Tempting

As fond as I am of my Rover 75, an obvious choice for any future replacement is the Jaguar XF. And I've just spotted this... Corrr

It's a move I know a few members have made, and a good one - the XF is very nice.

Maybe in a few years...

Its a Jag theres loads of them out there, but not our cars

Les4048 · 1st April 2015, 08:51

Lovey car but wrong colour for me. I saw a Jag in Inverness lass year and it looked similar to Dorchester Red, verrrry nice

Nice looking car, but not mad on the colour.

yes indeed.

We are allowed to view the desirable from a distance but who would want to part with the old lady...

A future choice for me too...alongside my 75. Best of both worlds

I do like the XFs a lot, and wouldn't mind owning one, at some point. However, the trim quality always feels a bit disappointing, and I think the interiors are starting to get quite dated, particularly with all of the silver plastic. I don't think that's a colour I'd ever choose.

Were it me, I'd go for one in 'Caviar', with a proper engine (not a tractor). Some of the blue colours offered were very tasteful.

However, given the way that X350 XJ values have gone, I think I'd be more inclined to buy a really nice XJ, rather than an XF.

When the ZT eventually dies (hopefully years from now) I may looks to see if I can afford a second hand XF. Sadly the estate versions are relatively new and pricey and there's no manual option.
There's a really nice deep red colour you can get...

Had a 2005 Jag XJ X350 (first of the aluminium bodied XJs). It was a disaster area.

Parts are really expensive too compared with our cars, and DIY isn't easy.

I won't be rushing back to Jag.
