1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible review from North America
"This car is an incredible bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a heater valve.
Air conditioner needs a recharge.
General comments?
This is a really fun car to drive. It is fast, looks fantastic and never fails to turn heads as you fly by.
I have the 4.0 litre convertible and it is amazingly quiet with the top up. However, I hardly ever have the top up!
Being a six footer, my right leg gets a bit cramped. But, when it gets uncomfortable I use cruise control for a while and then I'm fine.
The car is fairly economical for its size and weight (4,800 pounds). I average 18 - 19 mpg in the city and up to 24 mpg on the road.
Jaguar dealer service is VERY expensive with even simple repairs costing many hundreds of dollars. Replacing my battery with a Jaguar approved unit cost more than $450.00.
