[@1005wiking]

There is one thing Jaguar really knows, and that is to make suspension setups. Nobody can match their combination of comfort and sportiness. At the end of the day these cars are made to drive on the road and not on the track.

[@rp6523]

Yes, they hit the nail right on the head. A comfortable car that you can enjoy a spirited drive in 👌🏼. Oh, and looks like it was designed by someone with a pulse.

[@christianolsson834]

Agree. The s type is awesome. Both firm AND plush. Plus excellent balance in corners. Wont compete with a Ferrari F8 but id rather sit in the Jag on longer journeys though. Horses for courses.

I just bought the 2020 XE- the blacked out sports edition. I was sick of Lexus and their poor tech inside the car (great outside). I’m crazy happy with my Jag! Great video. I’m jealous of your blue XE-that was my first choice

Great to hear! Thank you, it’s a great colour.

[@mahadoshariif4911]

Me too i have 2018 darkblue

[@simonpotter4974]

Thank you for both your reviews. I bought a 2017 XE 25T R Sport at the end of January 2020. It was a demonstration model with all the extras you mention, including premium DAB radio, infrared reflective W/screen, Sliding Panoramic Roof, Heated Seats, Heads-Up Display, Black Pack,19" Venom Black and Grey Spoke Wheels. It has Sports interior Jet with Oyster stitch Mesh Seats. It had 8000Kms on the clock and now has just over 10,000. I went on a driver training day three weeks ago and apart from a BMW 330 with M bits, it was the quickest car there. The handling is very impressive, and to say to that I am happy is understandable. Just saw Harry's Garage reviews of the XE P8 SVO. What a car!

[@ForTheDrive]

Sounds like you picked up a great spec, congratulations! Glad you’re happy with it, yeah the P8 is another world!

[@SGHtech]

Glad to see you still have this. I watched all the content you made on it when I was looking at buying an XE. Fully intended to get the same model you did but left the dealer with an XE S haha. It’s a bit thirstier than I’d like, but the V6 just sounds so good.

[@ForTheDrive]

Tbh if they had a V6 at the right price when I went to buy mine, I would have walked out with the S a happy man but at the time the price difference was far too much in my opinion. The sound and power is worth the MPG though wouldn’t you say? 😊

[@SGHtech]

For The Drive haha, I keep telling myself it is. I try not to have the live mpg on screen, in dynamic mode it’s very often showing 1 mpg when having fun 😂. But on long journeys it’s actually not that bad. I just need an excuse to go on more long journeys. I should try and go along to a car club some time.

[@rf8481]

Bought a former dealer loaner 2020 XE S 2.5 AWD for my wife and I took it out for a spin and I found the engine to be very responsive (as good as my supercharged V6 in my F Pace when in Dynamic and S mode) and the car just handles so well, it is a total joy to barnstorm in on country lanes or the curves around town. With the newer posher interior from the F Type, the 2020 was a no brainer especially with the 6 year 100 K miles CPO warranty from Jaguar USA and (wherein the warranty tolls from the in-service date as a loaner and not the in-service date at the JLR dealership) and it comes with the Elite Care free maintenance & roadside assistance for 5 years. Everyone should drive an XE once in the USA because it is so much more fun to drive than a BMW, Audi or MB. Honestly, the looks alone make it a winner but once you sit in it and throw it about, you will buy on the spot if you can find any CPO cars in the entirety of the USA - about 2 per month is what comes up on web sites nationally. Just happened to see one at my local dealer 4.3 miles away and jumped on it like a duck on June bug. Can't believe most people prefer Audis, BMWs and MBs to this car. Screw the back seat, it is for dogs (American Akitas, who like it just fine, as they also like the back seat in the F-Pace). Nothing like driving a Jag with the back windows rolled down so a 140 LBS unaltered male American Akita show dog with a bear sized head can stare at the soulless Teutonic competition at red lights. Bravo Zulu Jaguar. Every big dog needs a big kitty.

[@ForTheDrive]

Thanks, glad I can help! The TDI box is always in 7 which is most powerful, still offers better average MPG than stock. I try to put in better fuel when I can but not always possible but it’s fine.

I’m glad to hear that I helped you decide what to buy! I hope it serves you as well as mine has.

[@josephhall7317]

What about long term? I traded in my 2019 Chevy Malibu for a 2019 Jaguar xe 25t with no prior knowledge of Jaguar really and paid a $5,500 difference, the Jaguar has 55k miles, Malibu had 52k, hoping this car will last some years, probably longer than the Malibu I traded in would have because the Malibu has a CVT transmission

[@Fafnir53]

Been running my 2017 2.0d for over 5 years now. No, it doesn't sound as nice as the gas engined ones, but it's SO cheap to run (well, diesel is now $2.60/liter here, so maybe it's not that cheap). Still love it.

[@williamdunn9053]

I’m so nervous!! I just bought a 2017 XE with the Supercharged V6, 80,000 miles. I live in the middle of nowhere so I’m about 500 miles from the nearest dealer. They are VERY rare and have a cult following where I live so hopefully I made a good choice

Independant Jaguar specialist is the best way to, I have halted my servicing cost but still have access to everything Jaguar do, I have been fortunate with my car but I know others have had reliability issues.

[@Bignewmo]

What's everyone's experiences with the reliability of the xe?

[@inquisitive1911]

Good reliability, however watch the puddles, as they can render your Power steering defunct. Diagnostics / Jaguar will always state that a (£4K+) new steering rack is required, purely for water ingress ... however it is not necessary at all. There is a plastic box at the end of the steering rack. It just needs dried out and waterproofed with some waterproof fabric, tied with tie wraps, plus steering recalibrated. - This did the trick for me, after a local diagnostics firm collected my vehicle on the recovery truck and let me know this. Job done. Steering is 100% great now. Love from Scotland, X.

Here in the states what they don't know won't hurt them. Not like they are going to pay for the mods I done if it gets totaled. Just kbb value stock so why would you tell them anything?

We can hear a f... thing of what you're saying. A lot of road noise for a luxury car.
