2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas consumer reviews

Play these cars are in good condition and these are some very well driven cars very beautiful real head turnersbut always be wearing any car you buy always check the maintenance and what does descarte need for his maintenance

I AM driving Jaguar since 1987, the 97-03 model. Always looking for a low meleage Automobile. Have not druiven this one yet, but Jaguars have never disappointed me. Will drive this one with the XJ I already own.

Drove one a year or so ago, fell in love. This one showed up at the Bentley dealership at the right price. I love to drive it. Chasing down a clunk in the back and it will not restart when it gets hot. Was driving it every day, but really cant. Feel I may have to sink a bunch of money into it so I call it my mistress. Not sure if it is battery, starter or alternator. Still rides like a cloud, runs great, beat a Bentley in a drag race. Great car to drive but I knew what I was getting with a 17 year old British car.

Unmistakably the most refined vehicle. It loves the highway and floats in style. When you use sport mode you can feel the difference with all the power unbridled and great handling considering its size. And you cant forget that it simply looks great!

If you are looking for a true luxury car with a unmistakable, refined driving experience you must look into a jaguar. Other than a Mercedes you will not find a nicer ride.

This is the quintessential Jaguar. Fantastic lines and styling. Vehicle is a head turner and a pleasurable drive. Engine reliability is sound. Some issues with some parts have been addressed with new part releases but need to find a vehicle that has been well maintained. This is a genuine Coventry, England built model.

stylish, comfortable, plenty of zip when needed. the long wheel base xj8l vandenplas is the greatest. i've had 3 in the last ten years.

After spending over $10,000 in repairs and service for 4 years, the engine conks out...which can be replaced for another $7,000. No thanks. the well earned reputation for mechanical inadequecies is much deserved. The only benefit to the car was the looks...

The most amazing automatic transmission that makes your forget it's not a manual. It doesn't kick down a gear with a nasty thump when accelerating uphill. The exterior speaks for itself. The interior is amazing. The rear seats have plenty of room, the front seats have the snugness of a sport bucket, with the plushness of a Lazy Boy. The reviews that deplore the minimal interior cabin must prefer wasted space that makes other luxury sedans so boxy and unattractive. I'm over six feet and have plenty of headroom.

I bought this from a member of my family 2 years ago with 78,000 miles on it who bought it new and pampered it. Beyond usual maintenance he had to replace the fuel injectors at about 45,000 miles ($800.00). When I bought it I had to have the interior roof repaired as it was sagging down from the glue losing adhesiveness ($450.00). I use the car for business (financial planner) and it is great! Very comfortable and makes a great impression on clients and at the golf course. A big car..don't expect high performance and handling but if you need it for merging on the highway..the power is there. Beautiful car inside and out with a classy ride. We (my wife and I) LOVE it!!
