Thinking of buying an XF, Premium package; for my wife. Seems like a nice car. Is this a good model? No problems?

 

I am wondering the same thing, I am thinking about trading my XJ in for a leased XF.

 

XF is a great car, it might be a step down from the XJ, but I do not think so. I have had few mechanical issues. The issues I have had were with the 19 inch wheels that have a tendancy to be very soft (they do not like road "irregularties"). Apparently the rear brakes have a very short life span, the pads need replacing between 15 and 20,000 miles, which apparently is "normal".

The car is a blast to drive, holds the road well in dynamic mode, and causes stares whereever you go. Drive it and you'll see what I mean. My only regret was not getting the supercharged model, next time....

 

I only have several hundred miles on my XFR, but love it. If you are considering an XJ, note that the new, updated XJ model is very much like the XF, only bigger and more expensive (sort of like the 7 series BMW is to their 5 series).

Also, have you seen this video? YouTube - ‪Jaguar XFR review - Top Gear - BBC‬‏

 

XF used S Type parts according to my knowledge ,correct me I'm wrong . I once was inside XF , totally lovely interior ,I like auto air vents a lot

 

We purchashed my wife's XF Premium in December, 2010. She was going from an XJ8 to the XF. She absolutely loves the XF. If possible it even has a better ride. The only issue we have had is a rattle in the moonroof or headliner. We took it to the delaer and they replaced the clips and it has been flawless ever since. It is great car.

 

One of my favorite reviews on Top Gear. Ever.
"If you don't stick to 155, we shall jolly well wright to Daily Telegraph about it!"
Also, it doesn't hurt that the XFR they tested is the same color combo as your car

 

Saw the vid, thanks. Took my wife to test drive, bought her a white one. She loves it! Stayed away from the super, not sure she needs that much :-O love the ride & elegance.
