If you want a car that has aged well to be over 10 years

If you want a car that has aged well to be over 10 years old since the restyling and still features all the options of a modern day car for substantially less money but substantially more in style and quality details, then this car is for you! The portfolio long wheelbase model has been a superb pick having all of the options like air cooled, heated and massaging seats, Touchscreen and voice activated navigation, smart phone integration, lane change management, and everything you’d expect on a modern day luxury vehicle but more than you’d ever imagine on a car over 12 years old with the price to own being everything for practically nothing to look like something that is driven by someone with style frim the upper class. It is like owning a vintage wine to be even more fine as time passes and it becomes the epidemy of a classic by sheer design with loads of burl (burr) wood, Connelly leather, aviation aluminum, chrome and put together with tail lights that look like the Jaguars claws have scratched the rear as its stance is seen from the front and the top fades to black at the back to look like a lanyard on a yacht made for land in Coventry, England, for a truly discriminating owner who will have a long lasting beauty. That is as long as it is respected and maintained by someone who is diligent with their duty to keep it tuned, serviced and detailed to be something so rare out there. Not like the million Benz and Beamer badges aging as seen by the millions when the Jag was limited in it’s initial production to combine rare styling, beauty, sexy seduction in the thousands. It’s known to catch your eye as others sneak by because the kitty has the smart and witty look that won’t lag to keep it on top horsepower slotted as a true beast found under the beauty’s clothing made to fly as the claws grip still catching your eye to lead and never chase when the BenzBeamer labels are like drifting rafts lefts behind the in the horsepower motor blast that streams like a dream to be a that's that’s cast with the big dreamers of rare owners leaving their prey behind to find greater fun around the curves and corners zooming past that typical scene no Jag can be said to hang or lag or age like some old outdated hag. Found behind the steering wheel, you will often see the likes of true royalty wearing a real crown and those who like the way it’s presented as the XJ-L to be the sound of a roaring kitty heard to tell by the grrrrrowler’s roar like a throaty, fast and muscularly built agile leaper to keep its youthful appearance to be cast in the role of long lasting leader and predator to blast past all prey and be all the luxury those others envy in cars cast to feel like the cat’s meow that is the king of cars or queen with no scars in the auto-wars to be hard to beat as a true classic with this jungle cat purring like a kitty but controlling the road like a lion who is king of the jungle when roaring down the road in the most nimble and agile sporty symbol to recommend to those who appreciate the poetic way it flows as this review written to endorse the cat of course. Look out to see the way you’ll find the XJ design as perfection that sets a tone as a kitty so fast and pretty to be cast as the leader of the pack purrrfect to own for value, class, quality, and style as grown to be shown mixing the meow just right now saving the amount of dough to get up and go without spending a fortune, though. Upon the thousands you’ll save, you’ll be no slave to pay it off and still have money to save at the price you’ll find to be all the rage and reviews like mine that’ll rave of the way you feel driving this fave!

Super Luxury and absolutely best styling, fast

This is my 4th Jaguar. I got the top of the line loaded Super Charged Long version. The styling is stunning. Very comfortable. Luxurious, stylish and yet practical for every day use. Very reliable. Only Cons: Infotainment system like 2 generations behind and slow. Pros: Everything. Not sure where to start. Compared to other brands top sedans, reasonably priced. And, despite their reputation, these are reliable. Just as reliable as comparable Mercedes S Class and better then BMW 7series

Scares me to death

Vehicle caught on fire with me in it on my way to work one morning the most frightening experience I've ever had. I really hope you take responsibility for the cars that you promote If I wouldn't have gotten out of vehicle when did I wouldn't be able to write my concerns today nor I wouldn't be identified as a person only by my license plate number on the vehicle. Much as I enjoyed my car I am to afraid to purchase another.

Fuel pump. Car stalls out On the highway

Fuel pump. Car stalls out on the highway while on drive. Very Unexpected and terrifying. Unsafe, It’s happened Several times. On the highway, vehicle are going 70 mph and the jaguar wants to stall out. Several cars almost hit me and could have caused accidents. It just stops out of the blue. Happened more then once. I had my family in the car, if other driver are not paying attention We should have all been in the hospital. Thank god it wasn’t rush hour. I’ve read so many reviews of other jaguar With the same problem. Very unsafe for anyone or any family. unexpected and terrifying

Love this car.

So happy I got this car. I get compliments on it almost everyday. Mostly from perfect strangers. It drives well and it is very comfortable. My car makes quite a statement everywhere I go.

The Best Jaguar has to Offer!!!!

This car is one of the best vehicles I have had bang for buck. The front seats have massagers and the 475HP is readily available. Maintenance cost can get kind of pricey but I had a CPO which covered mostly everything for 7Yrs / 100,000 miles.
