Years of criticism for being too 'traditional' and flagging sales prompted Jaguar to take a radical step when replacing the S-Type. The Jaguar XF has hints of previous Jaguars in details of its design, but looks and feels every inch a modern, upmarket saloon, making it one of the best used cars for less than £5000. On sale until 2015, the XF received a comprehensive mid-life facelift and became the cornerstone of the modern Jaguar range. Today, it's a highly attractive used buy, offering the old Jag adage of 'grace, pace and space' for a fraction of the cost of a new model. In fact, compared to the latest XF, the Mk1 feels even more Jag-like, with a fantastic interior that effortlessly blends contemporary styling with traditional materials. The XF range is wide, with sensible diesels going all the way up to a brutally supercharged 5.0-litre V8? Competitors? Well, naturally the Germans – the BMW 5 Series is the most obvious choice, with a model to rival every variant of the XF. You might also consider something like a Lexus GS as a left-field but dependable alternative.As well as a full complement of front and side airbags, Jaguar XF safety is enhanced by a pop-up bonnet to improve protection for pedestrians should they be misfortunate enough to be hit. Electronic stability control is also standard across the range and there is an optional blind spot warning system which illuminates a light in the door mirror glass if another vehicle is occupying the blind spot. However, the XF was awarded just four stars in the Euro NCAP safety tests. With a boot capacity of 500 litres (540 if a puncture repair kit is chosen instead of the space-saver spare wheel) the XF has more space for luggage than any previous Jaguar and is competitive with other cars in this class. There are a few other storage compartments in the cabin – the front door bins will carry a half-litre bottle of water very easily, plus the cup holders in the front can be used for storing other items.The XF marked a radical departure in terms of styling for Jaguar and while there's still plenty of wood, it is used in a modern way with the main facing dashboard panels trimmed in aluminium. There are plenty of unique feelgood features in the XF from the start button light that pulsates like a heartbeat to the cylindrical gear selector which silently slides up out of the centre console. Other touches include blue lighting around the controls (inspired by Motorola mobile phones) and air vents that automatically revolve closed when you turn the engine off. Jaguar has also done away with the need for switches or buttons for the glove compartment and overhead reading lamps – touching a point in the wood veneer opens the glovebox and touching the lights will switch them on or off. The satellite navigation system (standard on all models) is a modern-looking touch-screen version and other functions, such as ventilation or heated seats are also accessed through it.
