1997 Jaguar XJR review from North America
"Hands down, the best car ever built!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had rear end rebuilt when I first bought it.
Twice, over the last year, I have had the anti lock, trac fail, and trac off lights on at the same time. But they have gone off on their own.
General comments?
Gorgeous black with black leather interior. Very nice shape. Plush like a Lincoln town car. Also handles better than any vehicle I have ever had.
Seems to be very reliable. Gas mileage is not a good as I would have expected, at 21 mpg. That is the only fault I see with this car. She also turns heads wherever we go.
