Pros: Exterior Styling, Handling, Acceleration
Cons: Dismal interior, build quality, serious design flaws. Unacceptable at this price.
The Bottom Line: For the exorbitant price, the car should be more comfortable, more spacious and more durable. Consider Lexus instead.
Our family purchased the XJR to replace a lesser X-type. The drive is responsive and fun. On back-roads across the lower Catoctins, it literally pounced up hills and could zip around slower cars in traffic. The accelerator was quick to respond and ...

Pros: Fantastic ride, comfort and luxury. Unique but highly reliable and solid.
Cons: Uninspiring exterior styling. Lacks the usual Jaguar distinctive exterior.
The Bottom Line: Definitely would recommend buying as a used car. Quality and reliability are outstanding. A much better value compared to Mercedes, BMW or Lexus and a more distinctive and unique car.
We purchased the 2004 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas new in August, 2004. This is the first model year for this new body style and unfortunately it was only available in the short wheel base at that time. Starting in 2005, the long wheel base was introduced which ...

Pros: Power, gas mileage, appointments, fun to drive, sexy, reliability.
Cons: Hard to enter, hard to exit. Setting your preferences with on-board computer every time.
The Bottom Line: Fun to drive car, exotic styling, It's a Jag.
I bought my 2004 Jaguar XJ8 recently, there is a lot to get used to being a former Mercedes E Class owner. The 04 XJ is lighter than most cars in its class which gives optimum gas mileage. The ride is as a sports car, most times I forget how much car it ...

Pros: Style, pace, and grace, this Jaguar has them in spades.
Cons: Wood and leather are here, as well as some FORD parts
The Bottom Line: If you have always wanted a Jaguar but were afraid because of questionable build quality or stodgy dynamics, have no fear with this cat...it won't claw you
The 2004 Jaguar XJ series represents a leap forward for the Coventry Cat. Acceleration, handling, and comfort are as far removed from the outgoing XJ as the look of the new is so close to a classic Jag. My review comes from three months of ownership of ...

Pros: Great styling, responsive handling and quick acceleration with good gas mileage. Comfortable, eye-catching and fun!
Cons: No keyless entry and no way to lock the car without the fob.
The Bottom Line: If you can afford a vehicle in this class, the Jaguar XJ8 VDP is a sharp looking automobile that delivers style, comfort and fun in a fuel efficient package.
I bought the Jaguar XJ VDP in September of 06 when it had only 7500 miles on it. I debated between the Jag and the Lexus, worried that the Jag might not hold up to the wear and tear that the Lexus reportedly could endure. I really loved the styling of ...
