1995 Jaguar XJR review from Australia and New Zealand
"Unsurpassed comfort, performance and street cred"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Routine maintenance only, most things fixed under warranty by the dealer. The dealer has given excellent service. For example the electric seat fault, rear axle bearing and engine management computer replaced (after the warranty expired); but all were fairly routine faults.
General comments?
Build quality is first class and there are no rattles in the interior. The car drives as well as new and outperforms most cars on the road in looks and performance (which is formidable and absolutely outstanding). It will blow the door handles off most V8 hi-po pretenders and also my MY01 WRX and twin turbo Toyota Soarer, both of which are superb motorcars.
The XJR is the best car I have ever owned. Passengers in it marvel at its ride, comfort and performance. Whilst costly to buy initially, it has been a bargain and heaps of fun.
