2004 Jaguar XJ8 review

A good friend talked me into buying the XJ8 and I am so glad he did. It has been the best car by far that I have owned. A lot of people were surprised that a Jag could be so incredibly reliable, but it has been. Unlike some others, the front air suspension only caused me minor issues, and now it seems the the little O rings are doing their job and I don't have problems, even in a Canadian winter. At first I kept it in the garage in winter, but started thinking that the electronics were going to age whether I drove it or not, so I bought winter wheels and tires for it and used it year round, although I tried to avoid winter storms. I still get compliments on the car, but the best one was some years ago when I pulled into a driveway and two boys around tens years old told me how great the car looked. It is always a pleasure to drive. We are down to one vehicle now as we are retired, and I don't want to leave a vehicle out of the garage and in year round weather. The radio is a little suspect, picking up static too often, but that is a very minor concern. Everything else has worked incredibly well, even after 20 years! We need an SUV to meet more of our transportation needs, but I just can't get to the point of letting the Jag go and getting something more practical. Ford did a great job redesigning the XJ8. I think they made it more jaguar-like, and less leopard-like with the more substantial looking body. It is too bad that the sales weren't high enough for them to keep the brand.
