What’s new
Broadening appeal, Jaguar offers four trim-levels of their attractive XJ6 sedan. Analog gauges replace the digital dash that looked so out of place on last year's Jaguar. Engine power has been boosted and a new four-speed automatic transmission delivers the power to the wheels.

Mine's a 1990 XJ12 Vanden Plas - Not listed here but....

1990 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ6 Vanden Majestic 4dr Sedan
I have an XJ12 Vanden Plas 4 dr 12 cyl that is hard to find reviews for so I thought I'd post mine in it's little brother's area.
This Car is AMAZING. Not only is it of superb comfort and style but the darn thing is bulletproof.
It cruises along at 60 - 70 mph without effort and feels more like you're in first class seating on an aircraft.
Everything is situated perfectly for comfort … and access.

I'm Too Sexy ...

1990 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ6 4dr Sedan
2nd owner; bought w/60k miles; orig
owner had suspension converted; was in
immaculate condition! It now has 130k
miles but starting to blow oil smoke.
Also, I can't seem to keep (1) tires in
camber and (2) A/C charged with freon.
Have spent about $2k in repair work in
last 6 years.

Great luxomobile, still turns heads

1990 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ6 Sovereign 4dr Sedan
large enough, still quiet and powerfull,
reasonable economy BUT needs premium
fuel. The steering died and needed BOTH
pump and rack, replaced at 120 K miles for
about $900 with rebuilt parts. Everything
else still works, no other reliability problems.
It drives nice and turns heads, elegant car
and rarer thna your average neibour's Benz
or BMW.

Good, but not great

1990 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ6 Sovereign 4dr Sedan
Have had my XJ6 Sovereign for 6 years now. A great entry model into Jaguar driving, but get as late a model as possible, 1990 on up or later. Don't get 1989 or lower. If possible get a 1995 or later.
