Hi all. My new website is being built. Be the first to check it out, especially if you want a Driven T-shirt or sweatshirt. tomvoelk.com Like the reviews, the clothing is only quality stuff. Cheers! TV
I have this car and I love it. The interior is leatherette but frankly it feels no different than real leather and holds up just as well additionally it won’t wrinkle up the same way either. One complaint is the rear that has very little room for adults but other than that it runs and feels great. Good review
Do a best used segment for those of looking to move into a 2-3 year old car. A brand new car always works great, factor in reliability and deprecation and you've got a whole segment I'd be very interested in.
Feel way to small after you been driving a Tahoe. Handling is okay but my 2016 Tahoe seem to be able to take it in a drag race and it rides more smoothly too! I don't know about the 0-60 at 6.8 however. Handling is better since it is smaller and a sport sedan but I would not give up my Tahoe for this XE! Price is only $10K more for my LTZ and well worth it too! Thanks for the review!
Excellent review Tom. Straight to the point and no bs. 4:18 seriously, who the hell thought it would be a great idea to paint it red instead of leaving it just plain black..
fearfactz1 ...To let other driver's know that your driving with a space saver wheel on and that you can't go too fast and to prevent being honked at every five minutes.
I just bought one second hand, the same motor as yours. In normal mode the car takes off in second gear. In dynamic it will take off in first with zero lag. It is such a beautiful ride.
I tell you Tom, this car is even blander ham the old contour based X-type. I want to like it, I do, but maybe it's the green paint with black wheels. Maybe a set of silver painted alloys might liven up its looks. I bet it's have a 80% lease take rate. It blends in way to much. Get a Maxima SR and save at least $10K or more.
More options in the UK. I just bought a 2017 one with AWD and 250bhp and only 10k miles on the clock. Black pack which includes 19" alloys, black front grill, black mirror covers and black side vents. Nice looking car with a space saver wheel too. Far better than a can of foam spray gunge if you do get a puncture!
My sister was looking at Jags. I said why a Jag? They scream rich old lady and you're not old. So I went with her to look at them. I took a turn behind the wheel just for the hell of it. I was already there, why not? All I can say is WOW! About 30 seconds in I was like OMG I want a Jag...LOL. They are amazingly seductive. She ended up buying a Lexus. I was disappointed.
The only thing really exterior wise that the accord has that is eye catching are the stock rims. Everything else is pretty typical for an economy suited car.
Wrong. I’ve had one for a year now and no issues. Additionally they have a 5 year 60k mile warranty with all the maintenance covered for those 5 years. They did have issues in the past but it’s come a long way since
Driven Car Reviews If the test car is in BRG, with black accents and rims, I think it could drive like a Prius and I would still like it. Joking apart great to see a 25t review instead of the usual V6 supercharged reviews.
tmh44 Definitely worth trying both and I would say the ATS as well. The XE lease at $279 a month though is pretty competitive, especially if can knock them down a bit.
@@DrivenCarReviews Good to know, cheers Tom. It's only that I was looking for this particular model and the earlier ones are more likely to be in my price range.
Your videos are nice but too line by line... surely the fact that it's a Jaguar plays a role in its "worthyness" its as if a KIA had all that in that Jag, you'd say they're the same....
If I'm understanding you correctly, you seem to be saying I would use the same words to describe a Jag and Kia out of laziness. I might use similar lines but it would be because the car deserves it (and really, after 800 reviews, it's hard to come up with a unique way of describing things). BTW, I'm reviewing the car, not the marketing, positioning or branding. From what I understand the new Kia Stinger holds up very well to this car. The Korean might even be better. I'll find out when I drive it.
As an Aussie, I always get a chuckle when I hear terms like "Boot" and "Bonnet". Whenever I go home I have to catch myself because now, I automatically use "Hood, trunk, gas" etc

that british green is fantastic!
Yup. It is.
Joshua George... the owner of jaguar is indian..
Sonu Nath yeah I know that already. What's your point?
Joshua George... yeah, the interior quality is not that great but ride quality is absolutely good.
Sonu Nath it will get better over the years
Love the cat cameo. Nice review!
A smart buyer will end up with a used XF 3.0 supercharged for the same price
Dan D yes, such a great catmeow.
In general like your videos but the cat cameo made me have to leave a like
See? It's working.

