1993 Jaguar XJS Convertible review from North America
"Luxury convertible bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bushing replacement on shock-$10.
6 shocks-$300--Changed myself.
Seats are showing wear on driver's side.
Top needs replacement. Est. cost $600 with new top.
General comments?
A joy to drive. Recent trip to Zion was
great. Added windbreaker for top down cruising.
Great balance between handling and comfort. Added larger sway bar and upgraded rack bushings for
better control.
Quick in sport mode.
23 mpg on highway, 19 in town (far better than my 89 V-12).
