Just bought exactly this, in white. 40k miles full Jaguar service history. Absolutely amazing car, highly recommended, and very well priced in the used market for what you get.

Well done John for finding this beauty 😎

First time I've seen a car being tested on the Trough - great! I've got the very same model, 13 reg, Italian Racing Red, Ivory leather, 20" black alloys, black body pack (no chrome), sun-roof, 825W Meridian wireless set. Had it nearly five years, and I will never sell it - ever! Great review!

I think this Jaguar badge is actually at the top, thanks.

Thanks for enthusiasm, this car deserves this video ... especially what you feel when you drive it ! It's something unique & thanks to Ian Calumn for his vision to be the Nr.1 sport saloon car ! They own it! The engineering on this car is outstanding ... somewhere smarter than Mercedes! I own it & discovered it myself ! Thanks to the Design & Engineering team! And your enthusiasm! Keep that ;)

The best Jaguar sedan ever made. XFR with the 5 litre was the pinnacle. This twin turbo V6 is the pick for power and economy, have the same engine in my F Pace. It's a pity cars like this are a dying breed.

I love the desing and philosophy behind British cars, but I'm so scared of high costs of repairing them. That's why I drive a 2012 Honda instead of a 2012 Jaguar, even though they cost the same to purchase.

Not really a fan of a diesel. but l have a 2.0 which is very fast despite it being a 4 cylinder engine 0-60 - 5.7 seconds for me and it was hella worth it despite it being cheap

Are these reliable cars as they start to get older?

I agree, The 3litre bmw diesel doesn't break its own crankshaft, it's more fuel efficient, cheaper to tax, is euro 6 instead of 5 and the 35d is more powerful. The 2.2 litre ford engine although more reliable is from a mondeo and transit van. Ive been looking at these jags and considering buying one but because of the above mentioned I might end up going for a 5 series, I believe the bmw would hold its value better too, these jags might end up devaluing like a rover 75.
