I purchased this in 2009 with 37,000 miles. It now has 138,000 miles and runs and feels just like I remember it performing when I purchased it. I have had to invest a minimum amount of money in the maintenance and repair to keep it running great

New XJ8 Perfect

I cannot quite believe that I am getting a Jaguar. My last 3 cars were BMWs. I do not like the design of the new BMW. The quality of the new Mercedes was inferior. The new XJ8 design, quality, performance, and value are clearly superior to BMW and Mercedes. My new XJ8 is extraordinarily comfortable. The performance is terrific. This is not your father's Jaguar. The new aluminum body is a leap ahead of the competion.

Another Jaguar

I replaced my 2001 S-Type 4.0 with the XJ8. When I drove it I couldn't believe the differences from the past XJ's or even the S-Type. It is fast, smooth and handles incredibly well. In fact, believe it or not, you might even say it is too powerful. If it's even a remote thought of a car choice, go drive it and see what you think. The only negatives rest with the brakes being too sensitive and a couple of rattles. It certainly doesn't have the style differentiation of the S-Type, but it's a car I will be pleased to drive for three years.

The Ultimate Sport Sedan

Having driven and owned just about every make, the New XJ is simply the finest sedan on the road. It is fast, comfortable and luxurious transportation for four. The highway mileage is an unbelievable 30mpg cruising at 80mph. It is a big improvement over my previous S-Type, which I loved. Must be driven to be appreciated!
