Picked this up a week ago as a replacement to a tired Mazda 6:



The colour is very similar to the Rosso Pearl I had on my Chim. It's a 3.0D Portfolio S

Car was an ex Jag mgt car with 8,700 miles on the clock, standard spec + keyless entry, meridian surround sound, blindspot monitoring, spare wheel, reversing camera, 20" kalimnos wheels & red zone interior!

Over the moon with it!



Interior doesn't photo well but just works. Dash top is black leather with red stitching & then you have the seats:



All the toys in it, comfy and capable of 40mpg when not pressing on!

Lovely - I've had 4 E Class estates and would consider an XF SB if the carrying capacity was just that bit more.

Load space is not the best due (i think) to the roof line. I have to admit I'm looking at roof rails / roof box at the moment.

Front end:



(Ignore the state of the drive - the builders are still finishing up the garage!)

I love these cars and think that one is fantastic but I've never understood why they use silver bolts on black wheels. Always makes them look kerbed at first glance.

Great car though OP love the deep red cloud9

Excellent, well done! I drove a 3.0 S saloon for a couple of days last year as a courtesy car, I loved it. Lovely colour too.

New garage build is still in progress but managed to clear enough space to get the car in for a polish....

Very nice! My XJ 350 2.7Tdvi has been in Jaguar Burnham all last week and they gave me an XF Sportsbrake as a loan car. It had the 2.2 Dci engine which doesn't inspire visions of fun but it did the job. Also had keyless entry, meridian surround sound, blindspot monitoring, a spare wheel, and the reversing camera with the little yellow lines that move when you turn the steering wheel - how clever although I still found myself looking in the mirrors to check that we were going were we were supposed to go! hehe

The 3.0i is the bigger version of the 2.7 that I have and I should imagine it produces a lot more wallop. I believe you get these up to 275hp and nearly 500ft/lb with a proper rolling road map. I've asked a salesman to keep an eye out for the 3.0D as they are being replaced with the facelift model introducing the smaller engines from the XE series (which are very good as I've test driven the 180bhp) although they are a lot noisier than the V6's.

Great car enjoy beer

This has 275 PS and 600Nm torque... goes well. And they quote the same mpg as the non 'S'.. 46mpg combined (I'm getting 35). Will do 40+ on a run

Car is now on 25k or so.

1 service in (including a set of rear tyres and rear pads).

Had an XE as a courtesy car. Interior wasn't as nice as the XF but the chassis was lovely.

Also treated myself to a private plate which has meant I could finally get rid of the wonky rear plate

Lovely colour, so different than the usual black.
