1995 Jaguar XJS review from North America
"Stylish, fast and a class act!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The usual wear on the driver seat. Other than that, nothing! More dependable than my 2005 Suburban I bought new!
General comments?
This car is a looker inside and out (topaz color with tan leather). Most people either love the looks or hate it, and when sitting nest to my 1988 XJ6, they prefer the XJ6.
I feel if one tightened up the steering and other things, including a sport chip, this would be a very fast-handling Grand Tourer. No doubt though, the car has a great feel about it when you drive it.
If I had to do it over, I would still buy this car since there were only 364 4.0L coupes brought in by Jaguar in 1995. A whole lot better ride than a 911 Porsche, and rarer too.
