In terms of the sports saloon market over the past few years you would have been quite silly to look any further than the German market, in particular the absolutely outstanding BMW M5 which has been trail-blazing a lead ahead of the likes of Audi and Mercedes-Benz for a great deal of time now. However, there is a rival to the M5's crown that certainly looks like slightly more than just a flash in the pan; the Jaguar XF.
OK, on paper the plucky German saloon seems to be winning without breaking a sweat; it has more BHP, better brakes, 1500 more revs, a higher speed gearbox and some of the most geeky gadgets that have ever been seen in a car outside of a James Bond film. However, the Jaguar XF as 80 more torques, which to the uninitiated means that the cornering and the first 6000 revs of acceleration can be done at pretty much warp speed.
It seems to me that the Jaguar XF is more of a driver's car than its BMW rival. It is incredibly comfortable in comparison to the BMW M5's rather boxy seats, which frankly leave my 6 foot frame feeling ever so slightly cramped. The XF seems to mould itself round you like a rather powerful, metallic duvet.
It is no surprise that Jaguar cars don't come cheap, so before melting your credit card on the rather whopping retail price, I would recommend checking the Used Jaguar market, as it is possible to find nearly new models with huge amounts slashed off the original price.
