Jaguar XJ Saloon 4.0 Sovereign 4d (1992/J) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
A lot of car for very little money, but remember the running costs.
Costs
The engine is much more economical than the old Series 3 (up to 26 mpg on a long run! ). Servicing costs can be high.

On the road
Driving
Almost theraputic to drive, but can wallow on sharp corners at speed.
Performance
Acceleration is good in 'sports' mode. Can handle itself fairly well at speed.

Living with it
Reliability
I've had mine for a year, and so far there have been no problems. It pays to have it serviced regualrly, though.
Image
Makes an impression, but lacks the raffish image of the older Jags.
Comfort
Superb ride and very comfortable seats. Very quiet, even at speed. But not much legroom the back.

Security and Service
Security
Not exactly a challenge for an experienced car thief.
Service
Rather pricey, but the service was OK.
