  • This is my third XJ over 28 years - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    The 83 XJ6 was stately and stable, the 98 XJ8 had elegance with performance. This 2011 XJ, with the interior upgrade package, has all of the above attributes on steroids. Steering is very quick and precise. Acceleration and braking are awesome. Jaguar now has a car with all the bells and whistles expected at this price point, along with the beautiful styling and brilliant performance expected of Jaguars. This is a world class car.

    What a refreshing example of a brand! The old XJ was tired (but reliable) and needed an update. Just left the car wash and felt sorry for the Panamera next to me! An extra $30,000 for a four seater that doesnt know if it is a sedan or not. Havent seen a breakout car since the 2005 Chrysler 300 till this. Should be the luxury Car of the Year. Front row car at five star restaurants. Move over Audi, BMW & Mercedes.

  • The big cat of modern motoring - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    I have a propensity of hating big cars. Therefore, with some reservation, I leased a XJ super charge last week after the lease expiration of XF Supercharge. (This is my forth Jaguar vehicle). The car is a wonder, it dissipates my dislike for big cars as it actually feels agile and precise in handling (you don’t feel the car is big when driving). The power is beyond any description and more than adequate at all levels. My car is in ultimate black with London tan as interior. Just a week, the car has totally won my admiration as well as a lot of compliments from pedestrians at stoplights and strangers at car washing place. This is cat befitting the image of Jaguar, elegance, power and luxury.

    The car is amazing. Interior is well crafted. Drove on the highway for 8 hours this week-end. No fatigue, body aches, etc. Excellent ride. Gas mileage on the highway is outstanding. One word to describe the engine, POWERFUL.

  • One of a kind - 2011 Jaguar XJ

    I leased this car because I found that there is not a car on the road like this. Im coming out of a xk. All you see on the road is BMW 7 MB 550 and they really dont stand out, this car is an animal, fast, quiet, handles great. Luxury and state of the art. Simple solution: go see it and drive one

  • SuperSport: Just something extra - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    As is custom built and I ordered my 2011 SJL SS in March 2010 and wait to end of August 2010 for delivery the wait was worth every moment. I had driven the Supercharged 470hp with all the extra add ons that are standard on the Superport and just had to have the ultimate with 40Hp more. Long wheel base is great, hadles like a sports car (almost) and goes like the new Ferrari 1/2 second slower in 1/mile at 112mph. Eats up miles with on long trips of 12hrs without driver fatigue. Maybe the best car ever and at a bargin price. In metalic silver looks like a block of machined aircraft aluminun. Sound system is better than any I have heard from expensive stereo/theater systems.

    The very best car I have ever owned. Cars I have owned,MB-SL, Lexus, BMW, Nissan Z, many great cars. This car is the funnest, fastest machine I have owned. And this is the wife"s car. If you can afford one you will buy after a test drive.

  • Love this car - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    I just wanted to echo the sentiments of all the other reviews I have read about this car, its simply the most incredible machine on the road. I have owned flagship German cars and I promise you, if you drive this car you will be hard pressed to purchase an S class, 7 series, or an A8. The supercharged version is brutally quick. The interior of this car shames all of its German competitors. I have always been a fan of Jaguar but for reliability reasons was never comfortable enough to buy one, until now. This car is a game changer for Jaguar.

  • 11 XJ is a Winner - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    This is an all-around outstanding vehicle. Beautiful design inside and out. Rocket fast for its size. Its unique from all other cars on the road today. While the XJ is a very expensive vehicle, it is a relatively good value compared to other super premium sedans.

  • Thrilled - 2011 Jaguar XJ
    By -

    What a car! Ive been a Jaguar fan most of my life having owned 7 over 45 years. Ive also owned a BMW & MB. The first time I saw this new Jag was while passing it on an interstate, and I had the immediate reaction of missing the old XJ look. Then I started looking at photos and reading about it. My old XJL has over 212,000 miles on it so started driving & comparing several new luxury sedans. I saved the Jag for last. The beauty & performance of the car were stunning! After a week of testing the speed & cornering limits (mine, not the cars), Ive settled down to enjoying its stately side around town, like a grandmother should. I love the car!
