  • This car turns head for sure! - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    The new design caused me to trade in my LS460/Lexus and change my mind on the purchase of a S500/Mercedes after one test drive. I would have never considered the old Jaguar design. This car attracts so much attention and persuaded me as a younger generation buyer. Fun to drive and handles great.

  • Watch out for that Cat! - 2011 Jaguar XJ

    The new design is an eye catcher for sure. If youre a luxury car driver, the SuperCharged will definitely place you in a status of your own. I love the drive feel, when all you have to do is slightly place your foot on the accelerator and watch out, you may be getting pulled over b4 you know it. Its a shame how other luxury manufacturers either charge you as options for what is standard in the SuperCharged. Plus you have more interior options to choose from then say, MB S550.

  • Just got mine last Monday - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    I have owned 4 Mercedes Benzs and 2 Lexus. I owned two S500s ( an 01 and an 02), an 03 SL 500 and a 10 E350 that we recently purchased earlier this year. I still have my 02 S500 and I love that car. I purchased all my vehicles new. Prior to this new change, I wouldnt even look at a Jaguar. There was nothing exciting about the vehicle at all. ( The same way I feel about Lexus now. Its a safe boring car.) I had actually gone to the dealership to look at the Panamera when the salesman told me I should look at the new XJ. He walked me over there and I was done!!! This is the sexiest car ever built. Go ahead and spend more money if you wish, you will NOT get more car!!!

  • Service Nightmare - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    Ive had my XJL SC 16 weeks. 2 weeks after taking delivery, it was in the shop to have multiple rattles and pops repaired. 3 weeks later, I got it back, free of pops and rattles. Yesterday, I got in the car and the audio system was only putting out sound on the passenger side. Hoped it was a fluke, but no, same problem this AM. And these arent the only issues- Edmunds only gives me so much space I cannot deny that this car is compelling to drive. On the days that everything works, it is a true pleasure. The build quality and reliability are abysmal though.

  • Had to have it! - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    We had been looking to replace my wifes 2005 Infiniti Q-45 which was coming off lease. We looked at the MB S-550 and the BMW 7 series. Because of the pricing of both, I really thought we would wind up with a used 550 or 7 series. That was until I saw the Jag XJL. For basically the same price as a 1-2 yr. old MB or 7 series, we wound up with a fabulous car that looks great, performs unbelievably and is way ahead in all aspects when compared to the competitors.

  • Best car I ever owned.....so far. - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    Over the last ten years Ive owned an S430, an A8L, an S550 and an XF. The new 2011 XJ is superior to all. Interior, exterior, ride, comfort and price! Economy? Drove 130 miles to Atlantic City and got 29 miles to a gallon! This car is a monster.

  • Simply the best. - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    I have have had the privlidge of owning many luxury cars. BMWs, Benz, and Jaguars. This car is superior in every way to its predecessors and to its competition. It sets the bar very high for the next generation of luxury performance autos.

  • I love it - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    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.

  • Closest Yet - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    The 2011 XJ rightfully takes its place as the finest car in the class. Without question, the XJ oozes elegance and sophistication with a warmth and personality not found in its Teutonic rivals. This is the first true 21st century luxury car. Prrr.

  • Where did the grace and style go? - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    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 whats 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.
