  • So, after living with my diesel Jaguar XF R-Sport for two years, I've really got to know this car inside and out so I wanted to make a video to let you know all the good and bad things that I wouldn't usually be able to pick up on in a normal review.
    If you are considering buying one of these then this video is going to be super useful in helping you to make a decision.
    I hope you enjoy it and, as always, don't forget to subscribe and press the like button and I look forward to reading your comments in the section below!

    Ive got an XF S in the same, ceasium blue with the black pack, roof and a whole bunch of other options and I have to say its one of the best cars i've had. I love it to bits and wouldn't change it. Its got more than enough power, handles amazing and looks like nothing else...i get a lot of compliments. Make sure you get the InControl touch pro and the right colour(s) and you will be more than happy with it!

    Hi Bobby have had an early XF Premium Luxury a Jaguar XE R Sport and now have a E Pace out of them all the E Pace is by far the best for lack of issues mind you is an HSE spec still gives you something to review socks and all !!! the spec plays a big part in the quality you receive it shouldn't I know they are all expensive another great review

    An excellent review. Thank you. The jag premium have fixed all those flaws, esp the wipers. In fact I measured quality of all other cars against the wipers on my 2008 jag xf premium. Nothing compared. I have a 2017 xf r sport now and the wipers r poor but a great car overall, esp the 55-60 mpg plus

    I have a 2016 XF R Sport, by far the most annoying thing is dealing with Jaguar dealers and the made up servicing pricing structure they seem to have, that and the car has no way of telling you the ad blu is getting low so you just get a message saying the car will self destruct in 500 miles (I think this was fixed on later models) other than that a great car with none of the issues you seem to have encountered 😅😅

      Hi Chris
      Thanks so much for your message. Your point about the adblue me laugh! 😂
      I agree with you about the dealerships. I’ve had a mixed experience depending on which one o go to.
      Glad you’re enjoying your Jag and haven’t experienced the same problems as me.

      My 2017 XF Prestige 2.0 litre diesel has a sub-menu (which I only found by accident) which tells you how many miles remain before the Adblue runs out. Also, the warning for diminishing Adblue in the reservoir comes up on the instrument panel in stages...basically (1) Getting Low - top up asap, (2) Getting VERY Low - do something about it NOW! (3) If you don`t refill NOW the engine will not restart!

      Just come across this video whilst considering an F pace as the family car. I’ve had a 2017 XF.
      To be frank Jaguar do take shortcuts where quality matters, it is evident if you ever do any repairs on the car yourself. Having said that, I don’t recall any issues with rattles in the interior or juddering wiper blades.
      The next car I had was a 520d. The Jaguar handled better along with a softer ride but the 5 series felt like it was built ground up and with quality in mind. My impression was it was next gen luxury compared to the Jaguar.

    There is no intrinsic problem with the wipers. Just make sure windscreen is completely free from traffic film or any other left over film, and that the wiper blades are OEM and kept clean. Mine work perfectly as long as I stick to those 'rules'.

    • @bobbyfreemandrives8342
      @bobbyfreemandrives8342  Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks Fraser
      I do keep the window as clean as possible and the same with the wipers. It’s really strange and I just can’t work out the problem. I currently have Jaguar blades on there but maybe I’ll try OEM ones like you suggested. Thanks for the advice. 👍🏻

    Juddering wipers is usually caused by the arms being slightly twisted. Only happens in one direction of wipe.

      @@bobbyfreemandrives8342 Hi Bobby. You can do it yourself. Take the wiper blade off gently twist the arm in the direction it judders (if that makes sense). Use pliers with a cloth around the jaws to avoid marking the wiper arms.

      @bobbyfreemandrives8342 the car I got was a little down on options, e.g. only part electric seats. I made a lot of content on CZcams (some are removed due to low views), and I tried to add a lot of stuff that I could fit myself and/or are cheap and easy OEM parts for the dealer to install. I did not have your issues with the seats, nor the wipers, I sold it at 98k miles, which given the fact it's an ingenium diesel must be on borrowed time since many habe failed at 70k. That being said I would almost always fill V-Power/Ultimate, give it RedEx shots, and mainly drive it on motorways/dual carriageways

    Erm, you lost me right at the start... how can you imply that your channel is for car lovers when you've just spent 2 years driving round in a car that no-one who likes let alone loves would drive due to it being -
    Far too modern
    The size of a small lorry
    A f-ing diesel (lol)
