1995 Jaguar XJS review from North America
"Underrated super car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headliner dropped (on my head)
Small electrical problems (mostly fuses/switches)
General comments?
The XJS is a peculiar, but lovely car. It garners many approving looks.
The seating position is odd due to lack of telescopic. I am only 5'9", but I often have the drivers seat fully back. Seating control buttons and general ergonomics and interior look/feel are A1. Fit and finish are superb. Many people (most) bump their head at least once getting in/out (I warned you!)
I removed spare tire for more trunk space/better performance.
Use "sport mode" and shift manually to embarrass Mustangs on the highway.
