2004 Jaguar XJ8 review from North America
"This Jaguar XJ8 is superb in every way"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Under warranty my dealer replaced a front air spring unit which was noisy.
General comments?
This Jaguar XJ8 saloon is frighteningly fast! Everything about it is first class: the fit, finish, the wood, leather, the comfort, ride, handling, POWER, smoothness, silence, quality of materials.
I have owned many Jaguars (as well as BMW and Mercedes) and this is the best of all. The car has that timeless elegance that makes every Jaguar instantly recognisable and always desirable.
The quality surpasses that of its rivals in every way. The technology packed into this Jaguar is astounding, but it is extremely driver-friendly and intuitive. Now, if only Jaguar did some advertising...
