Classic Style

2006 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ8 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

I've been driving my new XJ8 for the past 3 months now and have been enjoying it ever since. I love the feeling of driving a car of this class, with its luxurious leather and wood and excellent Alpine sound system(worth the upgrade with the navi). The car feels big and important but at the same time feels very quick and sporty. The acceleration is super quick when merging on interstates and the car feels light when cruising. When driving, everything feels higher than your seated position giving a low, sporty feel, which is unique in a luxury car. I've bought my dream and I love every bit of it.

This automobile is luxurious in looks and the way it drives. I am pleased with its interior, as well. It is responsive on the road, and very easy to drive, and all comments received are very favorable. I am proud to drive this vehicle, and enjoy owning it immensely. I would recommend this car to anyone who wants to own a large, comfortable, prestigious automobile.

Nobody Does It Better... Simply The Best

2006 Jaguar XJ-Series Vanden Plas 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

I have owned four Jaguar sedans and the 2006 Vanden Plas is the epitome of ride, handling and overall excellence. I don't care for the current body style since Ta Ta took over Jag. This model is the last of the classic Jaguar smooth lines and four headlight models. This car is a pleasure to drive and there is nothing else that compares. The interior cabin is like a fine gentlemen's club with soft leather and beautiful wood trim. The car makes you smile every time you drive it. If you do proper maintenance and take care of this car it will run 350K miles with no trouble. So well crafted and such a dream to drive... no other car like it. If you can find one go get it... you'll love it.

Awesome, look no further

2006 Jaguar XJ-Series Super V8 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl S/C 6A)

I have driven Jags all my life and every time I buy a new one it only gets better, I now own a Super V8 and wow the power, the luxury - absolutely awesome. I would love to see in the next generation XJ a backup camera, to me this is all that is missing. The car is fun to drive, plenty of power and just so British, fit for a king. If you are thinking of owning one, go test drive one, before you waste your money on other luxury models, you won't be sorry. Happy motoring and enjoy.

Second VDP

This is my second Vanden Plas! I bought the 2004 in 2003 when they first came out with the aluminum body style. I knew it would be hard to replace. I test drove some Mercedes S class vehicles which had a lot of nice technology and fun features, but parked next to my 2004 Jaguar, the 2007 S550 exterior styling just didn't have any of the sexy lines like the Jaguar. Just picked up my Midnight 2006 VDP with all the options. Compared to my old silver one - people (especially guys) really stare. The black with tinted windows and chrome wheels is very sharp!
