That turning around for a second look at your own car is such a great feeling for us car enthusiasts

My dad got a 2012 XF-S saloon (all black and nice cream leather) and he is very happy with it. The car has run over 223000 km (over 138000 miles) and still going strong - no reliability issues yet. He previously had many BMW 3 and 5 series, but now he preferes the Jaag! I'm always pretty excited when I'm allowed to drive it. It is a really special car.

[@Rabscuttle3]

Did you say "cream leather"...?! And a bit of woody Allan too?? 😊

[@iR3DEMPTIONi]

That red & black interior with the red exterior goes so well IMO.

[@JasonRowPhotography]

Partly because of this video, I bought myself an XF Sportbrake. Its a 64 plate , 3l V6 XF S, Portfolio spec and Black Edition. Pretty much identical to the car you have here but in black. The only concession to the black are the chrome Jaguar side details and the rear logo. Its an absolute beast, so thanks for the video.

[@normanmayor7806]

Lovely car that , I’m a Jag fan and that’s a particularly nice one , shame about the Garish leather though .

[@paddy4799]

It looks like the leather is like a tarts bedroom on a photo but in real life it’s gorgeous, like mine. Not at all garish

[@acelectricalsecurity]

I currently have an XF, and love it, having had BMW's in the past, which scared the life out of me with it binging and bonging for the least little thing. And I have only spent on servicing and brakes. The BMW's had sensors replaced and other parts replaced. Much prefer the Jag to drive

[@danlee4427]

I have this car in this colour in the 2.2 R Sport sport break in Italian racing red. Everthing you just said was true and backed up all the reasons why I told the Mrs I'm not getting rid of it! 45mpg on the motorway, 27 round town. Looking back for a 2nd look is a daily thing when it's clean, everyone comments on it! It's really got under my skin and I love it! Even looked after me when the tyre blowout on a cold icey Morning! Top video!

[@carfanfan]

Beautiful car. I have an XFR and the X250 XF is definitely the one to go for. Jaguar kept them in production for over 7 years and perfected it like a fine wine.

[@jagman84]

Re: lack of seat travel. When it reaches it's forward limit, try holding the adjuster knob forward for more than 2 seconds. If it continues it's travel there may be a sensor fault. If it moves for half a second, it's in it's inch-by-inch mode. It's a function to prevent the driver being crushed against the steering wheel. Maybe it's a response to the demo graph of the typical Jag owner? (60+ and portly)

[@markw9200]

Great review! As a past owner of the 3.0D saloon, I can agree the costs to maintain are not any higher than anything comparable and they are very reliable and a great drive. Only additional expense you didn't mention that potential purchasers should be aware of is the tendency for the rear discs and pads to need changing around every 25k miles, or sooner if you live in Milton Keynes with all the roundabouts! Go to a specialist rather than a main dealer and save a bundle, still using good quality manufacturer equivalent parts.

[@wanderer7755]

Thanks for the heads up, I am now shopping for one and will ask about this before buying

[@justenough2326]

MY 2.2 doesn't clatter and remapped to 230 it's relatively peppy, with loads of low down Torque. And my 5'3" GF can reach the pedals no worries, just need to adjust the steering wheel position.

We had 2009 XF Portfolio . Loved it . On first road journey to Spain it packed up in France , had it done on warranty. I would not buy an old one with no warranty ,Mobutu loved it and still miss it despite having an excellent Lexus which is super reliable

[@pauldavies3764]

Comprehensive road test. I bought one a year ago and it really is a lovely car,luxurious,sporty,refined,economical and well built. Give me a Jag over a Big Money Waster any day!

[@BeatPoet67]

Jaguar knocked it out of the park with the design of this. The proportions are just about perfect from every angle. Been looking for a nice fast practical car up to 20k. 330d's up to 535d's and now the Jag is starting to nag at me. Bloody cars...

[@gold_bars]

I bought my first XF S in 2017 and it was written off for me by a driver at a cross junction (I only owned it for 6 months!). Since then, I've gone on to own an A8, IS250, S80, A5...but nothing ever came as close to the XFS. Happy to say I now have an XF S again :D

[@mikebetteridge196]

I have a late 2013 3.0 litre XF Sportbrake Premium Luxury, which I have owned for over 4 years. Apart from regular servicing, replacement parts - tyres, brake pads etc., it has never given me any major problems. It's comfortable, handles well for a big car, fast when you need it and spacious enough to carry 2 large dogs in the boot. And, as you say, a good looking car that stands out in the crowd...what's not to like!

