Sounds like a quality automobile. Have been researching and viewing for a couple of weeks now. Seems to be everything I want except for minor missing items. Currently driving a Lexus GS 300 06'. The XF should have the following items:
1. Electric pull-down for trunk
2. Power side mirror retractors
3. Cover on top side of trunk (you see metal)
4. Seat settings memory on passenger side
5. Fog lights
Fit and finish appears to be fine. Any thoughts on why these are missing and if any of these or other features may be added later?

Just took delivery of our SECOND XF after we negotiated a buy out of the first because of excessive problems. Well this one is going in for service already. Excessive wind noise from drivers door and fit/finish of the center console needs attention.
Someone mentioned this is a world class vehicle? I have never experienced this type of poor quality control.
This XF is up for sale and we are saying goodbye to Jaguar!

Well that sucks to hear. You did say that you bought your jag from Jaguar of Scottsdale?? Both Jag stores in the Valley are owned by Penske so there is no competition. Ive only seen handful of XFs in Scottsdale and notice on North Scottsdale Jags website that INVENTORY is high and they are not moving them.

Yes. Bought from North Scottsdale. The inventory online did not come close to what I was able to pick from on the second go around. My feeling was they were all parked in service until I left. lol By the way I did call Penske home office to complain about the first one.

Sorry to be a Johnny come lately, but what types of problems were you having that led to the return and subsequent buyout of your first XF? I'm about 3 weeks in to mine and from the sounds of some these messages the worse is yet to come.

Here you go pjpell,
Between the two this is the list in order:
1. defect in windshield - replace
2. trim around rear view mirror - fix
3. engine malfunction light - fix after 500 mile test drive by dealer - WOW
4. sound pack for turn signal/seat belts - new part - fix
5. engine malfunction light - fix
6. drivers door will not latch all the time
7. wind noise drivers side
8. engine malfunction light - dealer buy out
9. very obvious wind noise driver side
10. fit/finish of center console - cupholder cover not aligned and "dent" near emergency brake release
Good luck to all who purchase an XF.

Sorry you experienced all those problems.I have my XF for about 1 week now + only problem is some front end creaking noises when the vehicle is travelling at speeds below 25 miles per hour. Nothing else. Anyone have any thoughts on what is causing the creaking sounds - maybe a suspension problem?

I had excessive squeaking in my XF after 2000 miles. I took it to the dealer and after 10 minutes he lubricated around the sunroof I believe and most of it was gone. However after a couple of weeks I hear a squeak whenever it turns in to a driveway on an uneven surface. No other car I have had has ever made such a racket. I took it to the dealer and they are replacing the seals I believe. I am hoping for the best but will not live with this noise especially when i get in some friends Camry that is deathly quiet. I love the car otherwise but very disappointed that a car this expensive would have such squeaks
