Test drove a Jag XF this w/e - better than the German competition

[BolshieBastard]

The XF's a good car. Had a look at a new model before I went for the bimmer convertible.

In the end, there was no competition, the XF just wouldnt put the same smile on my face when driving it.

Not convinced as to reliability of the XF though plus it is a big car, bigger than I need.

Have you sold your Aygo or something?

[Peoplesoft bloke]

What is the equivalent? Did you drive the 3.0 V6 or 5.0 V8? Either way my beemer is frugaller (sp?), faster, more power, better emissions, cost a bit more though but is much better looking (I think the XF is an ugly car, YMMV.) The new version, which you can see in Geneva, and comes out in October is even better...

Just keep on chanting that mantra - you must believe at all cost Deutschland Uber Alles

sasguru makes me laugh.

He bangs on constantly about Japanese reliability (and there is no doubt the Japs make the most reliable cars in the world) and then talks about buying an Indian Jaguar.

Got to love his "logic" in making decisions.

Bless 'im.

Well I don't know about long term reliability - but the interior and ride are far better than the equivalent BMW. Build quality seems good too. Looks far better than Teutons.
I really do think this Jag is a step change and this series of Jags is the best ever.

You watch it depreciate and also have issues with a few miles under its belt. You're right, even bimmers can't match that pace

Yeah, until you pull up alongside a bog standard 335d.

Oh, they do eh? I might show more interest if I get some work...

[sasguru]

Wot, no diesel?

3.0L v6

[Jeebo72]

Innit, plenty quality and mush fastness.

Seriously though, even you would give up your Beemers - this is the best car in its class by a mile.

I do like jags. Esp the interiors. But if you've ever owned a XKR and then a M3,SL55 there's no competition. As only 2 out of those 3 i was happy to take to the south of france, knowing I'd get back!

You can't beat Indian engineering.
