buy another XF or XFR? I have had a lot of issues with mine and am questioning whether or not 1/ to get rid of this one, or 2/ keep it until the warranty expires and buy something else (2015 Vette), or 3/ buy sex (F Coupe). given my experience with my XFR, I am questioning option #3, or any Jag for that matter.

 

Yes. I bought a second 11 XF Premium because the first one was so awesome.

But I think the XF is much more reliable without the R. I have a Twin Turbo V8 Lotus Esprit for a fun car. I wouldn't want to drive the XFR daily. The super charged and the early XF's seem to be troublesome.

 

CP1, you're having a bad time with the car right now and your confidence is low. All cars have issues. A friend had an 08 535. Had to change the injectors twice! Luckily it was still under warranty.

My Infiniti G35 starting dying for no apparent reason. With a code reader I was able to determine it was a cam position sensor and I fixed it in 20 minutes after grabbing the part and for under $60.

So wait for the diagnosis before you get too excited about anything. And know that whatever else you get could have just as many or more issues.

 

I am leaning toward chevy myself. I've owned many chevrolets from new and never had the issues I have had with the xf. But who knows. Chevy's interior has a cheap look and feel. And there are tons of them on the road. I like not seeing a car that looks exactly like mine driving down the road. Hopefully it will be a few more years until I am ready for that decision and maybe by then all the initial bugs will shake out.

 

>buy another XF

Yes, since I can't get another S-Type!

Unfortunately, time may be running out. I would want a non-R 5.0l but they may be too old by the time my '08 Satin Edition 4.2l S-Type is ready for replacement (currently has on 57k miles).

So welcome to the machine

 

There will always be cream puffs that someone only put 1-2K miles a year on the car. You just have to be patient when the time comes to shop for one.

The cream puffs usually come out of retirement areas like Florida.

I would but for the fact the XE is coming...

 

I plan on replacing my XF with a newer 5.0 car in the next few months.

 

Buy the f coupe . I would if I could.

 

Yep, I've now decided to keep my XFS for another two years a so and buy a manual F-Type coupe when it comes out.

 

I'm 6'4" and there are only a few occasions I envy shorter people...seating on public transportation and sports cars. There are so many cars that I would like to have the option to buy, but I wouldn't be able to drive them for more than 30 minutes if at all. F-Type being one of the not at all :-(

 

My friend at work is 6'9" and an ex NBA player, and he just bought an F-Type coupe. Says he fits fine, and better than most sports cars like the new Vette.

 

Interesting. I made my judgment on the F-Type base on the convertible, so may have to explore the coupe as it sounds like it has more leg room. And I agree about the vette, no possible way to make that work.

By the way, what is your co-workers name? I follow the NBA pretty religiously so I should know him.

 

I Had quite a bit of trouble with my first XF initially (over the first 2 years then second 2 1/2 trouble free) then none with my second, and none with the XKR. I would buy another XF in a flash, say if my wife wanted one. Or an XE, though I'd probably wait until they had been out a year before I did, the first run teething issues take the gloss off.

I have been looking at the f-type at the dealers, personally I prefer the overall shape of the XK and I also prefer the interior of the XK, even though it is getting a little long in the tooth. Which is fortunate because I have the XKR!

 

Just got the call from the dealer. They've had it a week already. A hose had to be ordered before they could even start diagnosing the problems.


The car is a mess: Injectors sticking open at idle dumping fuel, water pump leaking (again), bad control rod (?), split hose on supercharger causing vacuum leak. Bill is currently over 5 grand. Luckily, that's what I paid for the extended warranty.
