Jaguar XJ Saloon 4.0 4d Auto (1990/G) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
You could by three of these luxury cars. Or one new Fiesta!
Costs
You can almost hear the fuel flowing when you press down on the accelerator!

On the road
Driving
Silky smooth, but slow down for the corners. Especially in the wet.
Performance
Unbelievable! Plant your foot and hang on. From 60 - 120 very quickly.

Living with it
Reliability
Had a few problems. Prey the starter holds out. You will either have to strip the engine, or drop the gearbox to get to it. Loads of stupid electronics which throw up worrying lights on the dash!
Image
It changes peoples' view when you cruise past at 120.
Comfort
Pure luxury. The grey leather is still soft. And the interior is still classy, even by today's standards.

Security and Service
Security
Easy to break into. But I don't think joyriders know how quick they go. I had to get an immobiliser for the insurance.
