Anybody ever heard of The Jaguar? - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
By Peaches - November 22 - 2:00 amIve owned 3 Mercedes, the last,a 2000 S430, and thought that I was driving the best until I saw the Jag commercial and went and drove one. The 2004 XJ8 rides smoother, quieter, peppier, and handles better on the road than my Benz ever did. We just returned on a 1000 mile trip and enjoyed every mile of it. This Jag is a winner

living the fanatasy - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
By wingwinj - September 30 - 10:00 amSome times fantasy is fulfilled. The new XJ-8 is comfortable, quick and well styled. The constant complements and smiles keep coming. Great pick-up and cornering and much better traction in a Chicago winter than I ever imagined. I feel great when I drive this car.

XJR: a sports car in a sedans body - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
By donfenn - September 4 - 10:00 amThis car has been a wonderful driving experience for my first few days of ownership. It is fast, quiet, smooth, and very responsive. It is a very slick, attractive vehicle, but it is clean, elegant and understated. The supercharger offers the power when you want it, but it is very driveable in normal city driving. I am getting about 17 mpg on the first few tanks of gas---- which seems good for a 390 HP V8 in city driving!

Gorgeous car; ugly repairs. - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
By indiansummer - September 2 - 6:11 amBought this car in January of 2011 with 13k miles on it. Always wanted this model. I knew what I was getting myself into but was stubbornly optimistic. I wanted to believe Jag had improved their reliability over the years but was quickly disappointed. The performance is beyond reproach and I admit I am now spoiled with its power and plush interior. But by 20K, one of the shocks blew. By 30k, the air suspension compressor died. By 40k, another shock blew. By 45k, the car died mid-ride (thank God I wasnt on the freeway). The dreaded "engine systems fault" light illuminated. Dealer couldnt figure out the problem and it magically cured itself; promptly traded it for reliable Lexus.

seventh XJ since 1969 - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
By JHB-2 - August 29 - 2:00 amMy most exciting XJ was 1973, series 2. The 04 revives the excitement. It is quick, quiet and comfortable. The competition was the 04 Audi A8L Audi hadmore rear room, but was not as cofortable nor as responsive on curves.

Road Comfort - 2004 Jaguar XJ-Series
By Furniture Corp - July 11 - 2:00 amThe new Jaquar VandenPlas carries full comfort while driving in the city and especially on the highway. The faster you go, the smoother it feels. The 16 position seat gives the driver lumbar support that makes the drive tireless.
