  Only a Jag can be this good - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By Jerry - June 14 - 12:43 am

  The fit and finish are unlike any other manufacture, if you want luxury with performance the XJR is the way to go. Fun to drive and comfortable.

  1 Week Into Jaguar Ownership - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By mherbst - June 1 - 5:49 pm

  12k a 40k mile car was a steal. I purchased this car knowing something would break. You have to have that mindset for all Jaguars and plan accordingly. This car was below my budget for a used car, and I put my savings from the purchase into an account for future repairs. Im now very glad I did. 1 week in and the sunroof is broken, air suspension has visible leaks, who knows what else. Just the parts for the sunroof are $800, rear air suspension is $1500 for one shock. If you dont mind working on a car yourself (which I dont) this is a decent buy, also for air suspension issues arnott makes better than factory suspension. 4 shocks for the price of a jag one.

  Love hate relationship - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By whart12 - May 12 - 12:40 am

  Bought XJ8 VDP used with 60000 reading on the odometer. Love the comfort speed and styling of this big cat but been disappointed with its quality. If you are the type that can fix little things on your own then this wouldn’t be a bad buy. The XJ has not left me stranded but have had little things go wrong. List of problem that I was able to fix myself: 1. All lock mechanism stopped working- found used parts on Ebay for 200 for all 4 doors. New price for each door is 300+. 2. Interior blower motor stop working- found control module on Ebay for 120. New part 300+ 3. Trunk latch stopped working- found trunk latch on Ebay for 50. New part 400+ 4. Radio amp stopped working- found used part on Ebay for 100. New part 1500+ Again, if you don’t have a personal mechanic or you are not able to turn a wrench do yourself a favor stay away…..

  AS AN OWNER - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By HOWARD REICHERT - February 2 - 10:00 am

  SO FAR ITS THE MOST ENJOYABLE AUTOMOBILE TO OWN AND DRIVE OF ALL THE FOUR DOORS I HAVE EVER OWNED. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE OWNED MANY OF THE BEST. THIS INCLUDES ANOTHER JAGUAR.

  not the purest of cats - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By blackxjr - December 15 - 10:00 am

  Have had 7 and still have my first 1973 XKE.The last a 2002 XJR, the new 2004 is a much better car as far as ride, speed, tightness, better quality,less outside noise and they have added some high tech to compete with the Mercedes and BMW. Xenon self leveling lights, radar cruise control, folding mirrors,auto pull down trunk great sound system, Brembo brakes and Nav. system.Nice badging to tell its a XJR and more.

  A Joy To Drive - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By DesertRat - November 22 - 10:00 am

  Drove Lexus 430s and other cars and have not taken a look at the Jag for a long time. Finally got around to driving one and fell in love with the car, its performance, and the style of the design. There is a quiet power about the Jag that is simply wonderful to drive and be a part of....and the looks you get when driving it are telling. This is a class car in every respect.

  A real improvement - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By RA Spell - November 3 - 10:00 am

  After owning a 99 XJ8 and an 01 XKR, I wanted a different brand of car for my wife. After test driving all models with a bias to NOT buy a Jaguar, I still bought the Jag. THIS CAR IS A VAST IMPROVMENT OVER PAST MODELS and I believe it to be currently the best car on the road. My one complaint is outside appearance. I liked the lower profile Jag. This is taller and more rounded but compensated with better cabin room. Performance is its strength as it is incredibly more responsive. Test this car and you wont be disappointed.

  Fast and Faster - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By George Peri - October 28 - 2:00 am

  The XJ has alot of power sometimes to much to handle. The car is built to last the long haul. The interior is more like a Buick then the last generation Jaguars. All in all its a great car to drive.
