  2005 XJ8L Review - 2005 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By Jaguar lover - January 24 - 5:30 am

  This is my third Jaguar and by far the best. The quality of this car is outstanding. Owning a Jag always meant you had to have a back up auto to drive when your Jag was in the shop. But, not anymore. Class, comfort, reliability and prestige you cant get from a German or Japanese mark. Four good sized adults can fit easily in this car and everyone is happy. The aluminum body, V8 and six speed transmission are light years ahead of the previous design. I love this car. If youre looking for the whole luxury package in a full sized car, check it out.

  In Love With A Car? - 2005 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By Ward - November 8 - 4:36 am

  How do you say youre in love with your car, without being considered a bit unusual. When I was a kid in my teens I loved cars, and Ive had 9 new Cads and a whole series of other autos. But, as an adult -- I LOVE THIS CAR! From the performance to the feel of the car on the road, to the admiring glances from everyone it is the best.And the carpark valets park it in front of the restaurant!

  Great Car - 2005 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By JagLovR - October 12 - 2:00 am

  Use this car as both a weekend car and my driver takes me to work in it during the week. Great features, lovely woodwork. SUPER FAST SuperV8! SATNav EASY TO USE! Comftorable Ride! After owning XKRs I know Jags to be well built machines. I have no doubt my SuperV8 will be!

  ABSOLUTELY "THE BOSS" - 2005 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By WARREN STEINMAN - August 25 - 7:16 pm

  I just purchased the almost Identical (2004 XJ8) car for my fiance. Market is still soft so I stole it for $2,900. It runs and looks as good as my first one. (Hers is white.) Purchased 6 months ago with 160k now has 190k. It is smooth, comfortable, quick, agile, frugal (avg hwy 27mpg @75mph). I dropped in a new radio head unit with backup camera, nav, sirius, bluetooth etc. Now it has all the bells and whistles you can get from a newer version. Car looks like new, runs like new and the best part, including the new head unit, - $3950 on the used market. It is by far the best car I have ever owned. My Cadillac SLS was a not so close 2nd. (previous cars - 3 Mercedes, 3 Caddys , Chrysler 300, Prius + many many more.) right now it is an excellent buyers market for one of the truly superb vehicles you could own and enjoy.

  Ex-Mercedes CL600 driver - 2005 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By flighttest - May 19 - 4:16 pm

  I have had Mercedes CLs for the past 10 years. My last one, a 2002 CL600, was in the shop more than in my garage. I decided to try the JAG. Being a retired pilot I wanted performance over comfort so I opted for the Super V8. WOW!!! What a car. Great performance along with an amazing ride. No mechanicals up to this point. Highly recommend.

  New XJ is great - 2005 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By ken - April 25 - 11:36 am

  This is the best XJ yet. I have been a fan of Jaguars for many years. I have driven older ones from the 80s and 90s but they do not compare to the room, handling and power of the new XJ. They really have a great car especially with the new technology in the automatic suspension and the aluminum body and frame. The car is light and fast.
