Today I’m showcasing a Jaguar XF 2.2L diesel. I will be uploading a longer video where I show you around both the inside and the outside of the car in more detail shortly…
I want one soooo much. Still have a 2.2D X-Type, for about 10 years now, and it is an all-time favourite - much under-rated by Bavarian fan-boy motoring journalists.
Thanks for watching this video 👍🏼 I do hope that you manage to find one you like. There are some good (and affordable ones) out there. Make sure you search online for low mileage vehicles, and you will come across a good one (this car is 10 years old and I think it still looks like new) 😀
@@ragnar2320 I'm still looking, but I just spent £600 plus on my X-Type, so It's either a good time to change with a shiny new MOT, or I run it for another year or two. Decisions. 🧐
@@ToomaMac I've had my XF for 2 months now and I absolutely love it. I've owned Mercedes C300 Audi A5 Infiniti Q35 this Jag annihilates them. They are temperamental though so if you do decide I would get an extended warranty
The 2.2 is the best diesel saloon you can buy cheap from reliability and drive perspective. I am comparing with the f10, w212, audi etc. This engine is a PSA unit with belt and is tough as nails.
Seems to be a lot of good positive reviews on the XF diesel 2 litre. But the 3 litre diesel seems a better choice with little loss in economy and a lot of positives.. especially the XF portfolio S model. Good economy luxury in trim and gadgets.. power exceptional and low road tax for a luxury saloon. Cost to purchase used models much the same...why choose the 2.2?
@@kash6576 that's hard to believe..most have positive reviews of the 3.0 litre diesel engine. Every car needs to be maintained to run reliably I would say
@@mabaker7155 this is not what most engineers and testers state. Of course a large modern engine is going to be complex and that one in particular had an enormous amount of research in it's development. It's praised for being a good engine. I think you can find fault in any type of engine. On top of that many with individual past bad experiences tend to jump on the bandwagon and generalize a lot thinking all are the same. Regular maintenance this engine will easily do 250,000 miles without major faults. You will get the same negativity about Mercedes and BMW diesels across the internet.
@@voicevoice2053 Do please name these engineers. I repeat, this engine has a number of inherent faults, some of which are terminal should they occur, and are not the result of poor maintenance. The four main bearing crankshaft being the weakest component.
This probably wouldn’t be a good idea in that case if you enter the ULEZ zone regularly, or live within it. I live 200 miles away from London so it’s not something that I personally would need to consider at the moment however there are so many more factors to consider if living within or near the ULEZ zone.
Well, they are two different types of cars when you come to drive them. The XF provides a firmer ride and the seats are firmer to sit on. In my view, it’s very hard to beat the refinement of the x308. But I’m somewhat biased.
