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 RU-vid 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :-)
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.
