  • Big Blue Beast - 2013 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    Always thought Id wind up with a Mercedes-Benz or Lexus. Looked at E-Class Mercedes and Lexus ES and GS. Found the Mercedes interior disappointing. Sitting in both Lexus models was like sitting inside a computer: soulless and cold. No personality or warmth at all. Sitting in my AWD XJ is like being in a leather chair in an English gentlemans club. Plenty of power, excellent handling. Design and build quality both superb. A bigger car than I actually wanted, but, when we sat in it, my wife and I just looked at each other and knew wed found our car.

  • Lucky to be alive - 2013 Jaguar XJ

    Ive had since Dec 2003(s done 50,000 miles and has been one careful driver - me- and sevice and checked by Jag dealer regularly. On Wed 13th November 2013 I was driving on a dual carriageway at 60mph when the car suddenly accelerated. I thought the cruise control was on and braked to cancel it, but the car just kept going faster. I tried switching to manual and forcing it into lowest gear with no effect, pumping brake and engaging the hand brake , but the car just kept going faster and I was rapidly approaching other vehicles. So I moved into the fast lane, which was clear, but then two cars pulled out in front of me to overtake a lorry. At 90mph I hit themand am lucky to be alive

  • Welcome to my gentlemans stage of life - 2013 Jaguar XJ

    Ive owned performance oriented cars of all stripes. This is my first tilt into the luxury side of the equation. Ive 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 Ive owned several German cars too.

  • Best value for $$$ - 2013 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    Simply the best car Ive 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 weve owned. The doors close with a solid "thunk" reflecting the quality. Instrumentation is straightforward, and the audio quality is far beyond anything weve heard from Mercedes. Despite the negative reviews of the audio/navigation system, weve found this system much more user friendly, and programs easier than Mercedes clunky system.
