1993 Jaguar XJ6 review from North America

From the day I bought this car, something was wrong. I only ended up owning it for 11 months and I put in over $9,000 worth of repairs (and nothing was wrong as of the day I bought it). I had to replace all four rotors and pads (they all warped) for $1,300, the fuel pump for $1,250, all the O2 censors for $500, the engine fan (both of them) for $900, the AC for $350, multiple circuits (they kept blowing which in turn blew out my tail lights and every time I replaced them, they blew again) for who knows how much money when you add all them up, and many other problems. Not a month went by when I did not have to take it to the dealership which charges $90/hour for labor and adds (they specifically told me) 25% onto the cost of every part. I tried to take it to other places, but they refused (including Ford dealerships which obviously own Jaguar) because they all said they were not trained to work on Jags. On top of this, an oil change costs $95 on a Jag XJ6. I almost never made it out of the shop for less than $500.

This is by far the worst car I have ever owned or can even imagine owning. I do not know how they are still in business when they make cars this poor quality. Even the myth that Jags are fast is false. this is one of the slowest cars I have ever driven. It was extremely smooth at high speeds (over 100 mph) but it takes too long to get there. Forget taking anyone off the line, my Jeep is 10 times faster than it from a stop. The one and only upside to this is that everyone at the dealership is extremely nice and they have great customer service. I had previously driven my dad's Jeep and have since bought my own. I have never had any problems with it and will never buy anything different again.
