Which engine for a Jaguar XF?
I retired a few years ago. My working life has recently changed and in future I will average less than 10k miles p.a. mainly local trips but occasional 200/300 miles each way trips. My "S" Jaguar is showing sugns of age and reluctantly I feel needs to be replaced rather than continuing maintenance.
I want similar luxury and room for Golf Clubs and Trolley (and wife). Petrol or Diesel? Jaguar XF or what other second hand car would you recommend? I can add around £18000.

XF 3.0V6 petrol models have not been built for about a year, pending the introduction of the new 3.0 supercharged engine. But if you can find one the 3.0V6 petrol XFs are not only a lot cheaper, they are more reliable than the V6 diesels and much more suitable for low mileage.

Wonderful and bespoke feeling interior. Amazingly quiet and refined. More economical 2.2 diesel from 2011. Navigation not fitted as standard on most models.
