After you buy one you will not want to drive anything but a Jaguar. I have owned many fine cars but the Jag is so comfortable, quiet, plush, and powerful, it makes my Lincolns, and Mercedes pale by comparison, and the Jag costs less than the my Benz. Since purchase in 2013, nothing has broken. For required service the dealer picks up my car and leaves me a new Jag to use and delivers my car back to me. On trips the Jag delivers 30 mpg ! Where ever I go people look at it and comment how good it looks. Back seat passengers are in awe of the space. I am about to buy another one. I dislike only one thing, the engine shuts off at stop lights etc and restarts when you take your foot off the brake, very stupid idea, thank goodness there is an "eco" button to disable it. I LIKED THIS CAR SO MUCH I TRADED IT FOR A NEW ONE. THE NEW ONE HAS A FEW MORE FEATURES AND IS OF THE SAME SUPERB QUALITY, TROUBLE FREE FOR THE LAST 4 THOUSAND MILES. BUT I STILL HATE THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF, RE START IDIOTIC IDEA, THANK GOODNESS IT CAN BE SHUT OFF WITH THE "ECO" BUTTON. AWESOME CAR! As of 5/30/19, the 2016 car has 20,000 miles on it, not one problem, what a great car to drive, I still hate the auto shut off when I stop, if I forget to hit the"eco" button off. This car is head and shoulders nicer than my 550 Benz was, and so much more reliable.

I've owned performance oriented cars of all stripes. This is my first tilt into the luxury side of the equation. I've had two previous Jaguars and loved them, being fast, comfortable and beautiful. I like the fact that these cars stand apart from the German crowd. They offer color choices and interior choices unlike the German boredom. BTW I've owned several German cars too.

This is the most underrated Luxury car out there. The experts seem to be biased due to ancient history. When it comes to the essentials of a SPORTY LUXURY CAR, the XJ JAGUAR! Powerful, quick, comfortable ECONOMICAL. I GET 35 Miles per gallon on highway and about 25 to 30 around town. If you want to accelerate quickly you’ve got it. People comment all the time about this beautiful it is. I’ve owned LS Lexus, Mercedes S class, bmw. In certain features each is superior. But overall this has best of the best for exterior, interior beauty with economical powerful performance.

My "Italian Racing Red" auto has been flawless the past 3 yrs with only normal maintenance required. I purchased in Feb 2015 with 15,000 miles on odometer. I have taken meticulous care of this car. If I see or hear any issue, I schedule an appt with my Jaguar dealer. My first year of ownership saw issues with the steering, water pump, electrical and a few other items. All covered under warranty. After all the bugs were shaken out during my first year, I have total confidence that the car is in excellent shape and I am very happy with my purchase. I drove from LI, NY out to Arizona (spent a few months there) and drove back without any issue. Real world MPG going to AZ was 30.5mpg. I now have 48,200 miles on the car and it is out of the "Jaguar Certified" period. In my opinion, you always want a Jaguar dealer to work on the XJ. It was explained that a special set of tools is required for the XJ and that other Jaguar model tools will not work with the XJ. Oil changes, tires and parts are expensive, however the service interval is every 10,000 miles. You are riding in a car that is head turning, comfortable and a pleasure to drive. Update Dec 2019: I have 53,400 miles at this point and out of CPO warranty. The only none-maintenance type item; had my check engine light; needed a oxygen sensor installed by Jag dealer ($700). Still very happy. Update June 2020: Only replaced rear tires (first time) and the auto is running great without any issue(s)! Update December 2021 current mileage 58,000 I was reimbursed 100% by Jaguar for the oxygen sensor replaced earlier and was given a 15 year/150,000mile extended warranty (Jaguar initiative) on all my oxygen sensors. I had a Manifold coolant leak repaired by Jaguar ($1900) & also replaced the front tires (first time) and I had battery replaced by Jaguar (first time; old battery was ok I just wanted it changed because it was over 8 years old), All else is solidly good! Still very happy.

UPDATE: This is still my favorite of all the cars I've owned. It is rock solid and quiet at cruise speeds, corners superbly, and is very reliable. Inept dealer service has been the only drawback - having to return to the dealer 4 times to reset the service indicator warning. Simply the best car I've owned. After many Mercedes, I grew tired of their mundane interiors, and lately their Rube Goldberg exterior styling. The interior is measureably more luxurious and inviting than any Mercedes we've owned. The doors close with a solid "thunk"' reflecting the quality. Instrumentation is straightforward, and the audio quality is far beyond anything we've heard from Mercedes. Despite the negative reviews of the audio/navigation system, we've found this system much more user friendly, and programs easier than Mercedes clunky system.
