Used 1995 Jaguar XJ-Series Consumer Reviews
Hands Down Best Used Jaguar
Purchased new off the Dealer Lot in 1995. Since then she has travled 114,095 miles. There are ZERO problems with the car...starts first time, every time. The Auto shifts like a bullet, and the A/C still blows VERY chilled air.
1995 Jag XJ6 Naturally Aspirated
Some think the reliability for these older series Jags is not great. Most things are this way if they are mistreated or neglected. From my own experience in the past year, mine is a powerhouse! The engine is such a strong well vibrating one. It is an inline format engine so, that actually is better for vibrations and other mechanical noise compared to a V format. Mine still needs TLC. Not everything is excellent yet ( as far as repairs go). The rear shocks are bad yet still is a buttery smooth ride. I find most components not difficult to change yourself. Mainly the routine maintenance and sensors. The 4-speed Auto with Overdrive Transmission is a good one. I would like to upgrade to a 6 speed Auto or maybe a modern 8 speed Auto if able to without changing too much computer reprogramming or wire harness. Fuel Economy It is equal to or slightly better than my 2006 Chevrolet Impala. Travelling 80 Mile while flooring up to near 120 MPH at times only 1/8th tank consumed from Full. (Premium Unleaded Fuel Only) Stopping Power is great for being the OEM setup. I did a road test (0-60) 10.01 seconds best so far. It stopped okay for beeing original brake system. The Engine is rated at 245 HP which is less due to restriction I think from something I read. Brake HP is at according to Torque Pro, Max (not average) 375 BHP at 4000 something RPM. I will do a Dyno Test to confirm this calculation. The build quality of the exterior is excellent for being almost 25 years old. The interior is good quality also. The seating I am comfortable driving. Yet, I would fall asleep in the rear as a passenger. Te headroom in rear bad. I stand 5'6" I reach the headliner. Sitting in rear right side it is still comfortable. You must take into consideration A Jag is a low sports-style vehicle. They are not known to make a rugged off-terrain truck. Jeep me, please! Overall for this specific motion of art, it is a joy to own and drive. Driving in rain weather, mine will handle okay currently yet, I will change braking and suspension in the future.

A Great Cat
A great car, looks good drives very well and draws comments where ever I go. It has performed flawlessly and runs well at all speeds.
95 XJS Still fun
Sleek look and fun to drive. Handles best when use high perf tires with flat profile (more rubber and firmer cornering). Constant compliments daily! One of the top 2 cars I have owned. I do believe I will keep it for the remainder!
