Keeps on ticking
Nice car but get the extended warranty. At 84000 miles I can not bring myself to sell it!

Love/hate relationship
I and everyone else who rides in the car love the styling, inside and out. It is very comfortable and cruises great on any highway - smooth, fast, quiet, and 30+ mpg. My spouse really loves it in every way. But I pay the maintenance and repairs!! And at 30000 miles it has had a lot of repairs - radio (several times), transmission, heater valve, upper radiator hose, trunk, front wheel well, etc. We have 5 vehicles and drive a lot of miles a year 85,000+. I love to drive this car - it is my favorite, but the repairs are very disappointing.
The Cat Came Back
I have loved the Jaguar since the mid-1960's when the XKE convertible was first introduced into my auto-awareness. Anyway, tales of over heating and over dependence on mechanics kept me from owning one of these beautiful cars. Then, FORD "purchased" Jaguar, and the folk lore contended that now Jag was just a ford with a hood ornament. Finally, I drove one. OMG What an incredible car this S Type, V8 dream car has become. This is the best car I've ever ownded. Thank the maker ... Jag got it right. Thanks FORD for investing in this 100% British manufactured dream car. THE CAT CAME BACK ;0)
My 6th Jag
Vehicle very responsive and comfortable.We are short and it fits us perfectly. Head room s better than previous models for our taller friends.The best most responsive of all the Jags we have owned. Has a real sports feel. Mileage on the road exceeded the stiker mileage.
Sportscar luxury
I enjoy driving this car because it has sports car handling. I am having trouble with acceleration hesitation. Dealer shops are few and expensive. This car has a long hood and low ground clearance that my wife dislikes. The car is kind of difficult to get in, but comfortable once inside except for long trips. This car shines out good, but is a magnet for vandals.
