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!

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.

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.
Best and last of the true Brits

1996 and 1997 are the two last years of the fully British Jaguar XJ6 and XJ12 sedan, before they redesigned the bumpers, interior and engine for the new XJ8 in 1998... These are arguably two of the best model years Jaguar ever had. The 6-cylinder is not the fastest or most refined, but it is very reliable... the V12 is 6 liters of beautiful and silky power - with modern performance but thirsty gas mileage... both are the refined X300 platform with better transmissions and interior components, retaining the traditional and charming Jaguar interior... one of the nicest ever. They both drive beautifully, quiet even by today's standards, great AC and stereo... and easy to maintain. The cars are not flagsgip-big - their only drawback is that they are a little snug... the size of a 5-Series or E-Class, but a lower roofline, so not much headroom... Great cars - especially the long-wheelbase models.
