2015 Jaguar XF Review and Acceleration

[@MugatuJag]

The First generation XF facelift 2012-2015 is Gorgeous, this obviously is a base 2.0t and while still nice, the higher trim and the Portfolio's are stunning, especially with the sport appearance pack. I had a 2012 5.0 V8 non supercharged and it was fairly reliable, and quick, they still look modern to this day.

[@chrwl007]

Had a 2014 XF 2.2D for a few days as a courtesy car, and the ride is absolutely what you'd expect from a Jaguar sedan. Very smooth acceleration and shifting from the 8-speed ZF automatic. Doesn't feel that big when you drive it, but definitely noticed the size when I parked it in my usual space at work.

[@zsb707]

I bought the same car in 2019 and have loved it ever since.

LOL you do one review and it pretty much blows every other car reviewer I watch out of the water.... Good Job!! A question though, is it RWD?

[@SmurfinWRX]

Haha thanks man!! It's my first review, hopefully next one will live up to your expectations! I think so but I'm not sure. I should try a burn out to find out lol.

[@loudbutslow_z2853]

+SmurfinWRX you should try to get your hands on a 2015 Zo6

[@SmurfinWRX]

Oh yessss

[@chrwl007]

+jdogtheairsofter It is indeed. You do get an AWD option as well, though.

[@alexfarias5156]

Yes is a RWD. Its awesome to drive.

[@hon3ybadg3r14]

My dad has this car and we just went to 90mph on a city street. I am still shaking.

[@gregcy89]

Im 30 and this is my dream car since i was 26 haha If im lucky this year i will accomplish my dream :D

[@rosemaryforaker3859]

gregcy89 lol I had one since I was 16

[@MugatuJag]

@@rosemaryforaker3859 Hey everyone has priorities, the depreciate heavily so pretty much anyone can get approved...

[@preshj0hnson]

Currently selling one. 2012 Supercharged only 30,000 miles

[@Smithy350]

My dad once had the 3.0 diesel engine and it was an absolute rocket ship. It was a 2010 model but still it was a beast. Comfortable car too :)

[@Tallnhairy]

I am 35 and I have a 2011 xf 5.0. And people my age and younger tell me pretty much everyday they love my car. Because it doesn’t look like a old man car. The car has more power then most people need. I think I will be getting a 2015 this weekend cuz I do not like what they did with it in 16.

[@Mrkinghal0]

Adam Hellerud dude I’m looking to get the same car! How’s the reliability?

[@MugatuJag]

are you in the UK? they didn't have the 3.0 in 2011..

[@Tallnhairy]

@@Mrkinghal0 It was my partners and when I met them it had 150k miles ok it and he had never had any major problems. Of course he always took care of it.

[@Tallnhairy]

@@MugatuJag I live in the US and it is a 5.0, sorry for the confusion.

[@bigmacmusic3345]

I drive a 2014 2.2 XF as my work car and I love it! Near enough identical cars. Only thing I dislike is the lack of power.

[@g_p_3431]

Dude definitely do more car reviews this one was pretty damn entertaining and informative. 👍🏼

[@Erick1198NDY]

I'm so glad I found your channel! please do more car reviews!! I like your reviews better than other "professional" car reviewers, great job!!

[@76ers]

I found the seats to be really hard. It wasn't plush/soft. Once you sit on them for 5mins, you get used to it and it's still comfortable.

[@lovehuman431]

Lol old people go for Mercedes or bmw... hella boring Youngsters loves Jaguar or Audi.. Most beautiful badass sedan car of all time

[@SuperV10power]

when did mike get 113,000 subscribers wtf like 1 month ago I could of sworn he was at like 40k......lol

[@renaldonelson970]

I like your tone and vibe in this vid. The only thing that seems to be desired from me out of these v6 xfs is the engine sound and exhaust sound. The 2012 xf was the last year of the base car having a 5.0 , thats the one im gonna get here in a couple weeks!

[@alexy6762]

Agreed

[@renaldonelson970]

i ended up getting a 2012 xf (5.0) by the way and the exhaust overall is pretty quiet, but i guess thats expected this is a luxury sedan afterall. The pickup from the naturally aspirated 5.0 v8 is really nice though i can hardly even use its power since it gets to 60 pretty darn quick for a sedan that weighs 4k pounds

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

Hey Renaldo, did you get your XF?I test drove the 5.0 Supercharged version in the M/E where I work, by Thunder it was fast for such a big car, but it really didn't sound that much louder than my V6 inside, but that V8 Growl was like having a dirty girlfriend!

[@renaldonelson970]

Henry Siegertsz lol. yep i did get my xf. its a little on the quiet side exhaust wise...the actual engine sound when i floor it though is desireable.

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

Cool, enjoy Renaldo!

[@kamran8190]

Fantastic review mike, ive seen many reviews of cars but your reviews are alot better i tink you should do more reviews of cars in your channel and do slammed car reviews it we be soo awesome.

[@SmurfinWRX]

Thanks man! I'll see what I can do. Need some people to give me their cars! Lol

[@carfanfan]

No body roll in my Jaguar XF - but mine is UK spec and the USA always get a softer suspension based on old stereotypes from the 80's and 90's - it's a pity, because the car performs like an Astin Martin on the twisty bits with the Euro suspension settings.

[@TheRealKingVictor]

Alright, first car review to talk about social aspect. SUBSCRIBED.

