Muscle car for older man
This is the best handling best driving full size car since my 1970 MB 300sel 6.3 sedan. Anyone who knows that car knows what I am talking about. So take your super cadis, hemi 300's and keep them, the new cool is a cat and thankfully not a ford cat.
XF Supercharged Roadrunner
This is my 6th Jag, yeah, they depreciate like a lead brick, and worst of all the hourly rate at Jag dealers now is $200 per hour, or more. That is crazy. So, if you decide to get one of these beauties, here is my advice after driving Jaguar XJ, S Type, and XF's since 2004: Pay very close attention to the maintenance history, by far the most important component when considering a preowned Jag. Never buy one new, unless you can throw over $20K out the window after driving out of the lot. Find a quality certified wrench who can work on your Jag keeping the maintenance up to date. They are very reliable cars when maintained properly. My favorite Jag of all time was my 03 XJ8, followed by my current Jag, an 09 XF Supercharged, the last year of the 4.2 V8, the best V8 Jag has ever made, and in my opinion one of the best in the world period. I traded my 2017 XF with the 3.0 Supercharged V6, which was an awesome highway driver as well and very reliable. However, the 2009 XF Supercharged is special. It really is an incredible car, especially on long trips. I bought mine in January 2022 with 24K miles and it will turn 40k miles after my next trip in a couple weeks. The car simply is amazing on the open road and gets 23-25 MPG on the highway at 80-85MPH. So far the only two things that have occurred are the window motor failing at 13 years old, and the push gas cover getting stuck. Pay a a good wrench to fix your window motor and it will cost you under $400. Go to the dealer and it will be close to $900, which is pathetic. Buy some Silicone spray for the gas cover, it will save you $320 or more. The stereo system in the 09 Jag XF Supercharged is the best stock car stereo I have ever experienced in a car. Mechanically, the engine for me thus far has been bulletproof, and it is the 3rd Jag I have owned with the 4.2 V8, the other two engines were the 4.0 V8 in the 03 XJ8 and the 3.0 in the 17 XF. Bottom line, if you do not know a good private service center to take your Jag, do not buy the Jag. There are several people who have put 190,000 miles, 250,000 miles and one even crossing 300,000 miles. Synthetic oil changed regularly along with the brake fluid, tranny fluid, and fuel filter will result in an engine that purrs a long, long time. Mine is 14 years old now and in 2 weeks I am driving it 13 hours to my hometown, nothing like a Jag on the highway! The feel of this car at 80+ mph is exhilarating, like the car is begging you to keep the petal down, they run all day and night at 80+, I know because it has been done in my Jags numerous times

XF Supercharged
Traded in an 04 XJ8, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Before buying the XF, I drove the following: Acura RL, Lexus GS 460, Infiniti M45, BMW 550, and Merc E550. In performance, styling and handling, the XF is as good or better than any of the others. It really shines in the interior; simple, understated, and luxurious. Have had only a couple of minor problems, including a bad battery. The dealership has been very helpful even made a lease payment for me for the inconvenience. So far, the finest car I have ever owned, and incredible value for the money.
Jove my XF
I drove Q45's for 10 years. I tried this car on a whim and fell in love with it! Great looking. Excellent ride. No mechanical problems. A little worried about snow condition driving. Highly recommended. Great value for the money!
Great car but lots of troubles
The supercharged engine is fantastic. Push the pedal and go! But, in the first year it has been in the shop so many times. AC O ring failed in first month - 2 weeks in shop. Screen locks up - have to disconnect battery repeatedly. Battery power failure - loose connection finally found in console. Rubber hood support bumpers fall off in Las Vegas heat. Front tires have inner wear that ends tire life early - why? Maintenance costs $150 for oil change and $450 for 20k service. Rear brakes wear out in 13k miles - considered normal but another $400. If you get one of these, be prepared to spend a lot to keep it up. It is a fantastic car, but not cheap.
