i own 530d and its superb although for performance i drove an audi a8 4.2 tdi quattro and was blown away by how fast that diesel car could hustle.

In fact i'd say the jag diesel in the xf is rated as best in class from what i've read, and this seems to back it up

The smaller engines ( 4pot ) are PSA and the Ford ones are the bigger ones.......so you couldnt be more wrong
As I was alluding to, its a shame the fantastic 3.0 twin turbo diesel isnt showcased in a Ford model.

ahh your on about the 2010 one as the others are no where near the 535d? as for the 2010 version i think you will find there both Ł44k OTR as new? jag is not faster its a tad slower
but hardly anything in it and think theres about 6mpg between them

what do you want to use it for though?
and what budget?
if it's for pimping then the audi q7v12d is about Ł90k at one end of the scale whereas you could possibly pick up a mondeo sttdci for around Ł6k
the beemers got 3 different engines as far as i'm aware, the older 2.9, the newer 3.0 and then the twin turbo'd 3.0
but if you are doing motorway miles and just want economy then the little audi lumps are cracking, i've seen 83 mpg out of one on a run

as above budget is a big factor here - what are you looking to spend?
I had around 6.5k so went for the mondeo st tdci - great car/engine combo
Plus it could be for sale if your looking???
