  Love the change - 2011 Jaguar XJ
  By Robert - June 22 - 8:06 am

  I have been a Jaguar owner previously (2), as well as Mercedes and BMW (2). I am thrilled with the design change with the XJ. I wish they had a better ad campaign, I believe more people would buy this car instead of Mercedes or BMW if they new of the change.

  Rock Star - 2011 Jaguar XJ
  By 1970L78 - March 3 - 11:30 am

  I must say Jaguar was not on my list of cars to consider. On the insistence of a friend, I begrudgingly agreed to take a quick look. My God is this the purist, most advanced car on the market today! I bought one the next day as I just wanted to review my thoughts. This car is the grandest and liveliest full size sedan the world has yet seen. I drove the Panamera and was almost angry when done. The 750 LI was a heavy driving complicated mess of a design gone wrong (and this car was 1st on my list). I tried so hard to like it. I did not. The Jaguar was breathtaking in both form and function. Everywhere I go, it turns heads. A saw a lady walk into a light pole the other day ogling the car.

  Big Cat - 2011 Jaguar XJ
  By ljosephus - February 3 - 2:10 pm

  We only have 3,000 miles on our SJL but, so far, we are really pleased. Performance is fine. Rear seat legroom is exceptional. With the exception of what appear to be overly wide gaps at fenders, hood, trunk lid, etc. the build quality seems excellent. Just a few minor niggles: The rear cup holders are positioned in a way that makes them virtually unusable. The wood grain on the front doors does not match that across the dash (under the windshield), there is no dead pedal and the electronic responses (start-stop button, for example) is way too slow. Ride is a little harsh. Standard radio is great! Both the transmission and engine are A-OK! And the value, overall, is outstanding.

  WOW - 2011 Jaguar XJ
  By Kirkari - June 21 - 9:56 pm

  I had a BMW 650 and wanted to get a larger car as my kids did not fit in the back any longer. So the natural choice was the 750Li. As I was negotiating with my dealer, I noticed with my preferred options, the pricing put the car over $102K. I stopped and thought I should shop around for other comparable cars such as the S550 and the Panamera S. Luckily the Jag XJL Supercharge caught my attention on edmunds.com. After test driving the Jag, I thought to myself, OMG, what a beast! I instantly fell in love with the workmanship and the power. First thing I thought, I’m going to be faster than the other 3 cars and save over $10K on the pricing. Goodbye BMW!

  Jaguar XJL Supercharged - 2011 Jaguar XJ
  By carsrgr8 - June 5 - 5:41 pm

  We bought a used jaguar xjl supercharged in march. We were looking at a range rover, porsche panamera or maserati quattroporte. We decided to test a jaguar xj and this was it. Stiched leather, glossy burl wood and chrome accents cover the cabin. The car is fully loaded and comes with ventilated seats front and rear and massaging seats. The engine is a monster supercharged 5.0L V-8 that makes 470 hp. The instrument cluster is digital and looks like a laptop screen. It is very well lit and is made to resemble real gauges but you can bring up navigation and radio on the screen. The exterior also has no radio sharkfin which contributes to its sexy roofline. Buy it and you wont be disappointed.

  Amazing and beautiful - 2011 Jaguar XJ
  By trojan - May 15 - 10:00 am

  My last several cars have been MB/Audi/MB/BMW. Ive always wanted a "Jag" since seeing them as a kid but expense plus reliability always gave me pause. As soon as I saw the new XJ I got goosebumps - loved the lines and modern styling. Interior makes the German cars look pathetic. Although I wouldnt have imagined getting a full size sedan, I got an Ultimate Black Supercharged SWB. The figured ebony trim is gorgeous. So comfortable. Feels very light - super smooth acceleration. Love it! My dealer (Rusnak in Pasadena) has exhibited personal attention to detail, the German dealers never showed. You will love the stares. Several folks have stopped me to compliment the beauty of the car.

  the Jag finally makes the leap into 21st century - 2011 Jaguar XJ
  By nsgy - March 12 - 9:43 am

  was in the market to replace my 06 Range Rover Sport with a new supercharged one when my wife stumbled across the Jag XJ. we both loved the look and decided to test drive it. Once I sat in it I was mesmerized, once I drove it I was Sold. had it for a week. I would have never considered the a Jag before ( old people car). but this new car puts the S550, 750Li, Audi A8 to shame with looks and performance. Car&Driver tested it at 4.4 sec 0-60 and lists its competitors as S63, Maserati Quatroporte, Porsche Panamera Turbo, all of which cost 40k more than the Jag. love the stares and compliments. very poorly advertised. out since 2010, did not know it existed. the Jag for the young.
