RCGCarReviews Well, just like everybody criticizing, it is their 'opinion'. So by you saying "IMO" followed by saying nobody should criticize you (aka have an opinion) is dissimulating hypocrisy! W/e bro TH-cam isn't the place for your tender heart lmao get out of your feelings
@@ReidG_RN Regardless of what other people do, it's still pretty pathetic to spend your time picking apart a person's video that was made to help others get the information they are looking for. Why watch these videos for any other reason? It's just pathetic. Thanks for the video, it helped me with the info I was looking for.
About a year ago i got one with 58k miles and took it to the dealer and they said it needed 17k worth of repairs including the engine timing chain… your better off with another car, only get these cars if you got the $$$$ to spend. I also returned it the 2nd day
@@Prime.sam. they have updated timing chain kit, water pump, cooling hoses and injectors for XF. Once it's done with updated parts, XF is very reliable vehicle. And one of a few with V8 5.0 engine.
Reviewer: consider breaking your habit of saying "like I said". If you already said something, we know you already said it, pointing it out only makes it worse. Ideally, you simply wouldn't repeat yourself, which would kill two birds with one stone :-)
And this engine was the better engine of them all..... performance wise.......that 5.0 was beast and belive it or not ....the 2011 an 12 model was the years everyone wanted cuz it was the last year for the 5.0........now the 3.0 supercharged for 2013 was ehhh ok but the 5.0 non supercharged would still smoke that 3.0sc.
@@IbuildshipsWagnerEdmond The non-supercharged V8 makes 375 horsepower and the Supercharged V6 makes 340 horsepower. Small, but significant difference. I would go for the V8 all day unless you really like superchargers, or want a little better mpg.
I think the '12 Jag XF Portfolio is one of the single best luxury car values on the market right now. It is the peak of the X250 series, right before Jag switched over to supercharging everything. It is the final build in the X250 series and all of the bugs are worked out. It is an absolutely amazing car and very, very affordable. I wouldn't be surprised if the market realized what a fantastic buy this car is and the values rise drastically. 385hp NA 5.0L V8 that has power for days, completely loaded to the hilt with luxo features, and looks amazing? Nothing like it on the road.
I have a 2011, love it, Jag was making good cars. Idk about after 15. They stop putting v8s in them. I know a super charger with a v6 but I still want a v8.
jaguar killed it self with the XE. and with the 4 cylinder 190 horsepower diesel engines in the XF. with these tiny shit engines the XF drives really bad.
***** this video is the 5.0 V8. Yeah the little baby 4cyl XF is an excuse to boost sales on an old model, but let's not discount the family for a black sheep.
All the people criticizing this review while they have never made a review themselves 😂😂
Yep! IMO nobody has basis to criticize unless they're actively doing it themselves.

Nice review, you are good at this. Subscribed.
Thank you for this video, it is still relevant today because I plan to buy a used model exactly like this one.

Independent mechanic can fix everything for 4-5k. Timing chain job costs $1700-$2000 at euro cars shops.
@@rachelgreen1368 thats still only considering the car has only 58k miles and needs a timing chain. Its known how unreliable they are

Excellent
Love my 2011 xf
what’s the reliability like? i’m thinking about getting one
Looks the same as a 2013 except for a few features.
This is the 3.0 V6 supercharged version, not the 5.0 litre.
no, it is the 5.0 naturally aspirated v8, 385 HP
Bruh I thought these hit 470 hp

I like this! Someone actually did a real world review on a car!!
I bought it and it's a gas hog 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

+KushAudio I definitely need to work on that. I've noticed it myself.
you did a pretty good review that jaguar was icey those vents i really do like.
Thank you!! I need to make another professional video of it since I got my new camera.

but the 5.0 non supercharged would still smoke that 3.0sc.
The 5.0 Supercharged V8 continued until the 2015 model year. A Supercharged 3.0 V6 was an available option.
Are u sure because I'm trying to figure out do I get the 2012 xf v8 or 2013 supercharged v6 help

Joe GF I got one :-)
@@cruisertechgt Nice! It's an amazing car, isn't it?
Joe GF yes it is. It’s a great car people always compliment me on it even though it’s not even the latest model
is 2012 the last year of the naturally aspired V8? more reliable than the 5.0? 385hp is plenty IMO but 470 must be amazing lol. .
@@875daily 2012 is the last year of the NA V8. It's a 5.0 with 385hp.
Hahah I'm not rich by any means.
Can this still run well after 100,000 miles ?
Doesn't sound like the v8?
I have a 4.2 liter sc xf custom. I put racings cams in mine.
Great tour! This is my car!!

Adam Hellerud have you had any problems with it and is the maintenance expensive?
Does this not have remote start??
That’s NOT the dashboard but nice.. We just bought one ❤
I hear that loud fuel Injection ticking Just like mine and that other noise that people suspect timing chain but no SES LIGHT
Hey guys would you recommend this or a 2010 e63 amg ?
Are you trying to copy saabkyle
No.
No he does his own thing
^Thank you.
+Kobe Berry Jup, iam pretty sure of that
Don't hate
Thanks!
Thank you!
The review is very poor and irrelevant, learn more
Haha sorry, but no. But I'm sure a dealership somewhere has one just like this!
I love it!

Bwause83 I have you driven one? I have and I can say that you're talking nonscence, not everyone wants a big engine.
Are these cars expensive to maintain
Is a 40k xf good for long term?
Test drive this car today slow as shit for a supercharged car dosent throw u back in your seat at all
ur fucking stupid it does 12.3 stock on quarter mile that’s very close to a hellcat.
This is the 5.0 v8 not the 3.0 supercharged v6 so you indeed did not test drive this car
i nid rich friend like you lol..so i can ride wid u
they sell for 14k lmao
@@ThataiguyYt916 this review was years ago so at the time thar car would have been like 30k
Are there any downsides to this car?
Some electrical reliabilities but overall it much just expensive to maintain since parts are foreign.
Can I buy
😅
Definitely ripping off saabkyle04
I love it as well... Thanks for the kind words!
I have this exact car I love it but had maintenance problems but I knew what I signed up for , after repair its been great for a while now
What problems did it have and what was the cost?
Is it still good
My mom has this in silver... its so cool :3
she had those rims too...
She HAS those rims too... wrong spelling above
daltondrummer shes also got the V8... Basicly same car but silver body and tan seats...
Awesome! They're great cars.
