2011 Jaguar XJ XJL Supercharged 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl S/C 6A)

I had a BMW 650 and wanted to get a larger car as my kids did not fit in the back any longer. So the natural choice was the 750Li. As I was negotiating with my dealer, I noticed with my preferred options, the pricing put the car over $102K. I stopped and thought I should shop around for other comparable cars such as the S550 and the Panamera S. Luckily the Jag XJL Supercharge caught my attention on edmunds.com. After test driving the Jag, I thought to myself, OMG, what a beast! I instantly fell in love with the workmanship and the power. First thing I thought, Im going to be faster than the other 3 cars and save over $10K on the pricing. Goodbye BMW!
ELECTRONIC NIGHTMARE!

This car is a nightmare electronically. Always something electronically going wrong, forgets presets, dead batter whenever it wants, etc. NIGHTMARE! I guarantee all the 5 star reviews of this car were written in the first couple months of ownership.

We bought a used jaguar xjl supercharged in march. We were looking at a range rover, porsche panamera or maserati quattroporte. We decided to test a jaguar xj and this was it. Stiched leather, glossy burl wood and chrome accents cover the cabin. The car is fully loaded and comes with ventilated seats front and rear and massaging seats. The engine is a monster supercharged 5.0L V-8 that makes 470 hp. The instrument cluster is digital and looks like a laptop screen. It is very well lit and is made to resemble real gauges but you can bring up navigation and radio on the screen. The exterior also has no radio sharkfin which contributes to its sexy roofline. Buy it and you won't be disappointed.
Great when it was new. Then...

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.
Best car I ever owned.....so far.

Over the last ten years I've owned an S430, an A8L, an S550 and an XF. The new 2011 XJ is superior to all. Interior, exterior, ride, comfort and price! Economy? Drove 130 miles to Atlantic City and got 29 miles to a gallon! This car is a monster.
