2000 Jaguar XJ8 review from North America
"Most reliable car I ever owned.. I've owned over 80 cars!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced electric motor on drivers seat, 21800 miles, but under warranty.
Replaced power antenna at 78000 - $39.
Front shocks replaced at 80000 for air shocks, $168, installed myself, very easy, not sure I should even include this as shocks were still fair.
General comments?
Ride is unlike any other sedan, feels like a sports car.
Interior still looks as good as anything made in 2009.
Improved fuel economy by changing factory air filter type and upgraded to 4 point spark plugs.
24 mpg city and highway if operated under 70 mph.
Excellent power for a small block V8.
