Very Nice .....
Brother-in-Law came around this afternoon ....
. . . . . . ..... in his brand new 3.0 Litre V6 Jaguar XF :eek: Bloody hell ... it's like a Rolls Royce inside, cream leather, the air vents turn around when engine started .... really fancy piece of kit. He looked at the options list and said, "Yes please - put everything on it!" Flash git!! Beautiful car ... makes my 10 year old Scooby and 15 year old MX5 look, well, OLD!! |
I wasnt sure about those XFs when I saw them, but what a car they are!

I love these XF's. Maybe consider for next car in 18 months or maybe i'll be a bit young for one at 27
|
He bought it new? what an idiot lol
|
Only 3.0 V6, going to be quite slow for a car of that size :(
|
Post up some pics and let us decide !

One of the original series of STi's is a particularly good car, well built from the engineering sense too.
Jaguars have always produced nice cars too. Les |
There is something rather nice about big jags.:cool:

I really like this car - and yes it is very luxurious inside and a blast to drive.
Quite slow though - the 3.0 I went out in only did 0-60 in 5.9s ;) |
The diesel 3 litre XF with sports pack is just :norty:
It may "only" do a 0-60 in 6 secs but once on the move it will embarrass many a Scoob. Interior is lush and full of gadgets and electrotickery, which can cause a few niggles. Driver position and balance are spot on, although the steering is a bit soft. I tried to justify one for the company this year and failed, but hopefully it'll appear in 2011. nick |
Stunning things, Jag really turned it round after the S Type which was too retro, case in point is that 27 year old blokes are considering one, not 55 year olds only.
|
Sadly I am nearer the latter than the former and we are thinking of getting one to replace the 530d.
The Jag dealer people are MUCH nicer than the BMW dealer people. |

It's a great car - the new 3.0 diesel is a cracker - 275bhp (less than the 35d unit) but 445lbs/ft (more than the 35d unit). I quite fancy an LR Disco with that unit but it would break down constantly.
|
I'd have one in an instant, but just don't want the cost and running costs.
scooby is ridiculous as it is. lovely lovely car. |
A little bit small inside but a very nice car and the dealer would not let me test drive one aswell ,choose the e class as much more room and more toys.
|
The running costs are very low while under warranty. Just a £250 service every year and tyres.
43 mpg appears to be a bit optimistic though. I was also impressed by the auto 6 spd gearbox. Nice adaptive trickery with smooth, quick changes and paddles if you want fun. Headroom was a bit low getting in and out was my only real complaint. The parking pack is an essential option as rear visibility is zero. Again parking guidance trickery makes things a doddle. |
