Jaguar XF Diesel
13 November 2008
This is a car that makes you smile every time you start it up...
... and you will still be smiling at the end of the journey.
Delightful touches that abound: a starter button that throbs with life, a gear selector knob that rises from the centre-console into your hand and air vents sweeping open as the car comes to life.
The twin-turbo 2.7-litre diesel V6 is no fine-tuned sprinter but it is strong and it is quick on the move - call for effort anywhere in the mid-range and the 435Nm of torque is ready and waiting.
At north of $100,000 the XF is not cheap -and $2700 for metallic paint is pure cheek - but what price fun?
The feel-good factor is so strong you can even forgive its greatest shortcoming, the overly light and over-assisted steering.

Jag - as a professional restorer and classic and luxury car detailer I have experienced this car first hand, the build quality is excellent and the features, especially the speed limiter are second to none, to drive this car is truly to understand how cars should drive it is quiet and smooth and does exactly what it should five stars

This Jag is one of the best Jags/cars ever built. It is smooth, powerful, solid and feels like my old E-Type.
I lover the car and it gets my vote.
