Jaguar XF R (2009 - 2015) 5.0 V8 Supercharged XFR (Start Stop) 4d Auto Owner Review

It is as practical as any of the six 4 door saloon I have owned before. It is as comfortable as the previous XF I owned, but it is infinitely more fun. Mine has the performance pack so it has extra kick over the standard XFR and comes with the black gloss alloys. The image on this web page is of the old model, the series 2 XFs had a much better looking front and the XFR looks mean. Whether at home or in a car park, I am always getting admiring comments, from young and old alike. It is a lively car in the wet and the traction systems work hard if you boot it in wet conditions, but in the dry it is a fun car to push, especially if you sharpen up the throttle and take off the first layer of traction control. The gear change is quick on the paddles and the brakes will stop you on a penny. It is a thirsty car when driven hard, it is after all a 5.0Ltr engine, but on every day driving I get 28 MPG and on long cruises I get 32 MPG whilst keeping up with the outside lane drivers. I had planned to keep this for a couple of years and then trade it in for something more sensible, but I don't know if I can now, it is very addictive.