[@seniorlopez2618]

I've driven one of those, it was my friends car. He mocked me for not knowing where the gearshift was😂

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

I liked the review, but I am a little curious.I never saw you put the car in Dynamic Mode, or Select Sport mode from the gear selector. It looked as though you tried turning the Gear Mode Dial without depressing it to engage Sport.Had you done this you might have discovered stiffening of the suspension, steering and immediate throttle response making the car feel far more aggressive in acceleration and much more dynamic feel to the handling. The missing "Sportiness" you referred to!I've had the same model as tested now for some months, it's a great car to live with as long as you realise that Supercharger makes this a very thirsty cat!

[@Blutwrx]

Awesome review and better done than most top of the line car reviews. Keep them coming 👍

[@SmurfinWRX]

+Blutwrx thanks man! Sounds like you guys want more! I'll try to get my hands on a few cars!

[@Goblinghoulz]

I just got a 2014. And I fuckin love it. It looks dope, it’s clean inside/out and Stands out

[@Fb6_Dude]

by far exactly what we look for when we want to see a car review!👍👌

[@Squench46]

That XF is a lovely car but they don't make that model now. Try to get your hands on the 2016 car - all alluminium, totally new.

[@carmaster6474]

Nice review! You should review the Merc and the Range Rover

[@Kevinpark46]

more car reviews please. i really like what you covered in the vid, plus i like your opinions

[@zstidsen]

...when we pull up in the subaru, they say "hey kid, nice ride mom and dad got you." When we pull up in the range rover, they say "hey kid, do your parents know you got their car?"... all in fun. Lol nice review!

Get a hold of a good old Neon SRT4, I personally really like those cars & I'd like to see you review & get your take on one.

[@jaredguzman7620]

over all i love the new xf but i feel(my own opinion) that the craftsmanship on this car was done good but it's nothing too spectacular and especially for a luxury car,i feel as if my moms 2015 hyundai genesis 5.0 (ultimate) could be a better luxury vehicle then again that;s my opinion. Nice review overall

You have to put it in sport mode to eliminate the body roll

sport mode doesn't do anything to the chassis as it doesn't have air suspension or adaptive dampers....

@@anthony77morris Yes they do but this 2.0 T does not...

@@MugatuJag I never said the 2.0 T did. This car is not a 2.0T it has 190 on the dash. The N/A 5.0s have 170 on the dash. Only the supercharged 5.0s have 190.

[@MugatuJag]

@@anthony77morris You said you have to put it in to sport mode to eliminate the body roll, insinuating that this guy could have eliminated the body roll if he put it in sport mode, you said that as a comment because he said it has a lot of body roll....Also this is definitely a 2.0 T, they did not make the 5.0 naturally aspirated in 2015, they only had the 2.0 T, the 3.0 supercharged, and the supercharged 5.0 and XFR. Notice there is no badge on the trunk, 3.0‘s have a badge, 5.0 supercharged has a badge, XFR has a badge, 2.0ts have no badge. You can tell it’s a 2.0 T while listening to him accelerate, and yes the 2015s 2.0t do say 190 on the instrument cluster.

[@sukhmaidickoff]

+Oldcreepyman100 I´m European too - and I would prefer a good automatic to a manual transmission anytime. A good automatic transmission can give just as much driving pleasure as a manual gearbox.

[@Oldcreepyman100]

Bite Me Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. One time I got benz 190 with Automatic from US and good car,good transmission but drive this car in time boring me. Manual is better for me :)

[@sukhmaidickoff]

+Oldcreepyman100 - Yeah you are right, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just find that very often we Europeans are "dizzing" the Americans for almost exclusively driving cars with automatic transmissions. Personally I prefer a modern automatic transmission, because driving a lot in the town can be a pain in the butt with a manual transmission. However of course there is a big difference between a 20-25 year old automatic transmission and a brand new car with a modern automatic transmission.

[@Oldcreepyman100]

Bite Me Automatic transmission got for me one problem. When the shifts in gearbox crashed it's very painful for your pocket when you must fix :/ I sold my benz when i got crashed. The amount was higher than the price of the car. And this no eco. Engine it's 2,8 liters. On European standards it's very expensive. And important I didn't have a LPG instalation. Because it was impossible.

A lot of body roll? How the hell do you drive it? I've never, ever seen another reviewer or owner complain about body roll, or even mention it. I don't get it in mine any more than any other car I've had, in fact the handling is one of it's best aspects. I don't get that you're complaining about people's perception of you based on the car you drive (around the 5:30 mark) yet you did exactly the same thing yourself early in the video - "this car is not meant to be driven by younger people like us, a lot of older people drive this car", which is complete nonsense, that's just your own perception - it's for anybody who wants it.

[@SmurfinWRX]

You’re pretty upset which I think is funny. You seem a little disconnected from how the young generation views this car and I’m just speaking from my experience living in SoCal. This video is pretty old and it’s still true till this day. Not sure why you’re so upset at someone else’s opinion. Just because you don’t agree with my review doesn’t mean it’s incorrect. My experience with this car is based on other factors. You probably haven’t seen my other driving videos which makes sense from your reaction.

[@severnsea]

@@SmurfinWRX I'm not upset in the slightest, I don't know why you would think that, or why you would find it funny. I simply make a comment stating, correctly, that I've never seen or hard anyone else complaining that this car has any body roll. Just because you don't agree with everybody else doesn't make everybody else incorrect. Your reply doesn't make it clear which aspect of my comment you think I'm upset about, but the second part, where you complained about other people's perception of something you did yourself a couple of minutes earlier in the video is laughable. As for your experience with the car being based on other factors, I don't have a clue what your mean - your experience of the car should be based on driving it and your time with it, nothing else, and nobody should need to watch any more of your videos to have an opinion on this one. Bottom line is if you're making videos and want likes from the public, you're going to have to get used to the idea that not everyone is going to like them or agree with your opinions and take the rough with the smooth. Criticising your viewers opinions is not a good look.
