2009 Jaguar XF Premium Luxury 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
I test drove most competitors in this class, and was not happy until I test drove the XF. I immediately knew this was a car for me! I have owned Lexus and Acura, but they do not compare with this car. The interior design is spectacular with the leather dash, great seating, and technology, and the exterior sets it apart from its competitors in its class. I have fallen madly in love with my first Jaguar - it is an exceptional vehicle! The build quality is excellent and the transmission shifts through the gears beautifully! I cannot explain how happy I am to have, on a whim, stopped in to test drive the XF.
Favorite Features
The interior design, growl of the engine, handling of the car
Suggested Improvements
Nothing as of yet!

Review
I fell in love with the car after seeing it the first time. The car looks great. It has all the toys and features I could ever wanted in a car. Warm and cold package is a big plus. Blind spot warning is a nice feature. The auto dim mirror and navigation are nicely done. The rotating shifter dial is a nice change. The paddle gear shifters are convenient. The sound system is good. The handling is good, but not great compared to my BMW (performance 8). The noise reduction is not so good compared to Lexus and MB (comfort 8). The fuel economy is good for a V8. It may lack things in some areas, but overall it is so much fun to drive, I can ignore the rest.
Favorite Features
Blind spot warning. Heated and cooled seats. Rotating vent and shifter dial.
Suggested Improvements
Idle and driving (wind) noise is high compared to MB E class. The touch screen control is slow. I wish the designer could allow users to turn off the animations.

I love the solid feel of the car. The balance is wonderful. I had one mech problem, promptly fixed.

2009 Jaguar XF Supercharged 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl S/C 6A)
Review
This Supercharged XF is the blend between luxury and sport! It has the virtues of a fine luxury sports sedan, but with the DSC off and Sport mode engaged this is a machine with huge power on tap. The handling is quick and incredible, while always maintaining a slick and smooth feel, I love the way it looks too.
Favorite Features
Looks, performance and handling!
Suggested Improvements
The navigation could be updated and more fully featured

Review
This is my first Jaguar. I am a new owner and so far this car has exceeded my expectations. Great balance of sleek design, power, and comfort. Fit and finish is great and a heck of a lot of fun to drive
Favorite Features
Bowers and Wilkens stereo is very impressive. Adaptive cruise control is fantastic. Super comfortable and modern interior. Seat bottom is extendable on the supercharged car, great for tall drivers. Touch screen for nav and other driver controls
Suggested Improvements
Driver control preset buttons should be placed higher on the door.

2009 Jaguar XF Supercharged 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl S/C 6A)
Review
On Sunday 10/12 I attended the Jaguar Legendary Performance Tour event at the Monticello Motor Club, NY. Each guest was provided a new Jaguar (XK or XF) to take on a 25 minute country drive. I am looking at the XF so this was a perfect opportunity. The car truly exceeded my expectations. But it gets better, upon return each guest was escorted to the race track. We were assigned a car and professional race driver. We were each given the opportunity to test drive the cars on a real track. For the second lap the professional takes the wheel. Words cannot describe the experience of a race car driver putting the XF through its paces. I walked away from there with a new found respect for the XF.
Favorite Features
Performance, ride, comfort and unbelievable handling capabilities. The car is far more capable than one would ever experience during normal everyday driving.

Review
This car is well executed and has good performance. Handling is great, but still very smooth and silky. The car is comfortable and I find the interior very cool looking and functional. It is not your father's Jaguar, and anybody that says so is ignorant. The XF tranny with paddle shifters is very quick to respond. The base car at 300 HP is reasonably quick and for 50k it beats pants off of base BMW, MB and other 50k cars which come with 6 cylinder engines.
Favorite Features
Looks good and drives well. Nice responsive handling. Great looks and appearance
Suggested Improvements
Better navigation system

2009 Jaguar XF Supercharged 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl S/C 6A)
Review
My XF 2009 is simply awesome. The exterior style turns heads everywhere I go. MB, Lexus and BMW are a dime a dozen but not this Jag. It is unique. The interior is extremely comfortable and high tech.
Favorite Features
Power, 20" wheels, strong shocks, powerful ac, sound system and navigation system.
Suggested Improvements
More interior storage compartments by reducing from 3 to 2 front cupholders. Wipers always have to be on auto (should be able to manage manually). Stay clips on all 4 carpet mats vs. Just 2 in front. Battery in front not in trunk with difficult access.

looks techy, sleek & athletic but very slow tranny reaction time, punch it you will see. Dog for a V8 - no sport mode - poor navi - only 2D - very very slow - Expensive over-rated sound system. Poor bass & tones - controls on wheel - needs to be buttons - poor resale
Favorite Features
New upgraded contemporary styling
Suggested Improvements
Almost a homerun but missed the mark. cost difference between prem and super charged model alarm auto start HUD smaller fob size retractable mirrors wheel controls improved use buttons not knobs still an old mans car.

Review
I have had my XF for 5 months now and reviewed it on 5-18-08. The love affair just keeps getting better and better. I have averaged my gas mileage over time, and it's a lot better than I thought it would be. The XF is turning even more heads and getting more wows then before. As time goes by I have settled into this car very nicely and am very comfortable in an edgy sort of way. Cat's are just like that, a little edgy and mysterious, my Jaguar XF is no different.
