"My second XF in 3 years. I traded in a 2011 XF for the 2013 XF AWD. I gave up a bit of 8 cylinder power for the 6 cylinder AWD. At first I felt a bit cheated but have gotten over that in the first 2000 miles. The AWD truly feels like a RWD auto, until you need all the wheels grabbing the road. The seating design is a bit better and the navigation is much improved. The rear view camera is better as well. Picture quality on the DVD system is very nice, although I don't use it much as it would be a problem driving. I only have the 2013 XF a few months, but have found the millage improved about 3 MPG over the bigger 8 in the 2011. I do a lot of city driving. Also this is the first car that I have not had to remove brake dust from the rims every other day! And I do get a lot of head turns going down the road and at least a Jaguar conversation a week with a total stranger when pulling into a parking spot."

"I bought this car for my wive recently and she loves it as do I in-fact I end up driving this more than my Bentley or Maserati due to how the driving dynamics are great as is the steering response and acceleration which are both effortless."

2013 XF Jaguar AWD---It's a winner!

By Mr. ROBBO (NJ) on Tuesday, March 19, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 3,500

Pros: "Best looking vehicle....great handling.....comfort"

Cons: "Rear seat a bit tight for larger passengers"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Traded 2007 S-Type for the 2013 AWD XF. Wow! Great power, great handling and great looking vehicle. While driving, I always get thumbs up from other drivers and questions on how I like the XF Jag. My S-type was flawless in 5 years with just gas and regular service. I can only hope this Jag gives me such ease of ownership. Only negatives are rear seating is a little tight for the taller or larger passengers and 17 Mpg in New York City driving. Open road highway was a very pleasing 27 MPG. Great value compared to the other luxury cars in this catagory. My wife loved driving with the AWD in the snow just recently. She felt comfortable and secure with the great handling. It's a winner!"

"Traded in my 2006 S type on the 2010 XF. At first I missed the old styling...I really liked the feel of the S type, but the XF has won me over. Very comfortable, quiet and smooth, but with enough road feel to remind you it's a Jag. (they don't build Buicks) Power is the next thing I've noticed, way more than the S type...much smoother acceleration with not loss of pull until it get scarry fast. Really like the new style now, getting noticed is rewarding. sort of wish it got a few more miles to the gallon, but then you don't buy these for the gas economy (still I get 27 on the highway)...no maintenance issues but being an old guy, I do miss the dip stick to check the oil...(kidding there)"

nice look bad customer service and realiabilty

By hthiaw (MD) on Wednesday, March 13, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 6,000

Pros: "nice gadget and design"

Cons: "no rooms in backseat, bad customer service"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"I gave low grades because I used to have a lexus and compare to A lexus Jaguar has a long way to go to catch up. I am 6'3 and I have problem fitting inside the car when I drive. I guess it was not designed for tall people. And not enough room in the back. You dont want to seat in the back seats during a long trip. After two weeks of buying it,I have problem with external rearview mirros and the mat under the steering keep falling on my legs. I tried to take it to a Jaguar dealership to get fixed since I have the platinum warranty. either they are close or on lunch break. I tried to get a loaner and they say you have to pay for it.... I had this car only 2 weeks ago and I already miss the realiability and the good customer service of Lexus... My advise if you want a good care with good service buy a lexus if you care about the look only buy a jaguar. The design of the car is nice but that s only what you are getting"
