Used 2011 Jaguar XF Consumer Reviews
New Brakes Every 10k miles
Every since I was a little kid I dreamed of owning a Jaguar. Well that day came true and I can't believe how disappointed I have been with this car. Getting this car may perhaps be the worst decision I have every made! First off... brakes squeak all day long. You know the sound of a crappy old NY cab. Well the cab is more tolerable believe it or not. Then to top it off you'll be dishing out $600 to $1,000 every 10k miles to have them replaced. Also the electronics are a joke. Hard to give specifics because that would take all day. Let's just say... it must be running on an old version of Windows 98. Don't even bother getting satellite radio installed because it will go out every 3 minutes.
Nice looking but awful reliability
I decided to lease this car because of it's sleek looks and nice interior. However, after having this car only a week, the famous Jaguar reliability came through...with less than 500 miles on the odometer, the car conked out in the middle of the Long Island Expressway! Needless to say, I'm lucky to be writing this right now. The car was a complete lemon. The sensor to the fuel pump told it that I had no gas, even though there was almost half a tank so the fuel pump shut down. Absolutely horrible experience...I don't even want to look at another Jag.

Love This Car!
I just leased the 2010 XF luxury in Porcelain with the tan interior. It is gorgeous and I've received a ton of compliments. I had the dealer paint the back bottom bumper piece the same Porcelain color and it looks SWEET! (It comes with that piece unpainted). The XFR is the only model that comes from the factory with it already paint matched. Worth the extra $200. I also got the dealer installed Chrome Package which comes with 18 chrome wheels, Chrome side air vents, chrome rearview mirror covers and dark tinted windows. This makes the car stand out from the pack. CHECK THIS CAR OUT!
Long time owner but finally gave up
This was my first jag. I originally wanted something that could fit 4 comfortably, was unique and fast. Didn’t take long for the XF to come up in my Google search back in 2012. Unfortunately, there was very little history with this model back then but I still took a chance. Here I am 8 years later and I’ve just sold my favorite* car to drive. *but the MOST unreliable. I cannot overstate this. I have never had a car in the shop so much as my Jag. You name it and it broke down; usually at the worst times. If I could extract the unreliable nature from my experience with this car, it would be 5 stars all day long. The performance and handling of this car were second to none. The Supercharged is a BEAST with an elegant look. I can’t tell you how many LOUD egotistical Mustang drivers I left in the dust!! Even the Cobra’s. Didn’t matter if it was off the line or from a 60 mph “start”. There were even some sub Z06 vette’s i saw in the rear view. BUT....sigh... at the end of the day, I finally sold it (yesterday) after far too many breakdowns. The horrible (but laughable) part was within 5 minutes after selling it, the new owner called to ask why the trunk cap had fallen off - I wanted to say it’s because it’s a Jag you idiot - but she’ll figure it out eventually.

Jag Electronics-Really?
The electronics were designed by a cave troll. Here are just a few examples of the insanity. iPod has 4000 songs. Plug it in and control of the unit switches to the touch screen. No alpha search on the touch screen even though the iPod does have search, which you now can't access. Want to hear some ZZ top? Scroll thru the entire catalog 20 songs at a time. Three dealers say, "that's just the way they are." Next, can't use nav while moving, in contrast to most of the competition. But you can check your voice mail messages or scroll thru your iPod on the touch screen going 80 mph. So one is safe and one isn't? And, it wallows like a pig when you flex the suspension. Hate it!
