Superb
Nothing so far.
292000 on the clock, full service history, inline 6 DOHC.Runs like new still.Years ahead of its time. It makes going to work worth getting up for.

Affordable feel-good luxury
Side indicator lamps on front wings rusted out as they trap water if the drain hole gets clogged with mud.
Air conditioning packed up, but I suspect it was faulty when bought, but had been recharged with gas, only to leak out again.
This car is extremely comfortable, powerful and quiet and can be driven long distances at high speed without tiring the driver or passengers.
It is sometimes fun to over-ride the automatic and keep in a lower gear for very responsive performance.
The car generally encourages a very smooth and relaxed driving style as it is big and has a lot of presence on the road.
It averages about 21 miles per gallon in mixed driving.

Just got an xj6,its got a few minor problems, but it is so comfortable and is such a beautiful car, I'm in love.
I brought a 1993 XJ6 3.2 and it's by far the most comfortable, quiet, refined car I have brought!!
The boot is massive; my boxer dog can sit up in there!!
It has some faults:
Fan blower can work when the key is out!! Flat battery!!
Central locking has its own little mind.
The seats can be adjusted to any position imaginable.
The engine is very responsive and the 4 speed auto is always ready to kick down when needed.
I average 18 mpg, and on a run I will get 26.
But all in all, I will live with the faults as I have a fantastic ultra reliable car that never fails to please!!
I just bought a 1993 XJ6 with 149k miles on it for my son (his first car). I PRAY that it is reasonably reliable and very safe.
One of the best looking cars ever made on my opinion.
Safety is as good as any car from the time period, but reliability is a little under average and they are expensive to repair.
