“I think it is fab! It's a pleasure to use every day and makes me smile every time I get in to go for drive. Its looks were a little challenging at first but I have grown to love it now.” Mr Andy Cooper, Corsham, Wiltshire.
It’s a tough market to crack, but the Jaguar XF has got this formula spot-on. Although it didn’t quite manage to defend its overall Driver Power crown, the British model is still top of its class, with its great combination of style and sporting pedigree.

Up next is the previous-generation Mercedes E-Class – a more traditional premium car that’s a big hit with buyers. Jaguar’s old S-Type provides luxury in a tempting second-hand package, resulting in a top 10 finish overall and a bronze medal here. Completing our top five luxury models are cars from BMW and Audi – and both will be looking to do better in 2011.
