The big cat of modern motoring

I have a propensity of hating big cars. Therefore, with some reservation, I leased a XJ super charge last week after the lease expiration of XF Supercharge. (This is my forth Jaguar vehicle). The car is a wonder, it dissipates my dislike for big cars as it actually feels agile and precise in handling (you dont feel the car is big when driving). The power is beyond any description and more than adequate at all levels. My car is in ultimate black with London tan as interior. Just a week, the car has totally won my admiration as well as a lot of compliments from pedestrians at stoplights and strangers at car washing place. This is cat befitting the image of Jaguar, elegance, power and luxury.

Doing my own research in search of large LWB saloon with excellent power and space. One that would not break the bank. I looked at BMW, Mercedes and few others. But something told me to do my research on Jaguar. I come to find the XJ-L model. Specifically the supercharged 470 HP XJL. I purchased my vehicle in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hills Jaguar Dealer. It was alone, just waiting for someone to give her a second look. Once I drove her I knew she had to be mine. 470 HP is no joke. I came from driving a 400 HP V8 Lexus ISF; and this Jaguar was just as Fast; maybe faster. Its been two years and I am still in love with this vehicle. I visit hotels and valet will always park my car out front. Same for restaurants. I won't say how much I paid, but let's say I got a great deal. Sure Jags have their hiccups, but buying certified used was a total steal. Worth every penny.

The 83 XJ6 was stately and stable, the 98 XJ8 had elegance with performance. This 2011 XJ, with the interior upgrade package, has all of the above attributes on steroids. Steering is very quick and precise. Acceleration and braking are awesome. Jaguar now has a car with all the bells and whistles expected at this price point, along with the beautiful styling and brilliant performance expected of Jaguars. This is a world class car.

I've had my XJL SC 16 weeks. 2 weeks after taking delivery, it was in the shop to have multiple rattles and pops repaired. 3 weeks later, I got it back, free of pops and rattles. Yesterday, I got in the car and the audio system was only putting out sound on the passenger side. Hoped it was a fluke, but no, same problem this AM. And these aren't the only issues- Edmunds only gives me so much space I cannot deny that this car is compelling to drive. On the days that everything works, it is a true pleasure. The build quality and reliability are abysmal though.
