It may be regarded as old fashioned, but it's aluminium body and suspension gives this car a kerb weight to shame most mid size vehicles. It is supremely comfortable and surprisingly lithe thanks to it's low mass. This was an expensive cat to construct and good value cost price of £ 34000 in 2005, far better value and asthetics than the current BMW5, which was the alternative choice, for my then outgoing BMW5 ( E39 ) I,m glad I bought British, and helped keep some jobs in Britain, since we have some of the finest engineers in the world. Jaguars current models appear to vindicate my views

A superb vehicle. I suppose all car's in this bracket will 'do the job'. the thing is with the XJ, people usually talk about it in affectionate terms and there is never any snears of envy.
It is a genuine pleasaure to drive and be driven in. I occasionally have a chauffeur and the car is wonderful to travel in.
I usually get at least 38 on mixed running and on a long motorway journey, 41 -44 is not uncommon, even at somewhat high speeds.
I can definitely recommend the vehicle.

Best car I have ever owned, this vehicle replaced a series of bmw's and mercedes models that spent most of their time being repaired at the main dealer under warrenty. I have covered 150,000 miles in the Jaguar and it has never once let me down. It is comfortable, returns 30mpg on the 3.5 litre V8 petrol engine and is whisper quiet. I love the car and will probably cry like a baby when it has to go.

This car is excellent in almost every way with superb handling, performance, comfort, and quietness. the dealerships and the factory customer care are excellent, but very expensive.It has an annoying auto door locking feature which can be changed but at £63 for about 2 minutes re-programming work.
It is cheaper to run than my 2000cc Mazda.

Have had Jaguars for the past 15 years and the two main gripes are the lack of legroom in the rear and the size of the boot. Hope the new one is better! Those apart I find the car comfortable,economical and a pleasure to drive.

Still unbeatable value and the best ambience in the luxury car bracket, or any other. British designed, built and maintained it knocks spots of the costlier competition.

I always wanted a Jag but feared the reputation. So bought this to test the waters and love it. Now saving for much newer XJR
