This is our second Jaguar - the first was a 1992 Sovereign, which was a very nice car. Our 1996 VDP is a world above the old Sovereign. Our VDP is the most luxurious car, has the nicest materials and has the best looks. This car makes me smile, everytime I drive it. We've owned Mercedes, BMW, Lexus and Infiniti and we've enjoyed those cars (and still enjoy our 540i), but there is something very special about the big cat! Add to this the improved reliability, you have a car that is hard to beat.

Lady Blue (name of my car) is one heck of a car! I love this girl and she treats me well. She's a smooth ride that loves to show off her sleek design and comfortable ride. Everywhere I go, people stop to look at her and compliment her beautiful and luxurious styling. Other than routine maintenance, my Jaguar hasn't been in the shop for anything since I got her. If you're THINKING about getting one -- do. It will be one of the best decisions you've ever made.

This car is so beautiful. She's great to look at. Interior is so comfortable. Rear seat is the most comfortable I've ever been in. Lots of nice improvements over our 1992 Sovereign. Long wheelbase is a bit of a hassle to park or u-turn. This car feels long - it feels like you're hauling a small trailer behind it. Body lines are beautiful. You feel like a million bucks in the car. Power is good. Handling is good for such a big, heavy car. Front suspension feels outdated - slow on speed bumps and doesn't feel refined like BMW or Mercedes. We've had good luck with Jaguar, even though people tell us they're nightmares - mechanically. Only time will tell.

My Mechanic said, "Youve Got A Super Nice Car BUT If You Keep That Car For Any Length Of Time You And I Are Going To Be Best Friends"! Trans has problems electronically shifts hard. Door locks will not lock, Check engine always on from some problem or another. Front breaks lock up defect in design after usage for a while. To many other very expensive problems to list. THINK HARD BEFORE BUYING!!!!!!!

The car is a classic beauty. Ride, style and comfort in transit. This is however a ladies' car. It is a little cramped for a 6 footer with a few extra pounds. My wife loves her jag and wont part with it... til I can get her a newer one. It is parked next to my Cad DTS and never takes a back seat. Thanks Jag!
