Buying a quality used car can be something of a headache. What should
you buy to get the best value for money, but also the most luxurious,
despite being second hand? Well, Jaguar would probably be the best place
to start. Jaguar is in the midst of something of a revival and the XF
is the tip of the iceberg, here is how it stacks up:
Styling
The
XF blows its class competitors out of the water in the styling stakes.
Its sleek lines along its length are matched in the front end with
curves down to the menacing grill, which delivers the looks like a
Jaguar should. The only real complaint is that the back looks like an
Aston Martin, which can only be a good thing, right?
Quality and practicality
The
XF oozes quality from every pore. The interior has seen no expense
spared with innovative lighting putting its class rivals in the shade.
The central hub hasn't changed much and still offers the perfect space
for the drivers necessities tucked away in a neat central cubby-hole.
There's a cosy feel to the front of the car, but the rear still remains a
bit cramped. However, you won't mind being just that little bit closer
to all of the quality around you.
Performance and Economy
Improvements
have been made in the quality of Jaguar's engines, which maintain the
potency while not negating the feel and composure that Jaguar are known
for. The best has to be the 2.2 diesel, which can race from 0-60 in just
7.4 seconds. Moreover, the diesel engines will give you much more bang
for your buck in terms of economy.
Ride and Handling
Not
often do cars match up to the ride and handling of a BMW, but Jaguars
composure and hugging of the bends overwhelm any of its class rivals. It
will not be beaten on comfort and ride if you are someone who racks up
the miles. The XF combines blistering pace with effortless grace to be
the top of its class.
Overall, the Jaguar XF is one the best saloons available right now and provides a superb update to the outdated S-Type. From the styling to the comfort, the XF
offers great value for money; especially if you are buying it
second-hand with low mileage.
