2000 Jaguar XJ8 Sovereign review from Australia and New Zealand
"Awesome and outstanding"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
A vast improvement on the XJ40 series, love the dashboard layout, good quality leather and walnut.
Disappointed in rear seat back comfort.
Impressed with the economy, averaging 9-10.5 ltrs per 100 kms.
Better economy than 2.4ltr double cab utes.
Miss the throaty V8 sound.
Would buy another jag.
Will change to Yokohama tyres when the overly expensive Pirelli tyres wear out.
Great handling car.
