2010 Jaguar XF Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Jaguar XF:

The steering is light but there is reasonable feel, and it's accurate and responsive. Plus you get enough clues through the seat as to what the Jag is up to, which, from mid-corner onwards, is whatever you want it to do.

-- Autocar

From the pulsating starter button to the mechanized revolving air vents and pop-up rotary gearshift, the XF does things differently. There's a sense of fun, of what-the-heck style missing in the ascetic logic of German rivals.

-- CAR

This is a truly world-class car. Its cabin is so good that driving anything else is usually a comedown. It's a beautifully resolved car.

What reviewers liked least about the Jaguar XF:

Rotating gear console is not to everyone's taste; most testers like it but some hate it, claiming that it's not intuitive to use.

-- Autocar

Okay, yes, it's stiffer-riding than we're used to and porky kerbweights blunt key performance and emissions figures, but it still wafts and inspires, steers and slurs like the best Jags of yore.

-- CAR

Best one-liner about the Jaguar XF:

Great ride and handling, huge performance, refinement, space, looks.

-- Autocar

History will judge the XF as the Jaguar that replaced mundane with modern.

-- CAR

The XF truly is a sublime package.
