The XJ is the only modern Jaguar I'd truly consider owning since my introduction of it on Top Gear racing across Britain. It was a sight to behold 😻 I'd pull a Cannonball with it here in the states if it would survive 😼

@drunksupportcharacter Год назад

Honestly what you describe is just so familiar to my XE S, had the V6 and i would casually get 40MPG consistently as the engine would stick at 650 RPM crusing and i just wouldnt use the power, I was even 27 when i got mine and it was a similar story, ex staff owned it AFAIK I just love this generation of jags, These days i just feel "if something went wrong though" they are a reliable car overall, but it does require attention like a luxury car of course, and overall i just want less tech, to the point where im considering getting another one, just to have a specialist strip all the gadgets down and it not be fussed that its missing 80% of the features that it comes with as standard ha.

@A-world-of-My-Own Год назад

100% great cars but with too much crap.( I own 4 of them)

@drunksupportcharacter Год назад

@@CandyMan2001 Funny story there as when i had the XE S i was sold on that more than the RCF that i was looking at they were about the same price at the time but whilst the engine was lovely, it didnt feel as good as i expected it to, mind you the XE S i got was one where the previous owner ticked all the options except privacy glass and the heated steering wheel and i found that fantastic. Personally im still looking at the oddity of the RC 200t as i eye it up as "not so fast luxury coupe" i have the feeling there is a lot more to that car, and its not the easiest car to source a decent one for a price im willing to pay.

@jgtemperton Год назад

U had a 16 reg XE S. Nice car in pillar box red with black pack. Bit small though, especially in the back seat. Prefer the XF. Had a 13 reg Diesel S Portfolio. Very nice thing and recently sold a 17 reg Premium Luxury XJ. Before jumping into an F Type Dynamic 340 over the Christmas period. In a Cooper Works Mini at the mo. Funky little thing and pretty fun quick car.

@-A-lm5xb Год назад

@@A-world-of-My-Own Trouble is it's what sells cars, so you can't really have a luxury brand that doesn't have the gadgets in that you'd find as standard in the average Nissan or Kia. Most of the complaints in the reviews of the XF seemed to be that the interior was dated, and that was mostly aimed at the infotainment system. I'm not a fan of the newer design trend of a large touchscreen that looks as though it's been stuck on as an afterthought, I loved the earlier XF because it was built into the dash, but the latest one has the "floating" screen to accommodate the size of it. Just spoils the whole dash for me.

@zach4384 Год назад

Ian fixed everything with the Jaguar XF estate. Similar space as the standard wheelbase. More cargo apace. Immensely better styling. A decade ago the X-type estate could be had for peanuts. The estate now five years old is holding its value better than anything in JLR's line up, including F-types, at least in the states.

@AaronRandolphChen Год назад

Personally, I love the styling of the XJ even from the back. Nothing else in this class, has such beautiful lines. Hated the blacked out C-pillar when it was launched, and still think the air vents look like gargoyles in the dashboard, but apart from those minute details, I love the XJ.

@-A-lm5xb Год назад

I agree on the vents, they're a bit in your face and I think they're the only thing that lets the styling down a little. I much prefer the revolving vents on the XF.

@arkhsm 11 месяцев назад

@davidhills3100 Год назад

I had the good fortune to own a Supersport for a while, and it was simply epic. Better-equipped than the R, slightly more pliant ride, slightly more subtle appearance. The looks grew on me more and more over time. Every journey was an occasion and the engine was perfectly happy either cruising gently or ripping your face off. We took it on a tour to Scotland and it was fabulous both at eating distances and blasting down twisty roads with the astonishing engine at full roar. I can confirm getting solidly into the 30s mpg on a long run, or about 5mpg in traffic. Don't sit in traffic. I think this car is a classic and I miss mine every day.

@felipefernandezlomas6770 Год назад

Spectacular review there. A few years ago I almost bought a Merc E-Class because - on paper - it seemed like the best on the Market. However, I felt that I'd always be looking over at a Jag with envy every time one pulled up next to me. Several years on and I'm on my third Jag. No regrets

@sanatandharma4435 Год назад

I went to a JLR dealer in Preston a few years a go with my brother who owned a XF, he went to get it serviced. I love Range Rovers so happily sat in them on the showroom floor and unfortunately was not impressed at all. So, I walked through the glass doors to the Jaguar showroom and looked at this beautiful car called the XJ! I got in and settled into the most comfortable, well fitting machine and fell in love. I did not want to get out! My brother came looking for me and I was in dream mode in 'my' XJ. It was beautiful! It is beautiful and I went off Range Rovers there and then.

@michaelandrews3251 Год назад

Did you buy one ?

@stevp372 Год назад

Funny how a similar thing happened with me. Visited the JLR dealership with a family member to see about the possibility of buying a RR Sport but we both walked out loving the XJR575. Beautiful looking machine, incredibly comfortable and a crazy amount of power for a 4 door saloon at the time. They looked so much cooler than the german counterparts.

