That stop sign though! Haha. I dig these cars more than some of their competition - probably because around here they are a dime a dozen. There's a E-Class, A6, or 5-series at every intersection. They all blend in.

Thanks so much for your reviews. The quality of the footage and detail is matched nowhere else, please keep these reviews coming!!

I've always liked Jaguars and almost bought a 2008 XJR which was nice but because of the known issues Jaguar cars have, I decided not to purchase it. I do love the shape of the older Jaguars and yes the British racing green is my favorite color!! Awesome video Nick!! Looking forward to the next one!

I wouldn't be too happy with that rippling in the leather at 15:50. But apart from that it's amazing, especially considering the model is coming up on 8yrs old

In the US and I think Canada and Australia, the XF is speed limited to 120mph.

For a few hundred bucks, you can get an aftermarket tune, or Hyper-chip, and the 3.0T tops out around 165mph.

Very nice review Nick! Thanks a lot for the detailed review. I just love this 2012-15 Jag XF Model. Been driving a 2012 2.2D model for the last 3 years and now am thinking of switching over to a (used) 2015 3.0 SC AWD model. This review really helps! Best regards. - Surojit

Awesome review. The intro music makes me feel like I'm about to select a new game in a classic JRPG back in the day for super

[JULEPPS]

I loved the comparisons you did with the other four competitors, gave me a great view at what a bargain this is. A great informative review, as always thank you Nick

Nice review. I have the 2.2 in the UK and the speed limiter is set to 140 mph. Also you can change the gears with the paddles in normal drive mode. So maybe these two things are specified differently for the USA

What's up with the driver seat? It already looks fucked up ..15:50

[adbarrnz]

Nice review. I've always loved the way the XF looks from the outside, and actually contemplated replacing my Legacy GT with one recently, but that interior doesn't really sit well with me. I had no idea they came in AWD.

Two quick questions:

1. Why is the interior so outdated on this 2015 model. You would think that it would have some more "shine" and such to add to the appeal of a car that is already quite expensive.

2. Curious as to why Jaguar made indicators optional on the 2015 model when all the others came standard?

Finally someone can pronounce the word jaguar properly!

Not a bad car, very good looking though I think the interior could use some updating and design changes. The dark stripes in the brown seats look horrid in my opinion. Personally I think there is too much going on in the interior with the wood, metal and leather. They can go together well but I think the colour combination with the tan leather, dark word and bright aluminum doesn't work well at all. The little quirks with the air vents and shifter nob and swiping map lights are awesome, they help make this a luxury car. It's the little details like that sets it above other cars. The exterior though looks fantastic, always love Jaguar styling!

My dad has not long bought one of these (but a diesel :( ) and I think the build quality is great from what I've seen... I'd almost say on a par with his previous Merc. However, I find the indicator stalks and the external door handles a bit nasty. It's weird they'd let little things like that slip when the rest is so good.

[TheCobruhAlienatr]

I'm sure you could flash the ECU to get past the limiter. Maybe its just limited unless you get a higher trim level or a package.

Hello Nick. I got another stupid question which has nothing to do with the car. What's the name of background music playing at the beginning?

[SegerGiesbers]

I see that you used a polarisation filter Nick hahah! The first shot of the car is absolutely perfect now. De wind screen and paint is spot on. I can't waiting seeing the rest of the video.

Cheers, Seger

Great review Nick. Your reviews as always are fair and unbiaised. 2 things I'd like to note however. The first one is that you CAN change gears via the paddles in Drive. It's a feature that must be activated via the infotainment screen. The second one is that the car will definitely go over 119 mph, often the Active Speed Limiter comes that way from factory but any JLR technical can disable that from the factory.

What do you think method of operation for the gear selector? Seems weird to me (like can you confidently operate without looking and know that you're in D and not N or R?).
