Used 2015 Jaguar XF Supercharged 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl S/C 8A) Consumer Reviews
Elegant Beast
I own a 2015 Jaguar XF 5.0 Supercharged. So far I have had no problems, just regular maintenance. I have 41.000 miles and the car is holding up like new. Understand this is a fast car and rarely does traffic understand that equation. This particular model is showing to be a favorite on it's looks alone. I already have people wanting to buy the car from me. turns out the sleeper model is going to show more demand when it comes to resale time. Jaguar did a lot of things right with this one. Go try one out for yourself, they build these cars to sell themselves. make sure the previous owner kept the maintenance up, as with any entry level high performance super car. An additional source you might consider is the Jaguar forum. I had previously owned a BMW M5 and it turned into a money pit. Don't get me wrong I liked the BMW, but I love the JAG.

2015 XF 5.0 Supercharged
I now have 60k miles on it. No issues at all, period. For those saying Jaguar is a lemon, I disagree. I do however think that any brand of cars occasionally has a lemon come off the line and I do agree that American Jaguar dealership service is high brow, expensive and not consistently top quality. With that said, I love my car. It has never let me down. It is serviceable by competent local shops. Personally, i do my own work, except I farmed out to replace the automatic transmission fluid filter. It is a beautiful and comfortable car which, in the v8 supercharged versions, can at least keep up with M5s - you wont be embarrassed. I have owned a lot of american muscle cars, a 2003 RX7 sport, a previous 2006 xkr (no issues over 3 years), a bunch of Lotuses (elise and Exiges)(only issues due to track use), and a Maserati Grand Tourismo (temperamental money pit). The jag is all I could ask for and just as reliable as any recent corvette. My opinion is that it is one of the best in its class for that year, period.

600 HP 4 door family car for 24k!
Was looking to buy a 400+ hp 4 door vehicle to drive my kids to school and retire the 'minivan'. I looked at Jeep STR8 but at $55,000, it's a lot to spend on a 'Jeep'. Looked at Lambos, R8 and even a 911 but the only way to fit my kids in the back was to cut their legs off. So i googled 400+ hp cars and this Jag came up last in Top 10 for some reason, and then it all came crumbling down; Top Gear UK season 13, episode 5 where they test a XRF! After almost buying a 2009 Benz S63 (bad rear main oil leak), i went to Tampa, FL to see a 2015 Jaguar XF 5.0L Supercharged with 62k miles on it. Snow white with 2 tone beige/truffle interior sitting on XFR-S wheels. Price, $24k! Why so cheap i wondered, after googling, most complained about ride quality and MPGs. Ride quality is perfect here in florida, not so good in city like NYC. As for MPGs, i make 22.6 combined after VelocityAP tune for 605bhp/526tq. Before tune i made 24.5 MPGs combined using XFR base ecu file. (XF, XFR & XFR-S all have same drivetrain front to back) Few things that suck: --Ford touched Jaguar and introduced cheap chinese plastic cooling tubes that last few days in a cramped engine bay. --No engine coolant/oil temperature gauge on cluster. --Climate control has a mind of its own. --Sway bars are from a honda civic. --Front bumper should be 6" lower to reduce nose lift at speeds above 160mph. --Adaptive suspension should have Soft/Hard switch like XKR. --NO FRONT FOG LIGHTS! Plenty of fog in England and in Florida, why no front fog lights??? --Infotainment is from 1976, but Jaguar figured that the horsepower will compensate for the snail slow and horrid device. Leapfrog tablet would be much better.. --Body panels don't align well making this XF, not a quality design car for OCD people. --Central locking/anti-jacking system is nice but, when i open drivers door, i want the rest to stay closed! How anti-jacking is this? Also, can't lock vehicle while its running with keyfob outside of vehicle.. WHY NOT??? Leave it running with AC on, lock it, go buy cold beer, come back to a cool car! --Front heated windshield. Why you ask, because we get snow here in south florida, 11 months out of the year.. First thing i did is call Safelite, pay $400 and have a proper windshield installed. BTW, my Jag was sent to south florida straight from Englands factory. --Last one is cheap ford/chinese parts on this Jag like front shock upper mounts disintegrated after just 5 years, steering rack bushings almost gone, rear E-Diff input shaft seal went bad 2 times already. Seal is $30. Line the diff with black silicone and push the seal in 6mm deep. Overall, for $24k it's a bargain, has bunch of things in it that i don't care for but kids love it when daddy floors it and the blower whines while helping them regurgitate their school lunch :)
