1991 Jaguar XJS review from North America
"The car is a very good, very unique vehicle, It has speed, handling, convertible fun, and loves 94 o"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have had parking brake repaired, which required replacement of rear calipers and pads. This was required for state inspection.
Rear brakes are now squeaking, this may now cause me to have the rear rotors replaced.
Heated seats don't work.
Power door locks don't work well.
Interior map lights don't function properly.
Had the oil sending switch replaced, it was leaking oil.
General comments?
This car is very solid. My first impression of it was that it is a large, heavy car. Upon sitting in it though, it becomes smaller, or at least feels smaller. There is not a lot of extra space around the driver or passenger.
A driver has to use the accelerator pedal to really enjoy the potential of this car.
