Faults:

Come on face it... this is a 17 year old car, for any make... it should have some faults by now with normal wear and tear...

We had the old radiator fan replaced, added an additional fan (Japan made) for the extreme hot summer here in Bangkok. Some gaskets replaced, coolant reserve cap replaced, several light bulbs, a new set of tires.

All the cost around $600USD, which is considerably way below my expectation of upkeep.

General Comments:

The car drives like a giant oversize sofa on the roads, it is big and feel big. The rear room is much less than I would expect. Although Jaguar's build quality cannot match the Benz, which I also own, and I feel less "secure" inside the Jaguar than my daily Toyota, knowing it might break down anytime.... but, Jaguar is the most beautiful car that I have ever owned before.

Whenever I have a chance, I will take it out of garage and make a short trip to the neighborhood 7-11.

Not much a street racer and even at highway touring, it does show its age with vibration beyond 110km/hr.

But it has presence... huge presence.

It is LOVE and HATE relationship.

I love it... will I buy another Jaguar again?

Maybe not... but I am keeping this one for sure.

Faults:

Replaced front brakes, pads and shocks, fuel fail/23 light came on, went off. Head light comes loose over rough bumps, just push it back, lock on one rear door sticks a bit, just needs to be lubed I'm sure.

General Comments:

Car really has been very good to me, great balance, people love it.

Pretty good in snow, no real issues at all, has enough ground clearance to get me through mud season.

I have a local guy that loves Jags and works on them for a reasonable rate. Stunningly beautiful car, just handsome as all hell. Sits in a corner very nicely.

Faults:

Have to turn the ignition 20- 30 times before the fuel pump comes on and cranks.

General Comments:

Sleek, elegant, and dependable, but high maintenance.

Faults:

Nothing so far.

General Comments:

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.

Faults:

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.

General Comments:

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.
