Default What to look for in new XF

I'm pretty fed up with all of the problems with the used '09 XF that we have and am looking for a replacement new car. So far, a Lincoln looks good, but my wife would like me to consider a new XF too.

What should I look for in a new XF? The 4-cyl doesn't make it with me, so it has to be the six, which I hear only comes supercharged?

Anything else?

You probably know this already, but you should ask this question over on the X260 forum.

If you are thinking a used XF look for a Cert. Pre Owned as the warranty is great. The new ones do have a darn good warranty as well now I want to say 5 year 60k bumper to bumper. We have a loaner diesel right now that is so much nicer to drive then the 4 cylinder gas we had test drove but it still does seem a bit busy shifting all the time.

As a side note, Jaguar no longer has a vehicle that is NOT turbo or Supercharged (at least for the USA market).


There are 2 options for the V6 gas motors, a 340hp and a 380hp. Both are exactly the same engine/tranny. The only difference is the tune.

Wow, they're not as easy to find right now as I thought. We're having trouble locating a red 6-cyl, 4WD, Prestige package with the enhanced vision option.

Hmmm...there are several XF's in "red" here in Dallas (Park Place Jaguar) with premium w/vision package. You probably could get them to sell you one delivered at a discount...
