2014 Jaguar XJ - Completely satisfied!

The Jaguar XJ has been one of my dream cars for a long time now! I was finally able to get one used with under 30,000 miles. Jaguar has always made a fine line of cars, and is without a doubt top notch in quality and in performance. Honestly, I already knew how well made this car was before I purchased it, but when I finally got behind the steering wheel of this beauty and took it for a spin it blew me away. Jaguar is actually an imported line of automotive cars, they are handmade in England, and imported to the United States accordingly. The car drives exceptionally smooth, and it almost feels as if you are floating on air when you are driving it. Also, the leather seats inside this car are made with exceptional quality. You can really tell the difference between the quality of leath... (more)

Story

A fun, memorable story that I have was when my family and I took this car to Florida for the weekend to visit family and go to the beach.

Pros

Some pros for this vehicle include stunning style, great performance, exceptional reliability, the car is made with exceptional thick leather seats. Also this car has excellent safety features.

Cons

Some cons about this vehicle are that the gas mileage is not the best for this car, but it is a rather large sedan so you have to put that in comparison with the gas mileage. Another major con is that if anything goes wrong with this car it can be rather pricey to fix.

1998 Jaguar XJ - Excellent Example of British Engineering

My 1998 Jaguar XJ8 has withstood the test of time with grace and strength. The ride is extremely smooth and the handling exceptional. The interior and exterior are still in excellent condition. This car was designed so that both the driver and the passengers experience comfort and luxury. This is the perfect car for road trips, it's spacious, comfortable and fun to drive. I am a Realtor, and this car is the perfect vehicle for driving clients to see listings.

Story

I recently drove several friends to Las Vegas in my Jaguar XJ8, and we had a great time! Everyone had enough leg room, the stereo sounded great, the climate control was perfect, and the ride was very smooth. At every stop along the way, people admired the car. As we drove up the strip it really drew attention. We were driving the finest car we saw on the trip! When we pulled up to the hotel v... (more)

Pros

The automatic transmission glides through its paces, creating an exceptionally smooth driving experience. The vehicle is well balanced, and a joy to drive. The sound system performs remarkably well and compares favorably to a high end home system. The interior appointments include genuine burled walnut panels and a plethora of storage compartments. Climate controls can be set to maintain an exact temperature inside the cabin. The trunk is ample, and features a valet parking lock, so that a valet can drive the vehicle without having access to the trunk.

Cons

It is a full sized car, so some parking spaces may not be appropriate. The leather interior needs special care. Avoid spilling liquids inside! The gas mileage is about average for a full size sedan, I am getting about 23 MPG on average. Repairs are becoming difficult, as the model is no longer in production. We are having to source rebuilt parts rather than new for most repairs going forward.

1990 Jaguar XJ - Comfortable but hard to maintain.

This Jaguar is an old car with many miles, but it is still nice to drive. It needs a paint job and a differential oil change. The upholstery needs mending, anything made of plastic is breaking, and some decorative hardware has fallen off. Some special tools are needed to maintain this car that the average mechanic may not possess, costing extra money to fix. After all of these years there are still some positives to driving the Jaguar. The ride is smooth, quiet and comfortable. The interior is clean and mostly undamaged. It has a sport mode feature which allows the car to use more gas to accelerate faster.

Story

My children and I regularly like to drive to the park that is a bit too far away to walk to.

Pros

It is still a very powerful car despite being almost 30 years old. The interior is nice, and the car is very pleasant to drive.

Cons

This 1990 Jaguar XJ just costs too much to maintain. It requires premium gasoline and special tools to fix. The gas mileage is terrible; it seems to only get about 12 miles to the gallon.
