Replying to: jamesbond1 (Apr 15, 2009 6:07 am) you and your wife both are driving a Jag XF, but having problems for a new car is something that really scares me. I want my next car to be an suv but thought about the XF, but not anymore after what you said. |

I am concerned that Jag's quality may be rearing its head. At 3400 miles I am now having the upper radiator hose replaced, a lighting card for the steering wheel, and squeaks in the sunroof fixed. Jag has the nerve to charge as much or MORE for scheduled maintenance than my MB but they provide rental cars through Enterprise. I was given a 4 cyl Nissan as my loaner that took me 40 minutes to receive. What a joke!! If you want to play with the big boys (BMW, MB, Lexus) you need to get with the program. Their loaners are their make and take 5 minutes at the dealership. I love the car in general terms and get lots of compliments but I hope I don't live to regret my choice from a maintenance and dealer support perspective.

I just put the chrome side vents and a rear spoiler on my XF SC. I cant tell you how many people stop and stare at this car! When I go to a hotel, the valet's fall over themselves to park my car and they always park it close to the door so everyone can see it! I have never seen another on the road since I bought mine last year. I have never had another car that elicits the response I get from this XF SC!!!

| Can anyone tell me how this car performs in winter weather, snow and ice? I live in Iowa so we get some of that. I assume it needs snow tires put on for winter? | |

Beware! bought the 09 XF Premium in June 2008 and drove it brand new fully load off the showroom floor. Gorgeous car and was so excited about my XF. However started having problems 6 months later in Dec 08 after taking it in for a scheduled maintenance. Just two weeks later after that maintenance started having all types of problems: (Fuel light on, Knocking/rev-ving noise,). Of course thought I was in the clear and that the problem was fixed by my dealership then I had to bring the car back a second time a month later in Jan 09 for same fuel problems and more. This time (very hard time pumping gas in car, Dash display language changed to foreign words)…Well this second time of round my dealership said they found the problem that my fuel had a kink in it and that’s what caused the problem. Well fast forward back to square one again same car issues just took my car back today on May 20, 2009. I am a disappointed Buyer and now I don’t want the car anymore that’s 3 occasions now I had to bring the car in, communicating with my dealership on finding a resolution! Very frustrated! On top of that received very bad customer service from my dealership here in Riverside alot of headaches.

| Will see if the '10 model clears out some of the first model year bugs of the '09's that many have already been mentioned. I've owned a good number of makes and models over the years but have seen few of these XF's on the road which makes it even more appealing. The ones I have seen look much better 'in person' than in photos, etc. I'm searching out over the various networking sites (Jag specific forums, LinkedIn, etc.) on info about Chicago area Jag dealer and Jag mechanic ratings as if I do decide this route I want it to be as good an experience as possible. Over in the Luxury Lounge Edmunds forum, some discuss the XF but as this forum is more specific we'll see what others have experienced. It will not be my only car so I'm willing to deal with the minor stuff (to a point) but stuff should get fixed on the first try and of course even buying one should not be regretful! I'll be combing the archives for Chicago dealer Jag experiences but more specifically the service issue stuff as I think I'll do fine on the purchase/lease with so many Jag dealers around here that compete with other. I can offer dealer feedback for Mazda, VW, Dodge and as of late MB/smart (wife's commuter car) but Jaguar is a much different 'animal' (pardon the pun). With all of the favorable press hopefully Jaguar is heading in the right direction with its new owners. | |
