Used 2013 Jaguar XF Consumer Reviews
Best value in class
I test drove all the competing vehicles in this class including the A-6 and the BMW 5 series. No other vehicle had the same level of trim, performance and outright fun factor for anything close to the price. In fact, in most instances, the cost was several thousands more. The only drawback is that it does not have a 4-wheel drive option, which can be an issue in the Northeast, especially this past winter. Nevertheless, I would not trade it for any of the 4-wheel drive options out there.
I Love My Beastly Beauty
Bought my 2011 Jaguar XF Premium in late February and I already have 11K miles on it. I just can't seem to stop driving this car. Performance is stellar, comfort is better than the competitors in this class. I test drove the 2011 Jaguar XF, the 2011 Mercedes E550, E350, Infinity, Audi A6, BMW 530 and 2011 Ford Taurus SHO and had to go back for another test drive of the XF Premium. The XF Premium really did it for me. I like to think of my Premium as "Beauty and the Beast" beautiful in that it causes Audi, BMW, Infinity and Mercedes drivers to do double-takes, and beastly enough to leave them looking at my tail-pipes while they are doing their double-takes.

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.
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!
Brain dead screen control
The navigation,audio control is much worst than fussy. Some British engr. must work real hard to make this hard to use. e.g.AM/FM change takes 3 buttons push. You need to select "audio" menu ,small"+" sign. Most radio can do it in one push. "zoom in"/"zoom out" need bar pop up in 1/3 of screen. Block some map. select + or -, than remove the bar. Most GPS simply put 2 small button on corner of map. Volume control will blank screen show a level change for about 4 seconds. All other information will not be visible during this time.
