Best Car in Sight.

When driving my newly purchased used Jaguar XJ8 I feel like I am driving the best car in sight, no matter where I am. It has a combination of speed, comfort, agility, style, reliability, and economy that makes it the best car on the road in America. The interior has features similar to the Bentley and Rolls Royce, also designed by Van den Plas, the man who worked on the interior of this Big Cat Jaguar. The full power of the car is felt in the passing lane acceleration, when it pushes you back into the seat. The eye catching looks when you pull up in front of the finest hotel in town, or the great admiration of all the people who simply root for Jaguar owners is not to be missed.
Amazing!

This car has amazing fuel economy for a 300HP V8, is deceptively light on its feet, and is light years ahead of its predecessor - all while retaining a characteristically Jaguar design. The downsides - the seat cushions are uncomfortable for my slender 6'2 frame, the automatic climate control seems to take too long to kick into gear, and the paint quality is sub par (worth noting is that mine is a black car that spent its first four years in Columbus). I bought a warranty with mine but question whether I really need it.
Let Jaguar Work the Kinks Out

A beauty, quick, fun to drive. Easily fits my 6'3" frame. But, at 100 miles an emergency brake warning came on. Took 3 weeks waiting for parts and an overnight in the shop before problem was solved with a new brake from England. I had to keep calling for latest updates; Jag customer Relations was no help. Also, 1-touch up for all windows are erratic, and don't work at all after visit to shop. Service manager observed this problem on several new XJs, but does not yet know the solution.
Love it.

This is my second Jaguar, having owned a 2000 Vanden Plas, before this one. If they hadn't changed the body style I would still be driving that one. But I'm glad they did, the acceleration on this one is great and the gas mileage is over 28 on the highway. Love the new nav system, much better than the old one.

Some times fantasy is fulfilled. The new XJ-8 is comfortable, quick and well styled. The constant complements and smiles keep coming. Great pick-up and cornering and much better traction in a Chicago winter than I ever imagined. I feel great when I drive this car.
