I leased a new XJ in 2015 for 3 years and I was 34-35 at the time. One of the nicest cars I have had. No issues in 3-4 years, basic service and returned my lease without issue. I had a preowned S-Class before which is often the benchmark for this segment and loved both cars. I would say to ignore the mainstream sentiment and opinions on these type of cars....it is often passed on by people who have barely sat, let alone driven the car. Just discovered your channel btw, great reviews and content.

I was one of those people, that was miffed over the new design direction. Over the past decade, they’ve grown on me, and now I think they are beautiful, distinctive, and still fresh and modern. Jaguar took a big risk, radically transforming an iconic model, and the gamble paid off, brilliantly. And yes, I do want one.

Guilty. Jags have that effect on their fans. I still remember Robert McCall’s ‘86 Black XJ, in The Equalizer. Probably the coolest car (for the coolest character) on TV. It didn’t have to talk, and it didn’t have to tear up the countryside, evading Boss Hogg, it was a JAG.
@MrSchulta 4 жыл бұрын
@@patrickburgess1107 yeah mate, despite my jokes, I hear you and agree. My Dad had an '86, a gun-metal grey V12, and it was the most mind numbingly cool car. I remember when the new shape was released, trying to convince my school mates it was a real Jag, while inwardly thinking "what have you done, Jaguar?" Nowadays I appreciate the design, especially the bravery and daring to break the traditional mould. Part of me wishes more people would see how awesome they are and buy them over a German fridge, but another part of me is like "nah man, these beasts need to stay exclusive". And yes, I also want one!

As a avid Jaguar enthusiast, who still owns the legendary X 300 model ( mine is a 1996 Jaguar Xj Vanden Plas), I will say definitely worth to buy the featured Jag in this video. Just like the X 300 took Jaguar into the 1990s with its sleek design, this car is worth every penny. I am proud that my old cat still holds its British legendary pedigree of true Jaguar craftsmanship. My engine 4.0 Inline 6 ( AJ 16) is pushing almost 300,000 original miles. This is the best car I ever owned and, I am looking forward to keep buying more future classic Jaguar models. Did I say that my Jag is my daily driver? Yes it is, and I am proud to drive it every day.

I then moved to another car for a year but I felt something was missing in my life so last month I bought another one 18 plate and god I love it.

I was very much in the "Appalled" camp when I heard they were doing away with the older XJ styling, and particularly the wood dash, which just seemed too iconic to lose. Its not a Jag without a wood dash or so I thought at the time, it had elegance that this new interior seemed to lack. But over the years since I have come to appreciate the more modern styling and now, I think the modern interior is stunning.

I absolutely love the new XJ. The new subseries that came about in 2016. In good long roads it is a masterpiece. As Jeremy Clarkson once said about it: "The S-class may be a comparable limo to this but an S-class doesn't stop and go and steer anywhere near as good as this". I know the Germans rule in car tech but the XJ is the most beautiful one. A head turner for sure. I believe the "facelifted" version has about 5hp more of the 3.0 turbo diesel. Anyways, it's a dream car along with the iconic XK (which Jaguar should bring it back), and I wish the used ones were as cheap outside as they are in the UK. To be honest I wish it was a little wider.

I have an XJL 2013, AWD 3.0 in Maine. I love it. I believe if you take care of the car, it will take care of you. Keep up with service records, gas = Premium, and car wash 2X a month at least, especially in the Winter. It handles well. And did I mention you're sounded in Leather and wood? Every seat is spacious and welcoming.

I remember well I was not pleased with the new jaguar design But once driven the XF an XJ I changed my mind. The jaguar heritage is still there but ready for the future. Definitely the next Jaguar on my list. And the dumb grin on your face is all what a car should be about Thanks for the video ! And congratulations with your 10 k subscribers, well deserved !

a very honest option on a truly great new style jaguar XJ, its my nest car now for sure, have had the S type SE then the STR and now just recently the XF Portfolio, was really tempted on the XJ but failed to secure a low mileage one in time so opted for the XF and again a truly fine Jaguar with tons of torque, had it remapped and wax-oiled as live on the coast but its a super super drive,

I just love the design of this car and after watching your video I know I am going to change my 2014 XF next year which I have only had for a month lol , to be honest I was just nervous getting a XJ first because it seemed such a big car but after driving my XF I think I will be alright thank you for a great review of this XJL Jaguar

Thanks to this video I took the plunge and purchased a 2013 XJ 3.0D Portfolio, which I picked up yesterday. A 170 mile trip back from Sheffield to Buckinghamshire yesterday confirmed just what an epic car this is. Absolute luxury for very little outlay. Seriously undervalued cars. Considering an XF for my wife now (She wants a smaller car)!

I absolutely love it, but my dad would never purchase that because he prefers SUVs and because he used to love Jags but now he can't stand the indian ownership (Tata Motors bought Jaguar and Land Rover back in 2008)

@Peon Kelmendi Hi. Yes, it's great. I had the EGR valve cleaned, that was the only issue I've had (current mileage: 93,000 km, as I also own a 6 series coupé E63, LCI). The XJ/XJL is gorgeous, but that's luxury car territory, and it's not my thing.

Totally agree with you the XJ is contemporary, fresh and still looks stunning. The previous XJ was hanging on the coat tails of the series 1 XJ6. While a good looking car it’s image was too stuffy. I would easily choose an XJ over a 7 series or an A8 and to be honest none of them are a paragon of reliability

Love my 2010 Portfolio! I have had a few of the common issues after owning the car between 77 and 100k miles, intake manifolds are a biggie on the AJD-V6, before 2013 I believe they crack and cause restricted performance. Both replaced are around £1400, i've had the alternator fail too, but its a small price to pay for a car this good. Fit some Michelin Pilot Sport tyres and it is genuinely more chuckable down a B-road than my previous car, a 208GTi despite the 2+meter body extension!!

So after a few more days deciding what saloon to buy, went with a 2011 Jaguar XJ 3.0 LTR Diesel Premium Luxury. This video was the reason why. Was also pleased that the XJ got a huge thumbs up in you recent Q & A video. Nice one. Absolutely love the XJ. Serious power and feel great driving it. Found a Lunar Grey, one owner, 60,000 miles. Cambelt done!!!!

Would I consider buying a brand new XJ 350 if it were available? If it was updated with internet, semi auto drive, adaptive cruise etc then yes if it was under £30k. The shape and driving position, ride comfort is exactly what I want . The latest Jags are beautifull but the old XJ's were perfect !

Totally understand why Jaguar did it. It was the same when Jaguar replaced the E-Type with the XJS. Most Jaguar owners thought they'd walked into a horror movie, with the XJ's looks. Having driven a V12 XJS, I can tell you how fabulously quiet it is, and a stunning ride quality. Oh and the looks? The XJS looks wonderful. That XJ you're driving will improve with age. Like all Jaguars. 👍

All of them with similar low miles were in the same price range. The Jag just looks stunning inside and out!
