2000 Jaguar XJ8 4 litre review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant improvement"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing apart from two replacement stop lamp bulbs.
General comments?
This car is a 1000% improvement on my previous Daimler Sovereign (XJ6)
In 'sport' mode it is seriously fast, with braking & handling to match.
The engine is totally unobtrusive and uses 1 litre of (very expensive) oil per 10,000 miles.
