JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Comfortable cruiser, solidly built and can achieve nearly 40MPG. I have been driving for over 30 years and this car is top of the list for quality and enjoyment. I could listen to the tickover all day and would have no hesitation recommending it.

jaguar xf premium luxury 3lt diesel
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
This is my 3rd jaguar and definitely the best the 3lt engine gives you all the power you need for a big car put it in sport and feel the hair on the back of your neck stand up .short trips and I get low 30 mpg but on long or motorways driving it's up in the high fortys the automatic gear box is effotless or you can use the paddle shift which is great when in sport mode I would definitely have another even after reading somethings that have gone wrong with with other owners I would make sure it has full service history that way you know it as been looked after

Really good but could be better
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Overall, the car looks great and drives really well. The gearbox seems to hold on to the gears a little bit longer than necessary which affects the mpg. I'm getting around 33 - 34 mpg, not the 40+ that I've read in some of the reviews but I expected this when I bought the car. It's also quite difficult to upgrade some of the equipment fitted as no one seems to have any upgrade parts and the way the workshop manuals are printed nowadays means there are no full wiring diagrams to look at. The boot is huge but spoiled by the bump in the middle of the floor due to the strengthening bar underneath. Otherwise , it's a lovely car and I'm glad that I bought it.

A most enjoyable car too many good points to list them all. It always makes me feel good to drive it. I was worried about rumered fuel consumption of jaguars but I have been pleasantly surprised normal motoring between 35 to 40 mpg which in my view for such a powerful vehicle is very acceptable. The navigation system is okay but I have had better, clearer, and easier to use. I find this surprising in such a smooth deluxe machine. I would recommend this car to a friend

best car driven to date
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Had this car for almost a year, bought second hand, it was well looked after. Build quality is really good. The finish is is great, everything fitted together really nice and flush. The ride is really comfy and refined. 6 speed automatic gearbox is nice, I don't think it's the best, when compared with VAG DSG gearbox but the changes are generally smooth. Downshift is a little slow to respond at times and better to use the paddles to downshift if overtaking. The engine is powerful, 3.0 v6 sport, roughly 270bhp I think which is good for a diesel. Economy is obviously not the best with around 30mpg urban and 45 mpg on a decent motorway run. Plenty of space in the rear and just as comfortable to sit in as the front. The standard Dunlop tyres are not up to much in my opinion and should be swapped as soon as readonly possible. Its my first Jaguar and most likely won't be my last!

My Jaguar
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Great looking car, well designed and packed with all of the extras that you could want. The 3.0 litre diesel is very smooth and with power in abundance, is well matched to the car. Fuel economy is not bad considering what you are driving, I get about 34mpg around town and close to 40 mpg on a long run. It has a 6 speed auto box with a normal and a sport mode, together with paddles for manual override. Full quality leather interior, front and rear parking aides with a rear camera as well. The screen in the dash controls the radio, heating, sat nav and various other controls.

JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Jaguar XF S jono73 | 21st April '16 Wow what a car !! i am in love for sure, i bought a mint condition one owner FSH 2010 XF S Lux Premium in Black cream leather and 20in rims. I must say after having BMW's Audi's and a Merc... For me this is my favorite, the power 275bhp standard is phenomenal good handling and cruises well on open roads at high speed also decent fuel economy and tax to for a 3litre V6. Looks classy and just oozes class.... leather on the dash shows quality rather than a high grade plastic and the Sat Nav is very good too. The DPF can cause problems if you do NOT use 5w 30 LOW ASH oil on servicing (not many garages know that esp Halfords and Kwik Fit beware !! important) and quality diesel not supermarket fuel with no cleaning additives. Considering a re mapp !!!

Jaguar XF SE 3.0d V6 Auto Premium Luxury
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Ace to drive, well thought out and excellent design features. Sedate and luxurious at low speeds, capability to go when required. They are affordable ( reliable so far) and getting 36mpg so not bad on fuel either. The heart beat start/stop button, opening vents and rising gear selector are great to initially with but seem a bit of an initial sales novelty feeling a bit un-necessary after a while. But if that is my only issue it can't be all bad. Best car I have owned to date, does not replace the weekend toy though.

