What a refreshing example of a brand! The old XJ was tired (but reliable) and needed an update. Just left the car wash and felt sorry for the Panamera next to me! An extra $30,000 for a four seater that doesn't know if it is a sedan or not. Haven't seen a breakout car since the 2005 Chrysler 300 till this. Should be the luxury Car of the Year. Front row car at five star restaurants. Move over Audi, BMW & Mercedes.

The car is amazing. Interior is well crafted. Drove on the highway for 8 hours this week-end. No fatigue, body aches, etc. Excellent ride. Gas mileage on the highway is outstanding. One word to describe the engine, POWERFUL.

Been a BMW fan for 42-years. 2011 Jaguar XJL Portfolio was a great car.... when new. Fun to drive. Beautiful interior and amenities. Fast. Handled well. Styling is a head turner and fantastic on the highway - especially at 80+mph. Then, ye olde Jaguar myths of olde started to manifest - even after the complete TaTa retool. First to go was the automated moonroof cover. Came off the tracks - $800 to repair. Next the radio, nav, and AC control unit went out - $2400. Alternator failure stranded us in the middle of Texas - $900. Oil pan started to leak - $800. And finally, when the front main seal started leaking(all before 40k miles - it was time to go back to a BMW. I did buy a 1991 XJS v-12 convertible as well and - while not without its idiosyncrasies - has provided a lot of enjoyment and you can still work on them yourself. Overall, if you have a lot of money and a daily driver - a Jag can be a wonderful second car to own.

We had been looking to replace my wife's 2005 Infiniti Q-45 which was coming off lease. We looked at the MB S-550 and the BMW 7 series. Because of the pricing of both, I really thought we would wind up with a used 550 or 7 series. That was until I saw the Jag XJL. For basically the same price as a 1-2 yr. old MB or 7 series, we wound up with a fabulous car that looks great, performs unbelievably and is way ahead in all aspects when compared to the competitors.

I must say Jaguar was not on my list of cars to consider. On the insistence of a friend, I begrudgingly agreed to take a quick look. My God is this the purist, most advanced car on the market today! I bought one the next day as I just wanted to review my thoughts. This car is the grandest and liveliest full size sedan the world has yet seen. I drove the Panamera and was almost angry when done. The 750 LI was a heavy driving complicated mess of a design gone wrong (and this car was 1st on my 'list'). I tried so hard to like it. I did not. The Jaguar was breathtaking in both form and function. Everywhere I go, it turns heads. A saw a lady walk into a light pole the other day ogling the car.
