I leased this car because I found that there is not a car on the road like this. I'm coming out of a xk. All you see on the road is BMW 7 MB 550 and they really don't stand out, this car is an animal, fast, quiet, handles great. Luxury and state of the art. Simple solution: go see it and drive one

I bought my car only three days ago. I had owned a BMW 750iL in the past which was a great car. This Jaguar is however is "special". The interior is very beautiful and tasteful, very comfortable, too. The exterior is plain gorgeous, I have got so many "thumbs up" which keep me smiling all the time while I am driving it. That is obviously not why I bought it, but it does not hurt to get a positive feed back. It is too early for me to report on reliability, but so far so good. I highly recommend it.

'11 XJ is a Winner

This is an all-around outstanding vehicle. Beautiful design inside and out. Rocket fast for its size. It's unique from all other cars on the road today. While the XJ is a very expensive vehicle, it is a relatively good value compared to other super premium sedans.

Where did the grace and style go?

First let me say the only reason I bought this Jag was because of a particular business situation. Where has all the grace, style and beauty of the XJ series gone? Having a Jag always lent you a certain panache. Now with the new design, well to be blunt, I might as well have gotten a Chrysler. Well the back end of the Chrysler 300, with the front end of the Volvo S80. The XJ was an icon, not anymore. It looks like every other car on the road. Even the "leaping jaguar" is gone. What are they thinking? Are they aware of what's known as destroying a brand. Having a Jaguar meant you had reached a certain status in life, I guess they decided to become a any car brand.

Lucky to be alive

I've had since Dec 2003('s done 50,000 miles and has been one careful driver - me- and sevice and checked by Jag dealer regularly. On Wed 13th November 2013 I was driving on a dual carriageway at 60mph when the car suddenly accelerated. I thought the cruise control was on and braked to cancel it, but the car just kept going faster. I tried switching to manual and forcing it into lowest gear with no effect, pumping brake and engaging the hand brake , but the car just kept going faster and I was rapidly approaching other vehicles. So I moved into the fast lane, which was clear, but then two cars pulled out in front of me to overtake a lorry. At 90mph I hit themand am lucky to be alive
