1998 Jaguar XJ8 L review from North America
"I enjoy the car and would purchase another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The inner panel of the trunk lid had a loose screw, pins in the driver's side door panel came a loose. The sun roof jumped off the track and had to have the radio replace due to faulty cassette player.
General comments?
It has a smooth ride and agile handling, but recently I had the brakes fully serviced and they still continue to squeak. The dealer insists that this is just a characteristic of this car. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, have you found a solution?
