2011 Jaguar XJL
Ok I've had this car for nearly 20k miles now and I'm loving it. When I first purchased the car, the dealer had to update the software for my bluetooth to work with my phone. Not long after that, Sprint/HTC sent an update and now the phone is perfectly integrated with the car. I had an issue with the sunroof making a "popping" noise when I hit a bump or entered ...

Re: I am thinking of buying a Jaguar XJ8 [adoug]
super car - had one for 5 years it was purrrfect. Watch out for the ones pre 2000 - they had issues with timing chain tensioners and the nikasil bore problems - there is an engine number after which all is well, sadly I don't have this any more. Having said that, my car was a 99 and the engine was smooth and quiet and never missed a beat. Sold it ... Read More

Re: gregg [marsha7]
I don't think Ford dealers ever serviced Jaguars, except for the odd used one bought at a Ford dealer. Lots of service centers can service Jaguars...it doesn't necessarily have to be a dealer. The 2004 and up XJ is classified as a large car. The 2003 and before was considered mid-size by the EPA. The legroom in a regular wheelbase XJ now is within half an inch of the amount offered ...

Re: 2001 or 2003 XJ8? [hofiii]
Thanks for your response hofiii! It seems like there are some conflicting reports regadring when Jaguar stopped using the Nikasil engines. What I found in my research was, that if the last 6 places of the VIN start with the letter 'F', then the vehicle does not use Nikasil and is fitted with steel liners. According to this the '01 i was looking at does NOT have the Nikasil. Do you ... Read More

Re: 2001 or 2003 XJ8? [mstender]
I would seriously consider the 03 because it is only 1K more and you would not have any chance of purchasing an auto with a potential Nikasil problem. It was a known problem for late 97 - 01 4.0L V8 Jaguars and BMWs as well. The nikasil liner was abolished by the '02 -'03 models. You can read about it on the internet if you'd like. Also, I'd like to suggest ... Read More

Jag XJ then and now

I would drive any of them, especially models after 2000. They enhanced the steering response and suspension of the 2000-2003 models that made the car even nicer to drive.
