I love my JAGUAR

This is a beautiful vehicle, fun to drive, classy and just awesome. It is a car that needs to be kept in top shape as for getting service on it every 5000 miles. Getting the oil changed every 3000 miles, etc. If you take good care of it, it will take good care of you. Remember it's not the "old" pre 90's Jag. These our a "Ford" product and WELL made.

Back from Benz

2004 Jaguar XJ-Series Vanden Plas 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful

Had some Jags, went to Benzs but they feel sterile and cold. Now back to Jags and I have been very pleased. Six years old and still a head turner getting lots of unsolicited compliments. No car draws like a Jag. 32 MPG on a 400 mile highway trip (70+MPH). I use the recommended premium on trips but regular around town. These are a bargain on the used market. Paid $18,000 for a beautiful car with only 43,000 miles. For that price I could have been stuck in a new econobox.

Gorgeous Perfection

Have owned our Radiance Red/Ivory Leather Vandan Plas for 5.5 years now. It is still perfect in every way. It has never made a visit to the dealer for anything except routine maintenance. It gets 28-30 mpg on the highway.(Averaged 28.6 mpg on trip from New England to Florida a few years back and that average included local driving! Only weighs 3800 lbs due to Aluminum structure and ours was the 1st year of release and is short wheel based just as we like it. This has been our 2nd XJ (the only real Jag saloon) and both have been flawless. No one does luxury like the Brits!

2004 Jaguar 2004 Vanden Plas

Best built car that I have driven in over 60 years. It is comfortable, has excellent performance, and is quiet. It lacks rear seating sufficient leg room, and lacks the elegant interior and exterior appearance of previous Vanden Plas models. Rear seating tray tables were omitted from this year's Vanden Plas. My wife and I each have one. The rear seats are occupied rarely, and so we are very happy with ours.

2004-2007 XJR Best classy looking Jag they ever made in my opinion. Extremely fast.... Love it. Parts and maintenance can be expensive but its well worth it. This model is becoming very rare and hard to find.