Avoid buying the very early (2008) models because they suffer from a host of electronic failures which is a shame because it's a lovely car to drive ,very comfortable and reasonably quick.

This car would make a tremendous secondhand buy.I have run one for five years trouble free obtaining forty miles to the gallon overhaul and no oil top ups.It gives you the power to overtake when required and the comfort to cruise mile after mile and arrive at your destination totally refreshed and wanting more.If you have kids beside all the safety features to keep them safe it has a gigantic boot for all your gear.When you have it all to yourself put it in sport mode and take it for a spin down some country roads the handling is terrific. Buy one.

Never buy a Jag
What a pile
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
By far the worst car I had the misfortune to own, first the intercooler burst common fault but Jaguar choose not to recognise this, then the inlet manifold burst not quite so common a fault but mine certainly wasn't the first after searching again Jaguar didn't want to know, I would never consider buying anything made by JLR ever again pity was a beautiful car when it ran as it should but that was a very rare occurrence, if you do ever find the urge to buy a Jaguar please just DONT

Jag XF
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Everyone sees it as a very prestigious luxury car so you can be proud to be in it and it does look good, Your not just another BMW owner. To drive its ok as a luxury car but does cost a lot to run and sluggish when first put foot down plus has less toys and buttons than its competition. Mine has an annoying smell of exhaust fumes every now and then which i understand comes not from the exhaust but some form of heater in the nearside engine compartment. It only does it occasionally and no one has been able to sort it which is sad because it smells horrible when it happens.

JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
It's a fantastic car regarding engine gearbox steering, however mine has 20" rims, looks great but ride quality suffers badly, the way t looks and makes you feel is nothing short of wonderful,but the build quality is appalling, I've had to change the door lock mechanism last year....failed. I have a bad problem with ingress of water in boot.sat navy is hopeless. Full slap in tank! jaguar know about it and won't do anything about it apart from selling a kit fix! Not very a lot of storage for the driver, lack of basics in the luxury model. Go for the higher spec.. Even with all its faults is probably the best car I have owned in in my 50 years of driving!!!

Amazing car to drive with reflective performance. ( 3.0s diesel) can be driven is practical as you like, from soft gentle driving with steering on the light side to 'dynamic' mode, very responsive with stiffened suspension and steering - all at the press of a button. I was initially undecided whether to purchase a bmw 530 msport, audi a5 slide or the Jag xfs 3.0 sports. Did a it of homework and chuffed with my decision

Driving the dream
Should Have Bought Privately
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
I bought my 59 Plate 3.0 D XFS from an independent dealer. I noticed the last service hadn't been stamped up, but thought who on earth would buy such a car and not service it? The car had newish Jag Dunlop tyres and was immaculate, so it didn't look like a budget motorist had used it, maybe the garage forgot to stamp the book? Anyway a 100 point RAC check and 1 year RAC warranty was thrown in. The dealer who sold me it, also claimed to have done an oil service. Three months down the line , numerous DPF problems. The oil hadn't been changed or if so any old junk had been thrown in. So far I've had to pay 300 quid for the DPF to be cleaned and for a Jag specialist to reset all the electronics. The exhaust has been welded twice. Incidentally the air filter was also filthy and hadn't been changed for years . The DPF clean wasn't covered by RAC, they only pay for replacement parts. A new DPF plus fitting is approx 2 grand. Warranty was for 1,000 pounds Max. I also had to put new oil in. This time the correct Ford Spec Low ash oil. Now the car runs only on premium diesel. It should be fine now, but has taken a bit of hassle to get it right. the perils of used car ownership I suppose. Bottom line is don't be put off buying privately. You can sound the owner out and see if he knows anything about his car or how they have looked after it. That said I am now hoping that the problems are resolved. I love the car and it goes like a rocket. Its quiet comfortable and turns heads. So still my dream car rather than a nightmare.

JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
This is my second jaguar XF my first was the 2.7D nice to drive plenty of power but a flat spot before it hits the torque area of revs this was unfortunately written off by another driver. I decide to by another jaguar and wanted the 3.0 bonus I purchased the S model with 275BHP this is awesome power delivery is unbelievable for a big car it drives lovely the best car I have owned, a few of my friends have the BMW's or Audi's well they can keep them Jaguar XF all the way for me. Running costs are pretty good I can return 40+ on a run which is good mine as 70000 on the clock but feels like it just come out of the showroom. I would recommend this car to anyone but make sure it has plenty of history with it .

XF 3.0d premium luxury
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Very comfortable relaxing car to drive, fuel economy not great, it's a big car make sure you have enough room to park it in. It failed to start twice due to flat battery six months apart no fault could be found, keep getting water in fuel warning, told to ignore it! Keep an eye on the speedo or you will quickly get points on your licence. Boot is large but not an ideal shape it goes a long way back but is quite shallow. Would I recommend the car, absolutely definitely I would, still brings a smile to my face every time I get in it, it looks fantastic it goes fantastic.

Since 2 Month i use that love it. Some Bad Think : Windscreen washing special if u have open driver window 😀 there is no ruber to hold up weather so u get all in face. MPG officialy it say 50mpg 😀 im so far combinated 32 and motorway if drive gramma style 42-44 MPG that was a best. Some Good Think: Comfort and Feel "Welcome to drive" if u sit behind the wheel. Powerfull Hardly. V6 3L S model very nice in power and i Like Dynamic Mode with Sport and Manual Shift. u can feel all the road. Do at Home Service very easy. Oil Filters and rest change not recommend any High Qualification 😀 easy to do. All Togather, im Happy to buy my first Jag and i like it. (Normally Volvo Driver, Just S90 Cost 2x more)

Fabulous car
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Sophisticated, elegant design. Utterly reliable and beautifully constructed. A joy to drive, powerful and yet amazingly economical. My only criticisms are these: 1. Very poor sat-nav. Even in its time, the sat nav was poor, and by today's standards it's terrible. 2. No rear-window wiper on any car in this range. 3. Small boot. For the length of the car, the boot is ridiculously small. But overall it's a super car, and I hope to drive it forever (though with a Garmin sat-nav!).

Cheap luxury
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
I love my XF but there are a few common things to look out for. The window cables and door locks can be fragile so check the function of all windows and doors especially if the lock and unlock properly. Check to make sure the DPF is still in place as these can suffer frequent problems for typical short journey owners and judging by forum posts are frequently removed. Check the leather on the dash to make sure it's now suffering in the sun. I've not had anything major go with mine and have just incurred service costs and wear and tare which isn't really any more than most normal cars. My services are cheaper than my father's 5 series and my sisters Dacia! The car has fantastic handling whether you're feeling sporty or just want to waft, be prepared for more attention than most cars. It gets a lot of comments!

Some surprises
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
I was initially unhappy that soon after purchase the rear wishbones and brakes required renewal. A bigger surprise when one of the headlights refused to work. As it was a sealed unit with the side light and indicator an nice replacement cost of £1100. Not quite the same as going to Halfords for a lightbulb. The car drives well but a bit lumpy in this day and age. It is a diesel which has now got a poor reputation. The car is luxery but compared to other modern cars lacks many of the 'Toys'.

Retirement: First Jaguar!
JAGUAR XF DIESEL SALOON 2008-2011
Always wanted a Jaguar XF and after 35y of generic company cars, bought a 7y old XF 3.0D Portfolio S. It's loaded with equipment, goes like a rocket. The boot is like a cave and even accommodates my wife's holiday needs. Handling is faultless, although all that power can make things interesting if the road is slippery (but there's a 'slippery road' button for that!). Only minor downside is that if I really 'enjoy' it, it's thirst for diesel is quite high, but I guess that's to be expected.
