Review
Bought this car 2 months ago and my gosh, it is just awesome. My wife loves it, my kids, I even get stopped on street asking about it. It had one issue 3 weeks into owning it and it was the front fan didn't go off and drained battery. After mechanic told me to take off negative on battery in back until he could look at it, it stopped staying on after 10 days. My Jag, fixed herself. Sick. Everyone laughed at me for buying a 1993 g including my Brit friend, but now he is even a believer. He wants my car, no way! It gets 22 on highway and 18 city. Best car I ever bought!

I have owned this car for 2 and a half years, in the winter it has bad acceleration and the accelerator would stick, but it handled very well on ice and snow covered roads. In the summer its a blast, the acceleration is smooth and fast, and having the windows down is enjoyable. But there's many problems, got it at 86,000 and now it has 106,000 miles. Replaced fuel pump twice, has had many times the car wouldnt start due to the battery or random reasons that fixed themselves. Also. the rear end is going on me just a bad experience

If you're looking for a safe, quality, comfortable vehicle this is it. Overall mine has been quite reliable with only a few wiring problems covered by warranty. The drive on it is amazing and very smooth. I was rear ended going on a highway, two other cars were smashed to pancakes mine had a bent bumper. The car is solid and it overall a good vehicle.

I love it, like my wife! However, both give me problems at times. As is known, this Series 40 is better than the previous Series III (which is better looking) but still has issues, especially later in life. Mine have included flaky security system and locks, which act up in wet weather. Particularly troubling is failure of right turn signals, which required replacement of the computer $500 used, plus labor) and not the other side isn't working.The soft leather wears in the front seats, particularly at the edge where the seat belt rubs the seat. Acceleration and handling can't be beat in a car anything like this size. It's still a good value to spend some money maintaining this classic.

I've restored a classic 50's car, owned a couple of 60's muscle cars, owned a couple later model performance cars, plus several Japanese cars, but this Jaguar was the most fun to own and drive and it by far attracted the most attention. The repair costs are slightly higher because I always used Jaguar authorized technicians, but it was well worth it. It is a little expensive to insure if you have teenagers on your policy. Unbelieveable mid-range torque and acceleration. This used to be my everyday car, but I bought an SUV and this is now my "pleasure vehicle" as the insurance company calls it, and that actually is a good adjective for this car.

I was skeptical when I purchased this
car as a Select Edition, but it has
been reliable, fun, and absolutely
beautiful to this day.

This is an awesome looking car and has
a superior ride. The air conditioner
blower motor went out and Jaguar is
the only place I could find to have it
replaced. It cost a whopping $1600.00
to repair. Other than that I love the
car. Hve you ever got away from the
Jag service department for under
$1000.00? I haven't!

This is the best car i've ever
purchased. I've had it for nearly ten
years and never had any major problems
with it. Jaguar dealership always very
helpful with everything. I highly
recommend this vehicle, or any Jaguar
to anyone who is looking for a
reliable car.

I bought this for my wife and we are
both very pleased. The Jaguar has an
excellent ride, more than enough power,
and is made almost entirely of steel.
We have an '87 SeriesIII Jaguar and
that is why we stayed with the line.
Parts are easily obtained off the web
or otherwise. In my opinion, an
excellent value for the very low prices
available as used cars.
