Jaguar XJR 4.2 V8

Dark grey 2003 XJR

The performance of this car is truly staggering and ride and comfort is beyond compare. The air suspension gives a very good ride. Fuel consumption for such a big car is very good and get around 26mpg although this drops to 21mpg in town. Driving position is very good and my 6'6" frame easily fits.

Unfortunately this has been let down by less than acceptable reliability. I have had to replace the air suspension compressor, sat nav module, heater matrix and the fuse box in the boot.

Bills are not for the faint hearted (tyres are £250 each) but this is compensated by a very practical supercar.

I would recommend this car to anyone and gives me a very big smile whenever I drive it.

The car is truly amazing, having just purchased a 54 plate LWB 4.2 V8 Super, it is like stepping into a limo, gadgets galore, sublime class! Having owned German marques before it makes them feel like bland tappy tappy plastic boxes, Tupperware springs to mind! If you want sheer opulent head turning looks on an A-list celeb level then look no further. Performance is uncomparable.

Its a Jag, a head turner and totally different to the other prestige makes. It looks like a Jag, should not and cannot be mistaken for a eurobox like many of the Europeans.

If have the mind of an accountant or lawyer you will find much to quibble with - this car is about genius - not button counting.

Buy one, go one, buy one now - don't bother about the Mercs and Beemers - its go- Cat Go.

You will not be disappointed. I mean, electric leather headrests - what more could you want !!!!!!
