Jaguar XF (2008 - 2015)
5.0 XFR V8 Supercharged 510 4dr Auto Saloon
Absolutely mental.
Probably the best combination of practicality (even the rear seats fold down), performance, and pleasure available on four wheels. The manufacturer's performance claims are conservative in the extreme; it is so much quicker than any of the "competition", yet manages also to be more refined and understated; classy and not brash. The speed limiter is a figment of Mr Jaguar's imagination; pulling out of a rest area onto a clear autobahn, 190 mph takes less than 50 seconds.
Handling is utterly sublime, almost incredible for such a heavy car; it seems to shrink around the driver, reacting to one's thoughts.
Completely reliable and having the eight speed gearbox, not as heavy on fuel as one might expect.
It is criminal that Jaguar do not make a successor.