@gaborozorai3714 Год назад

That rear and the size makes it, for me, the only modern Jag that is imposing. Was very sorry to see the old XJ design gone for good but this has grown on me. The smaller saloons' rears are sort of generic looking.

@-A-lm5xb Год назад

Don't really agree with that, the rear on the XF (certainly on the earlier models) is a little reminiscent of the Aston Martin DB range. Completely different to the BMWs, Audis, Alfas, and many more that are almost indistinguishable apart from the badge.

@pegcity4eva Год назад

I wish they just made an updated previous gen one. These always looked weird imo.

@maz500 Год назад

I prefer the back from the front. But overall gorgeous. I recall Clarksons race against the sunrise on top gear as my personal favourite memory closely followed by the "yes, but is it a proper jaaaag" that made jaaaags even cooler. Shame jaaag never seemed to realise that could be used as a selling point and have lost their way for me now.

@chrisaris8756 Год назад

Tragedy they stopped making this beautiful car. I owned and XF for years and loved it. Totally reliable. Wanted to buy the XJ but they had stopped making them. So bought an F Pace SVR instead. What a machine same engine 550bhp 700nm of torque and really butch looks. So Jag haven’t quite lost it yet! So glad that useless French CEO has gone. They need a proper CEO with a handle bar moustache, that used to fly Spitfires to make them properly Jag again! Oh yes and put a real engine in that ipace.

@drumnbass8 Год назад

If I remember correctly on the air suspension there were two options - comfort and sports. I believe you could option either across the range so the car you briefly owned could have had the sports setup, and this one tested could have been optioned with comfort air suspension.

@jameshogg601 Год назад

Reliability issues are hugely overexaggerated. Ford did a great job of ensuring reliability since they stepped in. I own an XJ308 which I have driven for 250K now. Including previous owners, it is now well above 400K. And sure, it needs taking good care of, but so would a Mercedes or BMW of this age and maturity. And neither of these cars makes you forget you are in a car. An XJ makes you feel like you would with a friend.

Have an XFR with a pulley and map which makes a bit more power than this XJR! It's a phenomenal powertrain for sure. Absolute joy to drive, and a pleasure to sit in. But despite being one of the more reliable jags, there are still a plethora of issues that can cost you a couple of grand at any point, which along with the tax and fuel cost doesn't make for a comforting ownership experience.

I just bought an 2014 last year with only 39,100 miles on it, all I love it. A very beautiful car, from the front to the back! I love that it's a smooth driving car, but can be a violent and aggressive car otherwise! It's a shame they stop making this flagship!

Red leather interior (I wonder what fool thought that was a good idea)

Loved the content, loved the JAAAGGG… BUT HAVE TO SAY, as a man who has loved the mark throughout my 50+ years…..a black Jag with full Black leather interior is the most spine tingling awesome JAAAAAAGGGGGG ever…throughout the history of Jaguar, any mark! But according to this chap, never by a black Jag wit full black interior…..a Jag with…shall we say…Lady of the Nights red Panties interior….is far superior…… Couldn’t possibly disagree more…absolute TOSH my friend!!!

This video most certainly caught my eye today. I was at work when it popped up. So having got back home, KFC in hand I sat down to watch your video. So thanks to this video in particular, the older I get, the more a Jaguar catches my attention. I was also lucky when I was much younger. I got the chance to drive my dad’s Jaguar’s. Both 4.2 Jaguar XJ’s. So I do remember how those felt. Even at speed that were like a red carpet. Anyway, great video. I’m looking on eBay & Autotrader now 😉

Loved the XJR575. I've had thoughts about buying a grey XJR and having satin PPF applied to give that matte grey finish of the 575.

I had a X350 which I loved. I believe that was the last of the 'proper' Jags, they have to have walnut in abundance for me. My love of Jaguars died through it's woeful dealer network. I moved on to Lexus who were night and day above Jaguar in their treatment of customers. I never knew about this facelift model, it does look better, but still not my taste. Great video.

There's a massive network of Jag specialists that have the best customer care I've experienced, and I used to own a Lexus and had it main dealer serviced.

Lexus is wonderful but soulless. Jaguar shines in the character & passion department ...

"But I must be getting old because I think it actually looks a little bit better in wood" Hahaahah Fantastic :) This Jaguar is a Fantastic place to be and is the best XJ ever!

@MrFlazz99 Год назад

I disagree on the styling front - yes, it's very different from The Jaguar Look of every previous XJ variant, but this is really what they SHOULD have brought out when replacing the X300, rather than the pig-in-the-middle X350 that was on one hand 'A Jaaaag' and on the other hand high-tech-aluminium, but which failed to utilize the cache of the lightweight construction precisely because it looked like 'A Jaaaag'. I almost get the feeling that JLR product planners were on the wrong drug regime when developing the X350 and then the X250. The former had the cutting-edge construction but not the looks, the latter had the looks but was just an X200 under the skin. The X351 at least helped put that right. If I wanted a huge luxo-barge (and if I could fit a 5-metre-plus car in my garage), I'd have one.
