Have had 7 and still have my first 1973 XKE.The last a 2002 XJR, the new 2004 is a much better car as far as ride, speed, tightness, better quality,less outside noise and they have added some high tech to compete with the Mercedes and BMW. Xenon self leveling lights, radar cruise control, folding mirrors,auto pull down trunk great sound system, Brembo brakes and Nav. system.Nice badging to tell it's a XJR and more.
Excellent value

The 2004 Jaguar XJ's is a must have for anyone looking for true class in a high end luxury automobile. This vehicle is built to last for many years to come. The 1st thing is that it does not rust, with an aluminum body and top paint sealers with fine grain quality paint the vehicle will be preserved looking new externally with little detailing efforts. The top quality interior leather and wood trims is double stitched with long lasting threads which again preserves its original luster from day one off the showroom floor of the dealership. The bottom line, the car was built to last and it will become an icon representing the last few years of the the original iconic Jaguar design. The 8 cylinder V8 4.2L engine gives you all the power you would ever need on the highway, over 400 horsepower if you have the XJR models with their supercharger built in. It can compete with today's Mercedes, BMW's, Cadillac, Lexus, etc. in every areas even in acceleration with its impressive 0-60 mph in a mere 5 seconds. Any owner of this vehicle not want any of the others mentioned because the do not possess the legacy of the Jaguar class. You become the envy on the road owning a classic Jaguar.

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.

The car is pretty to look at, has a fantastic engine, and rides like a dream. These were the things I was looking for in a car. I was hoping that Ford's $3 billion investment several years before this car would resolve reliability issues. Nope. This car had a number of advancements that didn't quite work and are expensive to fix: 1) electric parking break, 2) air suspension, 3) aluminum unibody (rust), 4) transmission leaks. I've dropped $11K on my $18K car thus far. It has 50K miles. Also, the handling isn't quite on par with the German cars; it does't love curves and corners. In short, be careful with your expectations on this one.

The performance of this car is incredible. It feels like a Porsche on steroids! It rides very smoothly and handles like a dream, withouth being harsh or jumpy. I dont like the ignition key, I keep blowing the horn when putting it away. The interior is finally the right size and I like the fact that they did not go overboard with the electronic gadgets.
