Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The car looks fantastic from all angles, however, due to horrendous reliability problems, I wouldn't touch a Jag with the proverbial barge pole.
I was on first name terms with my local garage due to the number of call outs primarily due to the gear selector sticking in park on a regular basis.
Went back to E350 Mercedes after 18 months and 5 grands worth of repairs. Decent tyres replaced every 10k miles at £160.00 a corner didn't help the cause.

How reliable do you find the car?

Car came with 6 month warranty, no problems during this time. However, 6 months down the line, replaced the central locking on rear doors due to staying locked.
Drivers door c/l replaced. Rear suspension complete rebuild@ £700.00 due to bushes collapsing. Turbos rebuilt twice due to faulty solenoid problems. £1000.00 spent. Parking sensors failed.
Eats rear tyres, need changing approximately every 10k.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Too many niggling faults. After running an E-class Mercedes 320 for 600k miles with only regular servicing the Xf has been an expensive error, and sold after 18 months, replaced with another bulletproof Mercedes E class 350
