The car is comfortable and quick. It is returning about 8L/100km in highway driving, and I expect that will improve over time. The AWD is definitely rear biased, that is a difference from the MB 4matic system, where it was more neutral. The S/C 3.0 engine has plenty of power on tap, and the AWD puts it down really well on wet or dry. With snow, it has a tendency to push the rear wheels out into oversteer more than the C300 - the winter setting and moderation on the throttle are in order. Overall it is very quiet, even with winter rubber on, with little if any S/C whine in evidence.

I found the C300 was easy to get the front splitter onto curbing despite having the parktronic assist - the Jag has both the parking system and the 360 camera system, plus a splitter that isn't as close to the road. I do find that it is a large car, but doesn't drive that way.

On the highway, it is very stable with strong crosswinds. One does have to be careful when merging on highways, as it is really easy to overshoot the speed you want to achieve - the acceleration when rolling is spectacular but refined... you don't always realize how quickly it is adding speed as it does so without drama or undue noise.

I have the heated/cooled seats - have only used the heaters and they are very effective. The heated windscreen is brilliant, except for the small area that isn't heated, and ice can build up there with freezing rain due to the difference in windscreen temperature. I haven't had an opportunity to play with the adaptive suspension/engine/transmission/steering in the dynamic mode yet.

The Meridian sound system is excellent - and appears to be based on the Microsoft SYNC system utilized by Ford products. It has the same general functionality and the SD based maps that need to be plugged in. I have only had the sunroof open a few times - the vent position doesn't give much lift to the panel, and open there is very little wind disruption in the car.

This was my first car, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It stands out on the road, people are constantly looking at you. Has a great presence. I did a custom exhaust to make it sound like an XFR, and ever since simply turning the car on has been a joy.

People say its unreliable and expensive to fix, but the only problem I ever had was a fuel injector going bad. Since the car was under warranty it didn't cost me a penny. Other than that its just normal wear and tear.

The Fuel mileage isn't great, but its still very manageable for a v8. It's definitely worth the performance and sound. Would never have sold it if I wasn't moving.

Every time I drive my 2009 xf its like a new experience all the time. I have never had an issue with my vehicle, I put a custom exhaust, k & n filter and custom rims. it drives smooth but has power when you pound the peddle. The car gets looks every where I go.

Excellent car, one of the very best I've owned.

Very expensive at the dealership. After 80K, everytime I take it in, I don't leave without dropping between 700 and 1200.

Smooth ride, beautiful cabin, great features and the prettiest lines on any car in its class! Great customer experience with dealership also. Maybe one of my favorite cars that I have owned.

I love it. It is unique amongst all the cars in this class, nice lines, especially the front grille. This car is a true high performance car, fun to drive, with all the luxury to add to it. It stands out in any crowd.

The XF is a complete new look on the Jaguar line. It has luxury, class, and performance all in one. There are many trim models but the best one is the XF Supercharged with 420HP and 413 ft lb torque. With the different setting on the vehicle, it can be driven in a luxury and comfort manner then into ultra performance mode with a touch of a switch.

Best of all, you do not see many XFs on the road and especially a Supercharged (same as the XFR in 2014).

The car is beautiful and drives exceptionally well. However in 18 months of ownership, I have had to take the car in for servicing 6 times. I've had problems such as leaky water pump, trim coming apart, fuel injector failing, water entering the door and sloshing around whenever you accelerate or brake (I could have sworn I had an aquarium inside the door). And the dealers service advisor's were terrific, but the technicians always made mistakes, whether its forgetting to turn of your service remainder light after a $800 service to not fixing things the first time. In terms of reliability and cost of operations, this is the most expensive car I've ever operated. I spent over $4000 on maintenance over 40,000 km of driving.

This car is gorgeous, fast, comfortable, highly recommend! I drove this car for 80,000 kms and loved every mile.

it's a great ride. wouldn't drive anything else. bought it from my friend think it was a steal, but i wouldn't tell them that.

If you live in Southern California or south Florida, Jaguar’s two best markets, an all-wheel-drive Jag is as useless as a chocolate teapot. But if you live in the Northeast, another hot zone for luxury nameplates, almost all of which make good money on AWD, it’s a different matter. Jaguar needs this all-weather option, and the price-leading XF and the flagship XJ get it for an extra $3000 and $3500, respectively. It comes in both cars, teamed exclusively with the new supercharged and direct-injected 3.0-liter V-6 that pulls 340 horsepower.

Neither the steel-bodied XF nor the aluminum XJ was originally designed for this electronic wet-clutch front-drive system, which echoes BMW’s xDrive. A short propshaft angles slightly left from the transfer case behind the eight-speed automatic to an open differential on the side of the engine’s sump. The right wheel’s halfshaft passes through the sump so that the engine stays low. The gear adds 154 pounds and, on dry surfaces, can shift half the torque forward.

Is luxuriously equipped with a 385HP 5.0L V8 Engine, 6 Speed Automatic transmission with Paddle Shift, Jaguar drive Winter & Dynamic mode. This car have all the options that a car needs, for comfort and pleasure of the driver.

This is by far the nicest car I have ever owned and probably the nicest ride I have ever had. Every day it is a joy to turn the vehicle on and I am constantly finding reasons to take it for a ride. The Jaguar brand has had issues in the past with relieability however they have been working hard to turn the brand around and the XF is one of their leaders. With the V8 300 lbs hp and 320 lbs torque it is definitely not sluggish even if it is almost 4,100 lbs. This vehicle is a 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and it feels it. Unfortunately it has a tradeoff which is the gas milage, but the performance is worth the sacrifice. The Jaguar XF is extremely quite and even at highway speeds it is a beautiful smooth ride that is extremely quite. The winter mode definitely helps in the Canadian climate and is all that is needed within city limits.

I dare you to just take a ride and I know you will fall in love with it. Definitely a joy to drive.
