1989 Jaguar XJS Rouge Classic review from North America
"MUST HAVE!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Third owner according to Carfax.
A/C does not get cold. Haven't figured out what the fix is yet.
Car was wrecked (seller lied) Bad paint job and body work.
Passenger side window sticks.
Driver side seat doesn't heat.
General comments?
This car is the most gorgeous and stunning thing there is. I can't stop at the gas station without it taking three times as long cause people want to know what it is and what it has in it!
The car sits low to the ground and is a very comfortable seat unless you are large, then, getting in and out of it is difficult. My husband would much rather sit in the drivers seat due to comfort, but would rather not be in it at all due to size of interior! Personally, I feel like it fits me to a T.
This car is fast, stunning, and quite. There is nothing like driving this car down the highway at over 100 mph. You never even know it til you are there! It is easy to get into trouble in this car. It is quiet as a mouse and feels like it is running on a cloud.
Basically, you will never find anything else like it, and you will either love it or hate it. I will own this car until it gives out completely.