My "best used" segment would be to look at my reviews that are 2-3 years old. Sorry, I don't have the resources to start branching out like that.
@@DrivenCarReviews I guess the problem would also be getting a test drive long enough to do a review. It's a lot easier to do that with a new car.
That is one sleek kitty, Tom, and the Jag is looking good, too.
I loved your driven podcasts years ago and im still coming back to your videos now. As always great review!
Jags used to be exclusive and gorgeous....
Eagerly awaiting your review of the new A4

Plain and non luxurious. That fit and finish on the interior looks like a Ford.
Calvin Sanders probably worse😂 I found hard plastics in that car that wouldn’t have even been present in those areas in a fusion lmao
Great review....I only stayed to the end to catch 'da cat! you're totally upstaged, lol
i really love your videos thanks for all the hard work👍👍👍
The tail light assembly looks too fat. I like the sleek look of the new XF .
Great review as always, Tom! I look forward to our reviews whenever they are available. Anxiously awaiting your review of the new Lexus LC500....
“There’s a spare and everyone will know you’re using it”🤣
I always love your videos Tom! The cat cameo is a must with a Jaguar I think? LOL
AWD is now available for 2018 on the gas turbo four, FYI. Always like your reviews!
Sigh, these things change. I shot and edited this six weeks back when it wasn't the case. Thanks for the head's up!
how tf did they make that 4cly sound so good
Mateo12485 right in would never thought about v4 sound so good afternoon driving a lot of v8 may get this car after college
V4? It's an inline 4

If I were to upgrade from my X-Type, that's one of the things I'll miss... a full-size alloy as a spare.
i have a jaguar and all of the neighbourhood cats are hanging and resting around it , so it seems that cats do like jaguar cars weirdly enough..!?
Not a big fan of the location of the start and stop button.
Really love That car, and that color is amazing, dream car 👌🏻👍🏻🤘🏻
Love the recent Jags, although the new Guila is pretty compelling along with the new A4.
Wow 15 years ago you got so much more car for the price. The sedans are depressing these days
I just bought one second hand, the same motor as yours. In normal mode the car takes off in second gear. In dynamic it will take off in first with zero lag. It is such a beautiful ride.
Another excellent video, thank you. I really enjoy your reviews.

I have a 2005 XJR and 2002 XKR convertible, two best cars ever made. I'm not too fond of the new Jags

God the fusions 2.0 makes more power and torque. Rather have rather have the fusion sport or 3.0 MKZ twin turbo

Great review as always...thanks!
Great review. Car looks a little drab, like an unmarked police car...
But how does this compete with the Alfa Romeo Giulia?
I think that,Now is the time to brainwash those people who are concerned about the reliability of Jaguars and Land Rovers
Ask Doug Demuro about the reliability of his Range Rover!
I LOVE the relatable toilet paper trunk test. I wish you could have also driven a 6 cylinder.
Everyone has this now. 2016 accord touring looks more expensive.
The only thing really exterior wise that the accord has that is eye catching are the stock rims. Everything else is pretty typical for an economy suited car.
Nice car for sure. Would definitely go for AWD as I have seen what slight rain does to a RWD 3 series or Q50.
So when are you getting your hands on the supercharged one?
Great review Mr. Voelk👍 thanks for sharing it with us and that cat cameo🤣🤣
Been waiting for this one, great video as always!
Would you get this one over a Mercedes C-Class?
Gotta be honest, I'm not big on the exhaust note.
Daryl Shook I mean it is s turbo 4
It sounds better in person but I understand what you mean. You'll be forced to go with the supercharged 6.
What happen to factory chrome wheels on high-end vehicles??
I hope they died out. So tacky.
it's a nice car, but i prefeer the 3 series
Tom do you know if this 2 liter turbo is a Ford derivative like I the Fusion or Jaguars own design? Thanks
Hi Blake, the Ingenium engines are not Ford units.
Awesome. Thanks Tom! Amazing review as always. The cat at the end was the topper. Cheers
Can i get it for free tho?
Never seen a Jag so stunning,in that Brit racing green.
When will you do a Alfa Romeo Gulia ( Quadrifogilo ) review
I have not heard of a press car coming my way so it might be a while. Sorry!
Don't buy. JLR reliability is horrendous.
Yeah, yeah, whatever. You copy and paste that on every JLR-related video you can find.
Wrong. I’ve had one for a year now and no issues. Additionally they have a 5 year 60k mile warranty with all the maintenance covered for those 5 years. They did have issues in the past but it’s come a long way since
Really considering the 25t, but that issue with low speed city driving sounds annoying.
Test drive, test drive, test drive.
I'm cross shopping the XE with the Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti...go drive one of those for sure ;)

Nice review, I like your style but would have liked a bit more in depth onto on what it's like to drive.
I do in more recent reviews.
@@DrivenCarReviews Good to know, cheers Tom. It's only that I was looking for this particular model and the earlier ones are more likely to be in my price range.
great review as always 😊👍👍i wonder how reliable this jag is???
Everyone does.
It's a jaguar not a jag warrrr , jag u ar
severe turbo lag?
electric boot..??

thanks for the review
bro, does it contain power boot.
It's an extra-cost option
Great ending Tom
Boot. LOL
Okay, let's try the other end- bonnet. ROTFL, right?
As an Aussie, I always get a chuckle when I hear terms like "Boot" and "Bonnet". Whenever I go home I have to catch myself because now, I automatically use "Hood, trunk, gas" etc
This thing looks ten years old
@Pete - yeah it looks dated.
from the back especially
