Used 2010 Jaguar XF Sedan Consumer Reviews
16 months of pure joy
Bought my car last year, haven't had any problems, vastly more reliable than my Volvo. Love the looks, comfort, and general feeling of being special. Not so many on the road so folks take notice. Good highway gas mileage, 27- 28 if I'm cruising at a relaxed pace of 70 mph. Can't help wondering how much better the 5.0 liter engine would be.
A few nits, but an outstanding car.
I came out of an Infiniti M35x and did extensive research and test drove the competition (E550, 5 series, M37). It wasn't even close. Yeah, the M37 had more technology, but didn't drive as well & had much less power. The BMW is great if I was on a track, but a non- starter if I wanted to be comfortable on long road trips on Wisconsin roads. The E550 had a magnificent interior and ride, but I didn't like the exterior styling. Minutes after taking the M37 for one last test spin, I took the Jag 5.0 out again. It's one of the few cars I've ever driven that got the adrenalin pumping (in Sport Mode). Great performance is on par with anything in its class, and it's much sexier looking.

Different is Good
Looked at E550, 550i, and M56 before buying the XF. Power is awesome, faster than the factory reported 4.9 to 60. Great design and different from BMW/Merc, really gives a sense of luxury and yet is a total sleeper in performance. My only concern in buying the Jaguar was reliability - no problems to report after a month though so maybe the demons are history. Super smooth ride but also handles well. The hockey puck transmission shifter is really a good idea, takes up a lot less room - why do you need a big stick on an automatic? Navigation and touchscreen are a bit slow and dated, but I don't use them much so not bothersome. No buyers remorse here, I'd buy again and recommend the XF highly.
No Leaper Required
My fourth Jag and by far the most fun to drive. Leaper is fine for the XJ series but looks out of place on this one. Drives like a true sports sedan and looks better than the BMW, Benz and Audi models. Initial quality for the first 70 days has been disappointing. Second day after purchase back at the dealer for engine light and last week a first for the dealer as the electronic parking brake engaged and refused to disengage causing the back wheels to lock. Dealer prompt on repairs but Jaguar Roadside told me I had to figure out how to get home when the car was towed, not a fun experience. At the end of the day, Jaguars are like problem children, we usually wind up forgiving them.
Mixed Feelings
My husband really loves the look of the new XF style. The car performs well and looks cool inside and out. However, it is difficult to start the car sometimes with this keyless technology. There has been one recall on the car already. Now the gas gauge on the dashboard does not work. The Jaguar service is really poor, at least where I live. For the price of the car and the service I received, I am not sure I would lease another Jaguar again.
