I repeat what I said above.pekem said:It would be interesting to to have someone in your car to time you,0-60mph.

Your XF cleary needs checking! I have found that mine accellarates very easily to 100mph and above. On continental roads I have easily achieved 135mpg.rclifford said:We all have different perspectives on this, I think my car is sometimes almost dangerous the way it ponders away from junctions.
I also had a spirited drive down a deserted A road last night and it really struggled to top 110. A 2.0 TDI A4, 3 series, Passat whatever you choose would blitz an XF down any road, which I don’t feel is good enough for a 2.7 twin turbo car.
So much so I have contacted Jaguar to get the car checked out.
That's interesting. I also have one of those and do not recall it being included in the original specification! That is also a another problem with the satnav having 2 female voices in the car giving different directions!!Vapourgrey said:Your car could well have a problem. During a trip to Germany with only 1200 miles on the clock, my (loaded down) 2.7D accelerated to 130 mph without fuss. It would have gone considerable faster had it not been for the speed limiter in the passenger seat!
That's really good news, better still were it not to have reached 60rclifford said:We all have different perspectives on this, I think my car is sometimes almost dangerous the way it ponders away from junctions.
