Here's What's Good, Bad and Weird about the 2018 Jaguar XF S Sportbrake 

Michael Bacon are you related to Kevin Bacon?

higher ground clearance and it will sell

Rediscover Film Or maybe Michael Bolton.

Michael Bacon My 1st love was the E61 M5 wagon I remember back in 2006 just here a race car come by didn’t see it but it was a M5 the whole time

@@williamerazo1685 Higher ground clearance and will be an SUV. Regardless...it isn't selling. You can get a brand-new 2018 for around $50k. This is a car with a $73-$85k sticker price. *I did-fantastic car :)

Leo Wilson I agree! Only that even SUVs don’t usually have off-road capabilities. (Which kind of defeats the point) Other than that, I agree completely!!

I'm loving the V90's. What year is yours? How has the reliability been?

Norm K. What’s wrong with them? They are no worse than BMW or Mercedes. Not quite Audi quality. Statistically they are more reliable.

This XF Sportbrake was launched mid 2017, the XE was launched late 2015, the new XF (X260) was launched around September 2015, the latest XJ version was launched in 2009 and has been tweaked twice, around 2014 and 2015. Given the above, how can you base your ignorant comment? just please, don't go back to "when Jaguar was part of Ford . . ." BS

Fireball i believe wagons where never really popular in the us in the first place hence no comeback ?

Wagon everywhere ? I need to move in Germany !!!

Fireball but SUVs are booming in Germany/ Austris sadly.

Räuber Hotzenplotz true words but wagons are still quite popular wait what you are german too? lol

XF Sportbrake is available in USA

That wagon really looks nice, I think it's much nicer looking then the original panamera .

Bextar636 no one is cross shopping a luxury European wagon with a lesbianmobile.

jak p............So what do you drive, a pink smart car with a rainbow flag on the antenna...

I think your comment is spot on and I'm in complete agreement with you on the Volvo/Jag comparison. I sat in the Jag at the LA car show, and despite the fact that I love the exterior design, that's not where I am when I'm driving. The Volvo interior is lights out. The Merc is really nice as well with the Jag wagon in 3rd place. The Merc wagon even comes with the turbo V6 and it undercuts the Jag on price. Seems weird that the value lux wagon might actually be the Merc.

@@jakp8777 you'd be surprised how many extremely wealthy families drive outbacks

Yo Sam And also lower back to it's original ride height.👍

actually they should add an adjustable air suspension similar to the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk so you get the best of both worlds no matter where you decide to go. Shucks then they will want $50 for the dang thing...LOL

Yo Sam Maybe so as an option, but it'll add a lot of cost and complexity.

Totally agree if they would put that in there they would definitely have a great option in a segment that's not really around at Buick prices. I think the newest GS is over 300hp, it would be pushing the $45k mark.

95blckfirebird1 why do people in the the US are so crazy for cars with more than 400hp? You can not use the whole power anyway, legally!

@El Sordo don't get me wrong. I love to drive fast or a nice V8. My favourite Top Speed was in a Roadster with 245kmh / 152mph in a BMW Z4 with open roof. Or 100kmh / 62 mph in an Army Truck from a hide out on to the airport as a machine gunner. To secure the airport in a training simulation with the US forces. Also I love the Ram Trucks or Jaguar Cars as well. It seems for me that Jaguar are still and Saab have made very good cars. However, 400+ Horsepower will not be able to be used without electronic restriction in the drive. Otherwise you will have very likely constant spinning wheels etc so it will be a tricky drive and very hard to control the power.

Buick brought the Wagon back with the Regal nice looking ride.

When Merc stop making taxis perhaps.

Yup, same here. But only because the Jaaaag’s six cylinder isn’t available as a manual. In that configuration (manual, four-cyl.) the Volvo has the bigger power output.

Class leading means in its class. (Mercedes, Volvo, BMW, etc.). Subaru is in a different class my friend

All caps please, WAGONS RULE !!!!!!

5 years later, you're wrong. they all went away again.

James Maney because people like the high seating position

Height/Authority Issues . . .

Maybe some people like the higher roof line.My thought is build both and let the customer decide what suits them best.Although I seem to be seeing more small crossovers than I used to.

Low to the ground \

Looks to me like its to low for more offroading than a dirt road.But if somebody ain't interested in going offroad with it,then it may suit them.

Kia Hwee Lee Not really anymore overall.

Ryan Littleton Bought a brand new XF in 2016. Within weeks, problems started to surface. There were about 8 to 9 problems which include inability to register and retrieve address from the map system, blue screen for the center console, spoilt rear (reverse) camera, air conditioning not cold, moldy seat belt and multiple cabin rattling sounds. For each problem, I had to go to the service center 2 to 3 times to finally fix 1 problem. I also needed to leave the car for few days to a week on several occasions. It was a nightmare and this lasted for about 9 months. The worst were cabin rattling sounds. So difficult to detect the faults especially they were not consistent. I wanted to return the car but the dealer refused saying that it was not bad enough (e.g. not like the engine blown up). Drove me mad. Who on earth want to spend so much money to get oneself this type of torture. Till today, slightly more than 2 years, new rattling sound and squeaky brake surfaced. There is a market saying now, “You can’t spoil a Toyota and you can’t fix a Jaguar”. This is how bad the reputation of JLR is. I don’t understand why they don’t replace the CEO to a German or Japanese. This really tarnish the attitude and workmanship of British and Indian.

Ryan Littleton If this is not enough, go watch 'Top 10 Worst Automakers: 2018' by autoguide.com in RU-vid. JLR usually beats everyone to win this award.

Kia Hwee Lee I've already seen it. I don't base it on one video. I base my opinion on what they've been doing over the past several years.

Kia Hwee Lee Sounds more like you got a lemon.

We just need every other normal consumer to think that too. I love wagons they are amazing ad the look drop dead gorgeous.

Agreed. I really miss my 05 Legacy GT wagon. Little love for wagons these days. On the contrary i was in Germany and it's just the opposite, they love them wagons.

The Missing Link's Younger Brother actually here in the U.S. it is considered quite bad. A 340i for example achieved 21 in the city and 31 on the highway. It still has over 300 hp and is much more efficient overall. And the big brother 540i series achieves 21 and 30 respectively.

Mi amigo, in the real world you wont get those numbers, thats some toyota camry numbers. Unless you will always go 50- 55 mph on the 70 speed limit highway, and drive like a grandma in the city..:D

maniac32145 well this has 380 hp not necessarily the most fuel efficient

Power of Pine Sol thats what I was saying to Jordan Banko:)

maniac32145 Mi amigo! I’m glad you could give me your input because you’re absolutely wrong! I have extensive time driving both of these vehicles and can say they return over their original promise. I even drove a 330i that’s guaranteed for 24 and 34. I returned over 30 in the city and actually achieved 42 on the highway traveling 74 mph the entire journey. BMW does a great job with their twin scroll turbos.

Non-turbo I hope.

Just like most every other vehicle, it's about image and what it says about you. This one says "I have money and want some utility but want something more unique and better handling than an SUV or crossover".

stickloaf It's probably Sportbreak not brake....

It will sell to those who can afford it.
