"Great Performance Vehicle" on by Vlad1487
Pros: If your looking for a car that stands out from the herd and listens to you completely in terms of performance then this is it look no further.
Cons: The mirrors on the car only fold about 10 degrees in which is basically almost like not folding. The wheels on the car are great I suggest not upgrading to 19 or anything higher in terms of rim size.
Summary: Great car beautiful drive even better acceleration rate.
Its really good I only wish they had the option of adding an invisible shield on the bumper and having chrome side of the car.
The barks on the car are the most sensitive I have ever felt. I have driven mercedes S, E class, beemers, Bently's and maserati. The car has a beautiful interior cabin with a touch of luxury that reminds you of wine tasting elegance type of feeling. -
"Best Luxury Cruiser of its Class" on by ImperialOne
Pros: Have an '09 Supercharged XF. Lots of low-end torque makes the car as nimble as its namesake. The driving experience, especially using the paddle shifters, is superior to the BMW M5, Audi A6, and Infiniti M45 (all of which I have driven extensively).
Cons: The rear pillars impair visual blind spot viewing.I agree the folders for imported audio from an iPod should have been organized better. Speech recognition is a tad slow, perhaps it expects the Queen's English instead of hackneyed American?
Summary: Actually a good value when compared to other vehicles in the class. The XF has a very modern look that may have some Jaguar purists rolling over in their graves, but it is the way the brand needs to go if they want to survive. I actually got this vehicle at a substantial discount because an older physician, who always buy Jaguars, returned it.. citing it was too "modern" for him. he spent another $20,000 and got a new XK Vanden Plas(!)

"A distinctive and sexy luxury sport sedan" on by zpsman
Pros: Amazingly good combined city/highway gas mileage-21 for an 8 cylinder engine, Head turning body styling, beautifully complex exterior lines, lots of leather aluminum and wood, ample interior cabin headroom, std 60/40 split folding back seats
Cons: Soft brake pads result in excessive brake dust that needs to be cleaned daily off of the wheels, some concern about fit and finish as well as quality of the car as this is the first year of this new jaguar model
Summary: Love that there are so few of these cars on the road. Feels like you are driving an expensive exotic car like an Aston Martin at a third of the price. A great value for the money compared to peers like the Mercedes E-class, Audi A6 and BMW 5 series.

"Fun to drive, looks great" on by bbbcase
Pros: Great transmission, classy interior, plenty of power
Cons: Sluggish in "drive", keyless entry system could be improved
Summary: This car looks and drives great. It has the smoothest shifting auto transmission I've ever driven, and very fast as well. The pickup is a bit slow in D, but put it in Sport mode and it flies. The interior blows away Lexus, Merc, and BMW and it looks great on the outside.
Only complaint - the base model doesn't have full "keyless" entry, you need to use the fob to lock/unlock. Even with the keyless upgrade it doesn't have an option to lock automatically. The keyless system on my '06 vette was much better.
