Replying to: rayainsw (Jul 02, 2009 2:53 pm) Hi Ray!   My wife and I both had a change in our lives, as we retired from our respective jobs within the last 18-24 months. Therefore, the most apparent change is that we don't drive as much as we used to. I was hoping to actually do a little more, as in "pleasure travelling", however the sour economy has us playing a little close to the vest, until we see how things play out in the long term.   Because of that, although we've had the XF for a little over 2 months, we've put just about 1000 miles on it. The driving experience is positive, as the ride is taught, but not bone jarring, cornering is quite good, and the braking is oustanding. However, I have a few quibbles with the car....   First, it seems to only happen to my wife, but the gear selector seems to get confused sometimes, and she's been unable to shift the tranny from "drive" to "park" with the engine running. The dealer looked at it thoroughly, ran a few computer scans, but couldn't find anything wrong. As a "shotgum" solution, they replaced the "shifter module assembly", as it's all electrical, and tied into the computer. It was OK for about a week, but now my wife says it's happening again. BUT, and I repeat, BUT, it's never happened to me.   I don't want to be nasty about the whole situation, but I sincerely think that cars, and the XF in particular, are getting too complicated....unnecessarily. I never thought that using an ignition key, or having a transmission shifter that was actually connected by a linkage or cable to the transmission, was a BAD idea. I strongly believe in the KISS theory. Somehow, I think that there's some very subtle that my wife is or isn't doing, to keep the car's computer happy, hence her issues. But, if a car is THAT sensitive, what good is it?   Other than that, my only complaints are that the seat bottoms could use a little more side bolstering, as the car WILL corner, and the seats will allow you to slide around a bit. Also, the view out the rear window is a little limited, due to the very stylish "fastback" roofline. It isn't a real issue, however, until you have to back up.

Replying to: bbronov (Jun 14, 2009 7:06 am) I am guessing this is a 2009 considering the date of your post. What options did you have on it?   How do you like it now that you yave had it almost 3 months?
#10 of 17 Jaguar Factory Rebate? by jsorof Sep 09, 2009 (2:41 am)
A poster on a different thread mentioned that Jaguar has an unadvertised $3000 factory rebate currently on the XF. Has anyone else been able to pull that out of Jaguar?

My neighbor was considering the Jaguar XF but after reading the JD powers initial quality review, they have removed it as a possibility. It was quite dismal getting 2 out of 5 stars for initial quality in quite a few categories. Replies to this message: jagbuyer (Sep 14, 2009 8:02 am) greenie7 (Oct 01, 2009 4:46 am)

Replying to: bocatrip (Sep 12, 2009 1:22 pm) My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. We have had zero complaints about the XF SC. It is the most amazing car I have ever had the pleasure of driving.

Replying to: jagbuyer (Apr 05, 2009 9:56 am) I recently purchased a demo XF Supercharged with 6,000km in Canada for $66,000 + tax.   FYI the XF SC is way more vehicle than the 535i both in terms of power (420 v 300 HP) and reliability. I have friends who recently bought new 3 & 5 series BMW's and they seem to be driving service loaners more than their own cars. I have spoken to 3 other local XF owners and in the last 3 - 6 months other than scheduled services, none of our cars have experienced any problems. I just took a 1000km trip and the Jag performed flawlessly.   The only issue with the XFSC is that like most high end cars it only comes with high performance summer tires. If you need to drive in snow conditions, winter tires will cost over $2,000.
#14 of 17 Jaguar and Land Rover. Proud examples of fine Indian luxury cars. Wow! by jaguar16 Sep 30, 2009 (2:11 pm)
Jaguar is now an Indian beast (according to the Indian press AND Tata Group) thanks to Tata Motor's 100% acquisition of JLR. Land Rover/Range Rover is also fine Indian heritage now. Both now high quality Indian luxury cars. Power to JLR's new Indian owners/masters.     Already Jaguar/Land Rover are establishing component sourcing offices in India. Soon they may be entirely "Made in India".....yessss!

Replying to: bocatrip (Sep 12, 2009 1:22 pm) This has changed since the debut of the 2009 model. The 2010 model has had fewer complaints and many happy owners!

Replying to: richbike (Oct 19, 2009 3:01 pm) Could you tell me where you purchased your XF Supercharged ? I am looking for one myself. Thanks
