1996 Jaguar XJ6 3.2

Summary:

Luxury barge with great looks! Beware electrics

Faults:

Electrics (lots of stuff - 2000€ total).

Heater valve (150€).

Steering rack (700€).

Ignition coils (600€).

Interior pieces that have broken (300€ used parts).

Front suspension parts (have not fixed yet).

Crankshaft sensor (150€).

General Comments:

I will summarize these cars for you:

- Not fast but not slow! You will expect more from a 3.2 or 4.0, but hey they were not meant to be fast...

- Silky ride, super smooth, but beware of the front suspension since it is heavy.

- Very beautiful interiors and well put together! A great place to be.

- Consumption about 12/13 if driven gently, 15/16 city, 11/12 highway.

- Engine and gearboxes are very reliable, all the problems are electrical since everything seems to be made by an ex NASA team that was fired! Very complex electrics with lots of ECUs, a really PITA.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Good honest review, these are nice cars, but no one could run them for cheap, new or used. The unique luxury and style made them worth it though.
