I absolutely loved this car, was such a classic. However, I had to get rid of it after 2 transmission failures. It kept cracking drums within the transmission. There has yet to be a car designed that captured the stunning class and sophistication displayed by this Jag. Loved it, and as hard as it was to let her go, it proved impractical to keep fixing it over and over. Ford built it, so that should say something.

I have owned and driven, Cadillacs, Lincoln Continentals, Mercedes Benz and Porsche. Although these are all fine vehicles, the Jaguar XJ8 is the most complete as far as reliability, comfort, ease of driving and maintenance.

I considered several cars before buying this car, including the Mercedes S-500 and Audi A-8. When it came down to it, I had to ask why I was buying it. Had my plans including driving 100 mph on the German Autobahns, I would have chosen from the German cars. But I wanted style and something comfortable to ride around town and short distances within Texas. The Jaguar won hands-down!

Overall I love my Jag. You can not beat the look and style. Performance is great. I am big on squeaks and raddles: (check these things out before you buy - Paying $70K for a car should mean perfection) The dash trim did raddle at first - foam fixed. The trim going up along the front windows is not well mounted and raddles (looks easy to fix). At a low speed I hear a very faint high pitch squeal from somewhere in the dash that comes and goes. I have no idea what this is but it can be annoying. Drive very slow (5mph) for .5 to 1 mile to make sure you do not have the same issue.
buyer beware!

My vehicle was bought from a 3rd party while under factory warranty. The local dealer sold me an extended warranty before the new car warranty expired. The "nickasil' engine has been discontinued! Mine is a disaster! The car with 48k miles on it, has been blowing out white smoke for periodically since the miles were in the 20's. The engine is worn out and needs to be replaced. Extended warranties won't cover "wear". Jaguar won't help! All services were done at the dealer! Jag buyers and owners BEWARE!!! This is very costly and discouraging especially with such low mileage!
