  Drives like a jet fighter - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By phdunn - November 28 - 8:36 am

  Great smooth acceleration, some wind noise, comfortable ride. Corners very well with little sway. Good gas mileage (18-19 in city & 26 on Interstate). Very good controls and within easy reach. Car not for large people, OK if you are tall. Great leg room in front and sufficient in rear. Limited cup holders, only 1 set in front. Tables in back of front seat are high. Plush wool floor mats. After purchasing, drove 600 miles without a hitch. This is the closest to having a sedan that drives like a sports car.

  Reliable and Stylish - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By woofi - March 20 - 2:00 am

  I considered several cars before buying this car, including the Mercedes S-500 and Audi A-8. When it came down to it, I had to ask why I was buying it. Had my plans including driving 100 mph on the German Autobahns, I would have chosen from the German cars. But I wanted style and something comfortable to ride around town and short distances within Texas. The Jaguar won hands-down!

  Super Cat - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By Gabriel - January 25 - 9:53 pm

  What a wonderful car to own and drive. I upgraded the wheels to the XJRs 18" and had a cone air filter installed to take off the restrictione. It opens up about 30hp and really lets the engine scream. Huge difference. The car is at home both in city or highway use. I wish it had a more modern navi system like the newer ones, and that gas cost $1.50 other than that, this is my dream car. Everyone that has ridden it loves it. Very, very solid. Get one if can. Dont even consider a Germany car over this, they do not compare.

  Love My Jag - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By braceand - October 6 - 10:00 am

  I have owned and driven, Cadillacs, Lincoln Continentals, Mercedes Benz and Porsche. Although these are all fine vehicles, the Jaguar XJ8 is the most complete as far as reliability, comfort, ease of driving and maintenance.

  Beautiful ride. No issues in the last three years other than replacing brakes. Very dependable.

  2000 XJ8 - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By Scot - December 8 - 12:10 am

  I purchased my Jag used with 38000 miles. The car has stunning lines and great styling. Its amazingly small inside for a big car and sits very low to the ground - tall or heavy people may not like the size. I have had a couple of maintenance items in the six months Ive owned that ended up costing quite a bit - I chalk these items to the cost of buying a used car. The car also has a tendency to rattle - especially from the dash area. The Pirelli tires also seem to be susceptible to flat spotting rather quickly. All in all, I am very pleased with the car - its got great style, stellar ride and performance, and as a used car, great value.

  Saved our lives - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By stanhash - October 23 - 6:03 am

  This car was totaled because of a dummy who has dodged a deer in front of us but chose to leave his car sideways on a curve . . . at night, without his lights on. My wife and I (driving) hit him square (T-boned) (He had already run away). Both front airbags deployed, the traction control and abs brakes kept the car from skidding and there were no injuries save for a slightly scraped nose from the air bag deployment on the right hand side. The was crumpled to the back doors. We bought another one two years newer and like it even more!!!
