2002 Jaguar Vanden Plas XJ8 review from North America
"Best car ever owned - I have owned 17"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing other than scheduled maintenance. And a control arm bushing replacement.
General comments?
I have owned three Jaguars. 1991, 1998 and 2002. The 2002 XJ8 by far has been the best. Low service cost, excellent ride and handling. Great machine!!!
