Jaguar XF

Part of my car shopping trip. Was impressed with the interior having sat in a friend's. The specs looked good too and i like the looks of the XF.

- classy and timeless look

- engine response

- interior layout and quality

- spaciousness

- felt really great when cruising

- handling. its not bad but i was constantly reminded of the size and weight

- could still feel the weight of the car despite an amazing engine

Been driving Jaguar XF recently. This car offers powerful engine , nimble handling and a handsome , well-appointed interior . XF handles well for the class , cornering like a lighter and more nimble car . It has delightfully tactile steering , giving it a helm for livelier than the relatively relaxed car it controls. I Love the lovely interior , a sort of techno update on old-world opulence that celebrates aluminium and LCD's as much as it does for wood and leather . The wood combines well with the aluminium to give a contemporary appearance .

The XF proves that Jaguar is back to its best when it comes to building luxury saloons.

The unique standard features in the cabin , such as the shift knob that rises out of the center console when you start the car engine.

1) Less headroom at the rear seats .

2) Price . All thanks to the ridiculous COE . Paying over $80K for a piece of paper before even buying a car .

Went to try out this beast since was somehow got myself "invited" to test drive as a friend was looking at this vs another make.

First look.....impressive styling for the exterior...the beast logo somehow hides on the mesh part than the previously stand out on the bonnet. Nice curvy LED lights too.

Inside look...luxury as its class. Gearbox springs up once u hit the START button...nice ! Trimmings are excellent in quality and legroom and head space are adequate too.

Drive....on the step of the throttle, it springs into life just like the beast itself as a real animal. Pickup was tremendously quick, gear changes are as well...the torque of this car is fabulous too. Tried to overtake on a highway, its never been so easy and much more better and efficient than some other makes of this class I tried which are good too but this is BEST and beaten the rest for this flat down. Cornering was also excellent for this size as well.

Overall, its a powerful car in its class but only drawback is lack of luxury or safety gadgets or features, in comparison to its competitors like Mercedes Benz and BMW or even Audi which hope Jaguar will look into it soon.

- Torque (its EXCELLENT)

- Powertrain

- Pickup

- 8 speed gearbox

- Pop up of gearbox upon push start, similar to Land Rover

- Exterior looks and styling

- Interior luxury trimmings

- Price (Thanks to the fantastically HIGH COE !)

Lack of features a luxury car should have like :

- Brake Assist

- Intelligent systems

- Etc...
