, I had a black 2003 XJ6 before my XF. That thing makes the XF feel like a hot-hatch!
Paul Bayliss =
£1.30 a litre for petrol! I think most people would be happy with that these days! How the times have changed
The only car reviewer you’ll ever need ....👍
My best mate bought a new 5.0 V8 supercharger XF. I drove a good few times, to say it was fast was an understatement. He kept it 4 years, no mechanical faults but lots of electrical gremlins and the window fell into the door.
I have a 2.2 Portfolio and I love it, super comfortable but a great driving car. Quiet, economical and good looking. I have been in numerous E-Class and 5 Series and they are hard and spartan. Love my Jag. Greetings from Hong Kong.
Thanks for sharing!
Im about of buying one and this review convinced me to go for it ! Thank´s for the good review .. :)
*Jabba, the best thing about the Jcats is - unlike the unending-every-3rd/4th-car-coming-down-the-road being a beemer or audi or merc . . . it's great **_not_** to see yourself coming the other direction every 30 secs. If you buy that Jag, after a week you'll know exactly what I mean* !!
How did it all go please Jabba?
I had a 3.0 D XF and sold it cos I fancied a change. Big mistake. My BMW 5 series at similar price point was a real plain Jane, sluggish, noisy, 2 litres with terribly implemented (imo dangerous) electric power steering and a harsh ride (run-flats). It also had a lethal tendency to aquaplane. I was glad to get rid. My VW Touareg has similar steering issues which ruin an otherwise not too shabby car to drive car. The spec and ergonomics however are poor. Basically - nobody does it better. It has to be a Jag. You have a choice between a badly designed but well made and finished German car or brilliantly designed and not quite so well finished Jag. It is not all about the wood. The driving dynamics of a Jag are sublime. You only get one life so I am choosing the latter. A Jag is so much more fun!
55yo in the States. Didn’t know there was a diesel. Love the style of this car.
dugfriendly They look great don’t they. We get the diesel in Europe 👍🏻
Well, that's a relief! I've just bought a 3.0 XF V6 S Portfolio with 72,000 on the clock on an 09 plate. Always fancied a Jaguar but never been brave enough to bite the bullet. This one was cheap enough for me to take a chance and it really does appear to have been looked after. Love the look and the drive sold it to me. I'm a fan of smooth, quiet power so I'm looking forward to it enormously. Great video, thank you.
It makes me smile when I see an American review which says, "Great, but it needs a louder exhaust!". No! No, no no no no! :-)
Bought a xf on your video and my lad who has one for the last 40 years have always been a honda man but not disappointed with the jag thanks to all your videos
cant wait to send one of your units to Kenya. You're the kind of dealer we love to deal with
Let me know what youre looking for :)
I'm 18 and I have a 2.7 s type, love it😂
Haha that's just like me! Great cars
Love your video!! Uniquely relaxing, much to my surprise. I’m 23, from the states, and will soon be looking to move on from my first high school car (a beat up ‘08 Scion Tc). I’ve been heavily considering getting the 2013-15 Jag XF. Lately however, I’ve been seduced by Mercedes’ more recent facelifts of their E class, specifically their 2014 e350 model. Also the Lexus IS 250, same year. I wouldn’t call myself a long-tenured Jaguar fan (more partial to Porsche since childhood), so I’m not entirely up-to-speed on its reputation throughout the years - but like you I’m also a bit of a sucker for “old people” things. Among the more current models of the XF, would you still recommend it against its competitors? It’s probably what I feel most drawn towards, but I’m fearful of buyer’s remorse. Not entirely sure what I’m specifically looking for in my next car, but I enjoy horsepower and luxury. I’d seek out a Porsche, but for under $20K, you don’t find many newer models. Warm regards!
Hey! Thanks for watching. They're the best kind of cars to go for because generally they haven't been abused. Have a drive of them both, but with my sensible hat on, I would probably go for the E350, just because it looks a little more modern than the XF. To be honest though, I think you'll love either :)
As an independent jag, Land Rover repair shop I say yes please keep buying these, they make me the best pay in the industry!!
