Jaguar XJ Saloon 4.0 4d Auto (1990/G) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Depreciation leaves used Jags as cheap as chips.
Costs
Yeah well... it's a 4 litre Jag. What did you expect?

On the road
Driving
Even after 140k miles, drives like a dream.
Performance
If you can afford the fuel, she has all the speed you need.

Living with it
Reliability
Lots of annoying electrical gadget failures. Engine / gearbox etc are no problem.
Image
Great... if you accept that you're an old git.
Comfort
Legroom in the back not ideal... but who wants to sit in the back?

Security and Service
Security
You'll need to beef up the systems if you ever want to park it in a dodgy area.
Service
My local dealer are polite, but less interested in a 12 year old car.
