Review
I bought the 1994 XJ12 (XJ81) because this was the only year it came in the XJ40 body style. The car seems heavy compared to the excellent XJ6 (XJ40), but the 6.0L V-12 delivers much more torque. Still, a poor trade off and the fuel consumption is hard to take. If you're a Jag guy, the car disappoints a little. If you're not a Jag guy stay far away - it will eat you out of house and home.
Favorite Features
Power. Interior. Ride. Sound system.
Suggested Improvements
Balance weight front to rear. Shift-kit the transmission. Firmer ride. Fuel consumption is evil for 308HP.
Thrilling Car

Review
In the 10 years I have owned this car I have had no repairs at all. A battery, two front shocks, and a set of tires are all I have put into it. It has not been to a dealer at all in ten years. It is garaged and I use it almost exclusively with top down, which is frequent here in Florida. I have thought about a new one, but this style is too outstanding!
Favorite Features
The long hood design or style of the car. Almost every time I drive into town, someone in traffic or a parking lot will compliment this car.
Suggested Improvements
Better gas mileage, and use regular gas would be nice. Also, it would be nice if the mechanical arms of the convertible top would go down further out of sight. Looks OK with the boot on but still is up too high.
GOOD PRICE GOOD CAR

Review
I bought this car last October. I had to change the oil pump, it was expensive. Not only was repair very expensive the local Jag dealer had it for 2 months because they really didn't know how to deal with this car. But to the dealerships credit I have not had a problem since the repair. My only advice is if you buy this car--remember its a keeper --not for future trade ( much less value than when you purchase it)

Review
Bought the car late winter this yr. Car was idle about 5 yrs. So problems were expected. So far I have repaired the AC blower motor - 1.29 part, hell to get installed. Rebuilt R/Pinion and tie rod ends, new battery, new tires, front brake rotors and pads, new roof. Had problems with electrical relays but fixed with no parts. Now the front drivers seat will not recline (bad motor) - this car is becoming a quest

This cat is a beauty!! The lines of the car are timeless, attracting attention wherever it goes. The design of the new generation convertible Jaguars can't hold a candle to these classic coach made works of art. Mechanically the car is pretty sound, but problems with the interior electrical & lighting has been frustrating. I can overlook that setback in the daytime, but at night when you need lighting to enter and egress the car it can be frustrating.
Favorite Features
Design & styling!!! Awesome smooth ride, beautiful burlwood interior, love the glass rear window, original Jaguar sound system is amazing.
Suggested Improvements
A little more pick up would be great, other than that I have no suggestions.
