- 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! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I have had a number of Jaguars the last one being a XKR 5ltr 500bhp.I changed this for a 600bhp Bentley Continental convertible .A wonderful car but the nearest specialist was 100 miles away .Repairs were very expensive the last fright was a possible roof control switch which would cost over £1000 !!! Upon retirement bought a 3ltr XF and was impressed with the performance and the economy. Regarding your problems as someone else said it's the angle of the wiper arms (surprised a garage didn't know this) . Cruise control doesn't usually use brakes to slow down going down hill but engine braking , which is limited I guess by the compression on the smaller 2 ltr.
I don’t own one of these and never have, but love the love of them and found myself watching videos of Jaguar XF’s lol. Great video btw, you’re a good presenter 👍🏻
Hi Henry
Thanks ever so much for your comment and I’m so glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks also for being my 600th subscriber! 🎉😊🤩
@@bobbyfreemandrives8342 oh wow, that’s really cool 👌🏻
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
Thank you so much Paul. Yes I must say I really enjoyed driving the E Pace. I’ll definitely consider it when I change the XF. Speak soon! 👍🏻😊
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!
Thanks for your comment Hinesh. Glad you are pleased with your XF. Yes I get lots of compliments too. That’s one point I should have mentioned ruined in the video!

Juddering wipers is usually caused by the arms being slightly twisted. Only happens in one direction of wipe.
Hi Matt
Yes it only happens one way. I might take it to the dealer and tell them to check this. Thanks very much 👍🏻
@@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.

Ah ok, thanks Matt. I’ll give that a go 👍
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
Thank so much for your comment
@chrisg1628 and thanks for subscribing!
Looking forward to hearing more from as the channel grows. Hope your XF continues look after you well ! 🙏👍
Great car. I’ve recently got the Jaguar XE.. switched from BMW. Think I’m staying with Jaguar for a while. Also, you’re a great reviewer.. keep it up. Subscribed
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Michael. It can be a lonely process making TH-cam videos so it really means a lot to me when people say nice things like that. Looking forward to hearing more from you as the channel goes forward.
Best wishes,
Bobby. 😎😊
I had a 13 plate one, and the boot was all covered you couldn't see any metal, I had a 17 plate xe and that was like yours, obviously the accountants thought they could save a few quid doing tricks like that on their range.
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!
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'.
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. 👍🏻
OEM. Original equipment manufacture. i.e Jaguar!
@@AndyK.1😂😂
I wasn’t familiar with that acronym! 😅😅
I have a 2012 and it seems the quality of the earlier cars interior was better than the 2016 new model
I’ll swap with you Steve! 😂
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.

Beautifully put. I’m going to get you to do all of my videos from now on! 😂

... and I heard since 2021 it got even worse...
Looks like you have a coating on the windscreen mine does this when I first put it on, also I have a 10 plate 3.0 do and it still has no creaks or rattles.
2.0L Diesel - Merc 220D - Just the same. Comes with the size.
Maybe you need to clean the windscreen to stop wiper problems
Hey Andy
Thanks for your comment. Yes I’ve tried cleaning the windows and also the wipers but still no good. It’s driving me mad! 😩
I had a black 2017 from 2019 to 2022 with the same engine
How did you find it Maz500?
@bobbyfreemandrives8342 the car I got was a little down on options, e.g. only part electric seats. I made a lot of content on TH-cam (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
Ive never had the wiper issue? Have you cleaned the windscreen with something dodgy?
Nope. Only ever autoglym shampoo. I think it’s something to do with the alignment. I will have to take it back to Jag I think 😞
Thanks Bobby, question is what’s your unit of measurement for the storage cubby and many will you fit? Cheers!
Hi Gordon7up
Thanks for your comment. I use many units of measurement, usually mars bars or ham sandwiches! 😂

do these have apple car play ?
Yes they do! 👍
2:18: I have the same seat noise, too. 2018 Portfolio. Super annoying.
@Heiha9
Sorry to hear that. I was beginning to think it was just me! 😂
The 2.0 petrol will pull away plenty quick enough

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)