[@deanhall28]

Owned the same model shown now for a few years and have loved it. No major issues, great form long and short trips etc. Did change the wheels down to the 19" ones to smooth out the ride as the 20" wheels are just too thin and easy to damage. Found all the old wheels were already slightly buckled due to potholes. One massive thing I was surprised you missed was the rear self levelling air suspension. This why it took so long to come out after the saloon as it was redesigned to be a dedicated estate rather than a saloon with a big bum. Did bring me some joy when speaking to guy who just brought a brand new £80k+ BMW 7 series, who was bragging about how it was one of the only cars with air suspension and how he would never go back now. So just lifted the boot cover and told him "yeah its nice, only paid 20k for mine though" ha ha.

[@jonesie1976ify]

You're right, there is something about the xf that is missing from the BMW and audi, it looks awesome in that colour, great video 👍

[@SkyBlueJim222]

I owned two XF's the old 3.0V6 and the 2018 2.0 - I loved the 3.0 and sold the 2.0 within 6 months. I loved the mid range overtaking power of the V6 it was effortless and pulled like a train. Tech was the only thing that let it down as a bit dated.

[@simonbennett9687]

I’ve had my 2014 one since it was just over a year old and *every time* I walk up to it I love how it looks and am excited to drive it.

[@jacobriley5407]

Beautiful cars, rather have this over any German car. Looks stunning, sporty while classy. I remember going in a workmates xf sv8 when he first bought it few years back, truly awesome cars.

[@pauldavies3764]

Two and half yr ownership has been a pleasure. Two oil and filter services,changed all belts at 80k,one alternator and one water sensor in fuel filter. Recently took it 500 mile and averaged 54mpg,38mpg local. Leak in tailgate is easily cured by removing bumper,lights and putting bead of silicone around louvre rubber seals. Would love a f type but difficult to get rid of a car so reliable and pleasurable to own! Totally agree with Matt's honest review of this model.

[@ChrisCarline]

These are great cars, I had a 2013 2.2 litre model I bought in 2016 and sold last year. Nothing significant went wrong with it, although it did want to be serviced regularly. An unexpected bonus was that most parts were pretty cheap to replace (at least when compared to it's German rivals). Great review!

[@HighPeakAutos]

Good point

[@JohnLyle]

Will you stop it! I was straight onto autotrader AGAIN!

[@r7coo]

Same here

[@wanderworld]

I own a Saab 9-3 2.2 TiD which I bought from new in 2002. I adore it, literally everything about it. I tried to replace it a bunch of times over the years, even buying other cars, but I never let it go and always ended up missing it and going back to driving it, selling off the newer car. I had basically given up on being able to replace it with anything that I could actually afford, but watching your "Should you buy a Jaguar XF" video made me stop and think about it. I went and saw a few, test drove a couple and fell absolutely in love with a 5.0 normally aspirated Premium Luxury from 2011. It has really low mileage, is as clean as a whistle and comes with most of the upgrades (except USB, which was weird!). Luckily, my wife fell in love with it, too and we have been enjoying owning it for the past three months now! I still have the Saab, in fact I sent it to my mechanic for a month's holiday to get it back to "as new" condition and while I still genuinely adore it, I am not driving it often at all. Getting to the point, thank you for your videos and the advice that you give. I am not in the market for a car now, at least not for a while, but I continue to watch them to support the channel as I really appreciate the help that you gave me in uncovering this absolute gem of a car, a car that I would never have even thought of had you not made that video. To anybody else considering an XF, go and get one. If you can find a reasonably low mileage, good history, clean, high spec one with, if possible, the 5.0 under the bonnet. A simply stunning engine and not quite as expensive to run as you might think, as long as you drive it with a little love and respect (most of the time!)

[@MrRicardo11]

Love Jags and I think the older XF looks much better. The New Jags could carry any badge they're getting so anonymous looking. And for the money I'd rather buy a Jag than pay more for a new Ford Fiesta. . Nice car that one you have . 😎

[@richardfreeman7027]

I have one of these. Exactly the same, model, colour, year, engine and trim. I think it is the best car I have ever owned and agree with everything he says. It is all you would expect from a Jaguar. I didn't but it because I needed the space, I bought it because I think it looks absolutely stunning. I still do and I still look back and admire it as I walk away and have had it well over a year! That says it all.

[@MP-fw4ub]

Had mine for five years to the day today, love it as much now as when I collected it. Choice of tyres makes a huge difference to feel and driving experience, it does tend to eat them.

