Is the XFR just too mad!?

[Russ68]

I'm in the market for a new (to me) Jag, I really wanted an XKR, but occasionally needing to take out more than 1 adult out might be a dealbreaker  My budget dictates early models of either vehicle 😉 

So I've been researching with interest my XF options, and the 5.0 XFR seems to be absolutely fantastic! Even Clarkson liked it and he hated the S-Type! I'm coming round to the idea that I need to own one just for the experience! Even if I then pass it on and 'settle' for an XFS which appears to be 1/2 the tax, 1/2 fuel, more torque and TBH, more than adequate performance.

If the owners of either XFR or XFS were able to give their thoughts and comments I'd really appreciate it. My head is saying I'm mad for considering XFR when the XFS is almost as good, but what petrolhead wouldn't want to own the XFR £70K rocketship!

I've also seen there is an early 4.2 XF SV8, are these worth considering too, or in for a penny, in for a 5.0 £ 😆

I think you will end up regretting it if you don't get the XFR. Go for it!!!
