This car has tremendous "cool factor".

It's just a gorgeous car and a privilege to sit in.

Fantastic power and I've averaged 18.5 L-100km on the hwy even with hills.

Seats uncomfortable for long trips.

I bought this low mileage beauty a little over a week ago. The exterior has tremendous appeal and the interior is an experience just to sit in. However, I have found it not comfortable on longer trips. I just got back from a 210 mile each way trip and I'm worn out. Besides the uncomfortable drivers seat, it's a chore to drive unless the highway is perfectly straight.

I've seen other reviews that claim it tears up large amounts of hwy at high speeds and will get you there just as fresh as when you left. To my disappointment I found this was not true with my car.

Faults:

Needed a heater valve.

Air conditioner needs a recharge.

General Comments:

This is a really fun car to drive. It is fast, looks fantastic and never fails to turn heads as you fly by.

I have the 4.0 litre convertible and it is amazingly quiet with the top up. However, I hardly ever have the top up!

Being a six footer, my right leg gets a bit cramped. But, when it gets uncomfortable I use cruise control for a while and then I'm fine.

The car is fairly economical for its size and weight (4,800 pounds). I average 18 - 19 mpg in the city and up to 24 mpg on the road.

Jaguar dealer service is VERY expensive with even simple repairs costing many hundreds of dollars. Replacing my battery with a Jaguar approved unit cost more than $450.00.

Faults:

Suspension is quite rough, steering wheel as well (probably as expected on a sports car). Forget about the 2+2 seats --- rather a 1+1 .

White smoke (gasket heads?) while cold engine.

General Comments:

Great looks, reliable engine, always starts at once. Very comfortable drivers position.

Basically nothing has gone wrong with this car.

I replaced the oxygen sensor at 55,000 miles and did the complete 60K maintenance work.

This car is a joy to own and drive - definitely a head turner.

My biggest challenge is not hitting the lower air scoop/grill on curbs when parking - it is very low.

By 1994 and this series (4), Jag had most/all of any problems corrected, and had the styling at it's best for the XJS convertible.

General Comments:

My car is white with tan top and tan leather - all in great shape (top was replaced by previous owner).

The car handles beautifully - low and wide equals great cornering.

The back seat is OK for young children, but that's about all that will fit back there!

Faults:

This car is a little too hot!

I have had some issues with the engine running very hot, I have to keep an eye on it when sitting in traffic on hot days. The air conditioning system is very expensive to replace, so since I live in N.E. I have opted not to replace it.

The engine seeps a little oil continuously. Come to find out that it is characteristic of the XJS V-12, but annoying to leave little oil spots everywhere!

The electrical system is an adventure, but only when something goes wrong. I have had to replace several relays over the years.

General Comments:

A head turner! One of the most beautiful cars ever made.

The Jaguar XJS-V12 is as powerful as it is beautiful.

It is impossible to drive another car once you have experienced this sexy kitten!
