BEST CAR TOYOTA EVER MADE, AHEAD OF TIME!! EXCELENT RIDE, GOOD IN GAS TO, RADIO, CD AND CASETTE, BEAUTIFUL STEREO SYSTEM, BIG TRUNK AND REAR SEATS FOLDABLE FOR MORE CARGO SPACE!!!

Performance amazing Most comfortable vehicle I've ever had the pleasure of driving everything about it is beautiful the seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat it as if your being massaged while in them it's absolutely addicting to drive corners beautifully without body roll turns are seamless runs silent I call it the wisper drive you can't tell it's running until you tap the gas in sport mode and feel as if your flying through the air watch your speedo carefully you can fly without trying and everything feels 30mph higher than it is the only issues I've had with it are from age and even though I've spent more than it's worth working on it I wouldn't trade it for anything I get compliments on her everywhere I go the 2000 Jaguar vanden plas is an absolute dream and once you own one I guarantee you'll fall in love with it as I did

For over a decade I drove a 2000 Maxima, which I thought was the best-balanced sedan on the market. Until 2009, when I got a Jaguar XJ8 in excellent condition for a lower price than an equivalent Maxima. Zowie, what a jump in class and performance. The 2000 Jaguar XJ8, especially the Vanden Plas version, is not only a timeless beauty that attracts compliments from everyone, but also smoother and more powerful than the Maxima. Reliability is just as good, and even fuel economy is basically the same (17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway). The only slight complaint, believe it or not, is a fairly shallow trunk, although it is slightly deeper and wider. Ride and handling are superior.

The vehicle is very nice for it's age. It has low mileage, it is comfortable, everything works and has plenty of leg room.

Magnificent !!!! Wonderful engineering....A well built automobile that really moves for its size and weight..... well appointed dashboard and easy reach to get to just about any accessory...

Had this car for 3 years now. It just hit 160k. The only major repair was the knock sensors. Would recommend this car to anyone. The best highway car I have ever owned. Have taken it to Banff numerous times.

I searched long and hard for the right deal to come along and it did. Thanks to Car.com (and others) for providing me with so many options to cloose from. I am very satified with the outcome.

Do not buy this car until you read the horror stories regarding the problems with the timing chain tensioners total engine failures at barely 20,000 miles and no warranty coverage at all by ford who bought Jaguar. My jaguar had 41,000 miles on it when the tensioners got weak and started making noise it would cost me more to fix than it was worth so I had to trade it in.

i would ask a family or friend to buy one,because my car is strong. The car is a good value for your money

Overall it is a great car. The restricted performance issues were a bit tricky to work out but after figuring out what it was doing it all makes sense. Only runs on 93 octane and needs the plugs and gap to be exact. I don't like the plastic timing chain guides but haven't changed them yet. AJ-27 engine and read 365WHP on a dynojet