[@pedrorenard8439]

Beautiful looking car and on my list. I’m hanging on for twelve months and hopefully pick up one of the new 2021 sport brakes used with the tech upgrade...even more beautiful, especially in grey or electric blue with the black pack and panoramic roof. I also like the fact that although it’s not rare, the Jag just stands out as being a little more exclusive than your Audis and BMWs which are seemingly everywhere.

[@cjwl1]

I have a Jaguar XE top spec petrol. It drives beautifully and is my 4th Jaguar. having watched this i may well change her for the Sportbrake as i need a bigger boot - the one big downside of an XE is its 'mini' boot!. Watch all your videos as i feel you give a very balanced view. Sadly i live in Dorset so a bit far to come (when i am allowed to of course!) PS i have never has issues with any of my Jags, new or brought second hand.

I reckon this is the best looking car in its class. My neighbour has one and I hope to buy it from him. I love the soft and supple leather seats and dashboard. The performance on tap is ample. It feels special inside which can't be said with the German rivals in its class.

[@pawelandrzejewski-healy6325]

Very common issue other than failing door locks (two of which were repaired on mine) is a leaking windscreen washer pump which causes major electrical issues by allowing washer fluid to travel by capillary action into the body control module located in the driver's footwell. Always check the multi-plug connectors that plug into this module for signs of corrosion if you're buying a facelifted Mark I XF (late 2011-2015) as it is a common fault and Jaguar has issued a tech bulletin on same. If caught in time, a new washer pump should sort it. Otherwise, it's a replacement module + wiring + re-progamming costs. Jonathan

[@cq4263]

Enjoyed watching. I bought same car over 2 years ago. Love it. I noticed you didn’t have the heated steering wheel option that I thought was a gimmick but when cold I use all the time. Only annoying thing is the 20” wheels don’t like pot holes and buckle. I have a tyre that keeps gradually deflating due to a flat spot, that also causes a slight vibration in the steering wheel. I get about 34mpg generally and up to 40 on a decent run.

You are correct about the newer model interiors. I've had a 2010 and 2014 XF-S and both were streets ahead of the equivalent newer versions inside. The new design is also less attractive. Seems to me that Jag went mass market with it to attract 5 series owners and it therefore suffered.

It has way more power than you would ever need on the road, I dont have to worry about where I park it and most importantly because it is so cheap I don't look at it with resentment (like I did a lot of my old cars) due to how much it is costing me every month.

That really is a good looking car and looks fun to drive. Reliability wise - my X-Type estate has 130K+ miles, is 12 years old and (touch wood) drives like a dream. No 'big issues' so far, just as reliable, if not more so, than any other car I've ever had. Sails through MOTs. Looks great. Drives great. Solid brand. It just works and I look forward to getting in it every time I do - like a little kid. But older and fatter. Me, not the car. I never found a Werther's Original in it, but I did find a golf course pin badge. Close enough.

I like the X Type estate

[@chriscullen5933]

Nice to see one of these "executive" car in a colour other than Black/Grey etc like the rest of the German line up - and the Gentleman's club seats really lift the interior from old man to young man's car. (ok Daddy Wagon)

[@nigelchambers4133]

"Irish Jockey" just brilliant

[@AndyK.1]

Maybe they have electric pedals ?

[@TheJustaviewman]

They would like the horsepower.

[@casualagent7250]

Lol 🙂

I would compare the BMW 5 series with a secretary, the Jaguar XF is the hot as hell Secretary

@@dailyhunter3683 he didn't say if it was male or female. 🤔

Only the 5 series can cook you a good meal.

Once again, a great review. You have managed to review all the cars I am looking at replace my currently VW cc. The A7, XJ or one of these, hopefully at some point this year I will take the plunge and actually purchase one. Thanks a lot for the reviews, keep up the good work.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks for watching

[@jamesfranklin9474]

I have the exact same model but in black, best car I have ever owned, most reliable and much better handling than my 5 series saloon was. Great video and look forward to more

[@HighPeakAutos]

Pleased to hear it

[@AudiophileStooge]

they didn't sell this in the US and I wished they did... I love it!

[@jeffreyfinkelstein2738]

They did tough! I think 2020 was the last year. I’m shopping them now actually

[@anatharp1799]

They did! Bought a 2018 almost a year ago. Absolutely love it! Only sold about 250 in US from 2018-2020. Needless to say I have not seen another one on the road yet.

[@tonymaia7498]

I’ve just bought a 2013 Jaguar XF V6 premium luxury and am going to collect it next weekend. My first Jag and hoping I’ve done the right choice. Would of bought the v6s but was over my budget. As nervous as I am with the choice I’ve made, I am looking forward to it.

[@cb3580]

How’s it going 10 months in?
