Jaguar XF Reviews

Jaguar XF

Owner verdict (Driver Power 2010):

All hail the new Driver Power champ! Congratulations to the XF, which has pushed mainstream cars aside as it scoops the most coveted gold medal in the motor industry.

As the reigning Auto Express Car of the Year, it’s no surprise the Jag has shot straight to the top of the Driver Power 100 in its debut year.

The Jaguar was top of the pile in two areas – ease of driving and braking, thanks to its unique gear selector dial, accurate steering plus strong stopping power.

Other highlights include sixth for the cosseting ride and seventh for performance. With more powerful diesels and petrols now here, the pace rating is only likely to improve.

Despite finishing in five top 10s, the XF has one blot on its copybook: a lowly 85th for reliability is a poor figure at this end of the overall chart, and reflects early teething troubles.

There’s no doubt Jaguar has hit on a winning formula – it will be a tough title holder to topple next year.
