1991 Jaguar XJ6 review from UK and Ireland

ABS light insists on there being a fault when there isn't one. Wheel bearings gone after 127000 (thrashing probably) Paralyzed electric windows. Seat support is failing (uncomfortable).

I can't help but like this vehicle. I'm more than happy using it everyday for commuting. There's tons of room inside with plenty of leather and wood to keep the textured plastic finishes at bay. Head height is very low, giving the ride a rather dark, low-down feel.

Great Jaguar music with plenty of clarity & volume. Music unit is custom built, so no swapping it out for a different one.

Performance is serviceable. In a straight line, it's a simple task to sixty (8s) and quite quick to a hundred. (sub 15s) But beyond that, the ride gets jumpy. Corners are another matter, with poor tires it's like a pudding with wheels, and things get ugly when the traction finally lets go. This is not a very rigid car, but then at nearly two and a half tons it's stupid to expect anything else.

Air conditioning is essential as the cabin gets very warm without it (especially when the windows don't open)

These cars are getting stupidly cheap at the minute, and providing you don't get them serviced by a Jag dealer they're fairly cheap to service and repair (about £500 - £1000 per annum for an old one where things need repairing). Fuel comes in at 21 MPG (average) commuting and 26 MPG on the motorway. Which is OK providing your foot doesn't get too heavy (otherwise expect about 10 MPG...oops)

And then there's insurance...
