The car was purchased used as a 3 year old Select Edition with 28,000 miles in 2001. In the past 3 years the only repairs were a wheel bearing replacement and adjustment of the sn roof. A very dependable car.

Ergonomicsis- very poor. Dealer backing when paint defect materialized was terrible. Had to sue Jaguar to get satisfaction.Nice car but doesn't drive the way a Juguar is expected to drive. Would not consider buying another and definitely not another Ray Catena car.

Threw a rod at 52k miles

My dream car-a Jaguar.In 3/01, I bought a USED one, which had 40k. miles on it. At 52,000 miles (2000 over the warranty and my 50k mile maintenance), it threw a rod- damage ~$6,300! Jag engineer said it was something internal (the engine was defective - and said "too bad" - you have too many miles over the over the warr.mileage (4%) and the time- warr. ended a month). She said"If anything, it would be a good will gesture, but they wouldn't offer me ANY help. My lifelong dream crumbled, and JAGUAR is a sorry company. I am buying a BMW. I'll let everyone know how Jaguar treated me, someone who had planned to buy Jaguar after Jaguar...
