Pleasure To Behold

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!

Other than normal maintenance, this Jaguar has been a joy to own, fun to drive and the best luxury automobile I have yet to enjoy. You will too.

Gorgeous Luxury Car

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 Front suspension feels outdated - slow on speed bumps and doesn't feel refined like BMW or Mercedes.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.

Between the ride and style it's a hard choice. Performance also enters in to that same equation. All 100%.

This is the 5th Jaguar I have had. They get better all the time. Ford seems to have not screwed this car up :yet.