Lol
I bought a 2016 Jaguar XF Prestige in Hawaii in July of 2019. I loved it at the beginning. The first problem I had was the rims were 19" and scared up so I did lots of research and found the rim and tires I wanted. There were 18" and the tires I wanted came in the correct size. I bought the rims and made my appointment at Jaguar of Honolulu. When I took the car in they told me that they can not swap out the rims because I did not buy them from their dealership (The ONLY Jaguar dealership in Hawaii). I explained that I spent $2,000 US dollars on the rims and basically begged them, but they were firm and did not do the work. I took my Jag to GoodYear in Pearl City and begged them to switch the TPS sensors from the old rims to the new rims and do a wheel alignment. They agreed to switch the TPS sensors but told me they can not do work on Jaguars (At all not even oil changes). In fact, I quickly learned that no shops of any kind will do any work on a Jaguar (Fast Lube, Jiffy Lube, No one will do oil changes). Jaguar of Honolulu charges about $900.00 to service the car and do an oil change (information I found out after I was already STUCK with the car). I scheduled another appt with Jaguar to do the wheel alignment and fix the doors which were suddenly not locking anymore. At the appt I was told that the reason my doors stopped locking was the door actuators went bad. They replaced them on (2) doors and I paid the $2,000 bill making my Jaguar start to leave a dent in my wallet. This brings my investment to over $4,000 dollars plus the (4) new tires and I just bought the car! I should also say that I bought the car with 25,000 miles just for complete understanding. Door locks should not be breaking at 25k miles. That is insane!!!! Ok, so after paying the bill I walk out to my car and there is a huge 5 inch long area of scratches and missing paint at the bottom of one of the doors they fixed. I got so mad it was difficult to contain my rage after the bill I just paid. They did NOT discount the work after admitting they damaged my car. They could not even fix it that day because they had to schedule with an outside vendor for paint repairs. So I had to bring it back in a few weeks. In the meantime every time it rained my doors they started filling up with water or when I washed the car too.!!! At the next appt they (sort of fixed the paint damage). I could tell where they damaged it and they cleaned out the doors so they stopped filling up with water. This bill was no charge (Thank God!!). That was all in the 1st year of ownership. Now fast forward to now in Nov 2023. My Jag started leaking coolant. I made an appointment to Jaguar of Honolulu and the quote for the repair was $7,000 US dollars. I am not even finished making payments on the car and I have only driven the car 28,000 miles since I bought it!!! The Odometer is at 53,000 miles!!!! Explain to me how it has a 7,000 dollar coolant at 53K miles??? I own a 2006 Toyota Tacoma (I am the only owner) with 160,000 miles and only paid for breaks, oil changes, and a couple of battery replacements. How on Earth is Jaguar built so BAD????? I called Subaru and told them my 2016 Jag was in perfect condition and asked them how much they would give me to trade it in and you know what they said? Sorry, we won't take Jaguar for trade-ins. You have to sell it on your own. Are you freaking kidding me here!!!!!! I hate Jaguar and I will never ever have anything good to say about them ever again. I have to find a way to get out of this nightmare car!!!!! Any thoughts???
One of the best car review channels on RUclips KEEP THEM COMING
Thanks for watching! More on the way :)
The good thing about this channel is that you review normal regular cars that the majority of the uk will look to buy not supercar reviews on things like a mclaren f1 or Porsche 917 just honest reviews on honest cars love it
I don't have much interest in those kind of unobtainable cars - which is good because I don't have any access to them haha :)
The good thing is there are so so many cars for you still to review,loads out there
UK car prices are actually ridiculous, i always chuckle whenever you mention the price haha....it's a wonder not everyone drives around in a limousine.
Insurance prices are stupidly expensive in the UK
They are very reasonable on the used market, it’s the insurance and servicing costs which are expensive
One problem with these is the engine does not have a dip stick for checking oil levels but relies on the engine management system a friend bought one and as he could not check it manually and the system did not alert him he blew the engine, it was then scrap value
A lot of cars nowadays don't have a dip stick - it is annoying. All it takes is a sensor to fail and you'll end up running it dry. Not a good idea
You can view the level from the dashboard menu. Car has to be off and sat for around 10 minutes
Sounds like it did have a dipstick.....behind the steering wheel !!! Read the manual...it tells you how to check it.... if it didn’t work he should of booked it in instead of winging it til it went bang
I'm on my second Jag. My 1st was a 2004 XJ8 that the motor died at 205,000 miles. My current 2009 XF Supercharged has 104,000 miles and is bullet proof. Some minor things, but I'll live with it. 420HP makes my day!
I'm 66 this year and have always wanted a jaguar. So in April my daughter gifted me 2016 xf 2ltr.
I love everything about it. The drive is silk.
Well done! Enjoy it
