Beautiful Car

2007 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ8 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

It may not appeal to the more contemporary types, but the Jaguar XJ8 is the most satisfying luxury sedan money can buy. It has style, it has ultra-luxury and comfort, it has unshakable ride quality, a silky-smooth 300hp V8 mated to a fantastic six-speed automatic, and all the features anyone would ever want or need. All in all, if you don't want your average BMW or Mercedes, this is the car to get.

This is our 3rd Jag, and this one is definitely the best, in performance and style.The all aluminum frame, the radar feature, and the double windscreen blades are a big improvement.

Aging Well, Surprisingly Peppy

This is my third Jaguar XJ, so I had some idea of what to expect. My first two were '96 and '95 XJ6 models, and as most Jag enthusiasts would agree, these older machines were uncomplicated and bulletproof. I drove the '96 for 14 years, and sold it still running like a champ at 220k miles. The 2007 XJ8 I have now owned about a year is not as stylish to me, but it doesn't fail to draw major compliments everywhere I go. Contrary to some of the statements in the review, I do not find any of the controls to be complicated or incomprehensible. The J-shifter is somewhat odd, but it has been standard on these cars for over twenty years, so I have no idea why anyone would complain about it. Unless you plan to manually shift this very competent automatic transmission, the shifter works like any other console-mounted transmission. This XJ8 had 155k miles on it when I bought it, and has 168k now. It needed two front air shocks in the first year, but considering that it only cost me $4 400 to drive home from LA to Vegas, that was a reasonable repair. I'm gonna finish with the fun part. Due to its primarily aluminum construction the car feels light and nimble. In standard trim the 300 horsepower V8 moves this big car, which weighs only 3,800 lbs., off the line like a rocket, with a exhaust note more like a Dodge Charger. It's a beast! And here's the best part...it gets crazy good gas mileage. I've gotten 22-26 mpg on the highway! This one is silver with the custom chrome 5 spoke wheels that look like a starfish with black interior. I had the windows are tinted dark all the way around. I'm gonna drive it until it drops. Love this car!!!

Best XJ Ever !

The all new XJ with aluminum is without question the best improvement Jaguar ever made to this legendary car. Jaguar stands alone in looks for cars in this price range. This JAG turns heads.
