Jaguar XF Saloon 2.0d (180bhp) Portfolio 4d Auto Owner Review

This is the fourth XF I have owned and they keep getting better. I was a bit dubious about the 2.0 litre version but it has exceeded all expectations. It is a much better engine than the previous 2.2 litre. The car is quick and composed and handles all types of roads with ease, even the poorly maintained surfaces in Huddersfield. The interior of the car looks and feels special, streets ahead of the bland German alternatives. All the switches are to hand and I love the way it interfaces with my phone to provide more music than I thought possible. Most of my journeys are urban motoring yet the vehicle returns over 46 mpg. When I do get to drive any distance this goes up well into the 50s. No doubt with a light right foot you could achieve high 60s. But why would you want to? This is a fun car to drive. Finally this car stands out from the crowd. People stare at it as you drive past. I have had random strangers approach me in car parks to comment on how good it looks. Never happened with previous Audis or BMWs. Pulling out into traffic is never a problem; people still let a Jaguar in with a smile. Fantastic car, highly recommended, backed up in my case by a local dealer who can't do enough.
