2003 Jaguar XJ-Series XJR 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl S/C 5A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

WE SHOPPED MERCEDES, BMW, LEXUS AND JAGUAR. BOUGHT A SILVER XJR AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY. THE INTERIOR IS BEAUTIFUL, WE ESPECIALLY LIKE THE WOOD, THE ENGINE IS VERY QUIET, AND THE RIDE IS SMOOTHER THAN THE OTHER THREE CARS WE COMPARED. HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR BACK TO DEALER FOR ANY PROBLEMS YET. WE REALLY LOVE THIS CAR AND ARE VERY HAPPY WE PURCHASED IT.

2002 Jaguar XJ-Series Vanden Plas 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 5A)

This is my second Jag and if it is anything like the first I'll be estactic. I had a XJ8 before, now I went for the Vanden Plas...wow, what a difference in ride and confort. The last one was excellent, this one is subperb. It's a darn shame they're going to change the vehicle next year, as this is one classic style vehicle that doesn't get old.

Jaguar Excellence

2003 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ8 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 5A)
7 of 9 people found this review helpful

This is the 7th jaguar I have owned, all have been great cars. This one the XJ8 seems to be the best to date, all round flexibility in comfort in town and highway. I do not think anyone could overdrive this car, it sticks like glue and goes where you point it. it never fails to get comments on its looks, It truly is in a class of its own.

Best car I've ever owned

2003 Jaguar XJ-Series Super V8 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl S/C 5A)
7 of 9 people found this review helpful

Amazing vehicle. I have owned A Mercedes S600, a Lexus LS400, a BMW 750il,and a Bently Arnage. None of these cars even comes close to the Jag. I love the engine, it is smoother and more powerful than the V-12s of Mercedes and BMW. I rip apart every mustang and corvette that stops by me at a light. The transmission is amazing. It always shifts very smooth and right on time. I love the beautiful interior, it is much more luxurious than those of its competitors and even my Bently. It's also better looking than them too. You simply can't get any better than a Jaguar Super V8.

Jaguar Fever

I bought my XJ Sport Jaguar new from a dealer in LA in the year 2003. I love this car. Yes, a bit expensive-yet extroardinarily satisfying. No other car in the market today beats the exterior styleing. Mine lacks the 370/now390 hp supercharged engine, however the stock 290/300hp 4.0L V8 is, to me, quick enough. My son drives my car on a pretty frequent basis and I worry about him out on the road w/ 390supercharged hp to his disposal (although i suspect that his new WRX may be a bit quicker). GREAT CAR! go buy one of the new ones!
