- The 2014 Jaguar XJ L Portfolio review with 100k miles. This review will be an interesting look on the Jaguar XJ 100k miles later. I have previously driven a 2016 Jaguar XJ L also a Portfolio model with the 3.0l supercharged V6 engine. The Jaguar XJ is full size luxury sedan I quite like due to its nimble driving characteristics for its size.

My name issue
1
I've owned 3 Jaguars, a 1996 XJ6, 2006 XJL and now a 2011 XJL Supercharged and loved them all. I still own the 2011 XJL Supercharged.
All of them had the smoothest ride quality and the luxuriousness of the 2011 XJL Supercharged is second to none.
I've been in the BMW 750 and the large body Mercedes and they both didn't compare to the 2011 XJL Supercharged.
I can admit that repairs on these can get a bit pricey, however, if you find the right mechanic (outside of the dealer), it's worth it.
I feel and look like a million bucks (after taxes), when I'm behind the wheel....Jay Z wish he were me!!!
I have the 8 cylinder engine with the supercharger and it will flat out FLY!!!
I LOVE JAGUARS!!!!..ever since I was 14...49 now.
Thank you for sharing this!
750 is def a beast I do love it
I had the standard wheelbase 2011 SC with big XKR wheels. It was hot and the best car I have owned.
How much is "a bit pricey"?
@@jazzyalex2011 at the dealer, just with an oil change, tune up and brakes, they quoted me at $2,200.00...I purchased my parts and went to a great mechanic I know(ASE Certified Mechanic)that's works on European cars and imports and he did the job for 500.00 parts cost me just over 400.00
I've just bought a late 2012 3.0ltr supercharged XJ portfolio with only 16000 miles on it. It's a new car. I haven't taken delivery of it yet but on the test drive I was blown away. I have an XF and the difference is massive. Can't wait to have it delivered
careful with that one, i just seen one at my mechanic's with the 3.0 v6 supercharged and it had *OVERHEATED*
Great video, gorgeous Jag!!! That is my dream car!! I love the tons of wood that takes up half the door and swoops around the dash!!
Hey thanks so much and yes I appreciate this car as much as you do I love the big blocks of wood they put in there as well
Exhaust Sports Auto by far the best interior of any large Luxury Sedan. I have a 2008 Lexus LS460L, but I’m thinking about that gorgeous Jag!!!😍😍😍
Haha just make sure you get a warranty
Like your review. Just purchased a 2017 Portfolio with 7,400 miles. Great deal and loving it.
Massive congrats my friend!
Thanks again for another review. I also have a soft spot for soft-riding luxury sedans, and this is clearly the driver's car, whereas the S-Class and 7-series are the chauffeur's cars. I'm interested in more reviews of similar cars. I'll be waiting patiently for a W222 S-Class review to be uploaded.
That will be coming soon!
Love the channel, good to see someone from around Cary/Raleigh reviewing cars. Love Cary Imports, they do great business. Also, Go Pack!
Heck yea love seeing local viewers thanks so much for stopping by my friend! Honored to hear those kind words
The handling on this car is super. I recommend that everyone looking at a big luxo-barge take a look at the XJ SC.
That car is a beast!
The XJL, just like the Audi A7, Mercedes S class, and Lexus LS, is another one of those vehicles that announce loudly that you have made it in life. Probably the best preowned value as well, as far as premium luxury brands are concerned. Providing reliability holds up.
I def agree with you there my friend. This certainly does scream money but like always, I can’t stress enough the need for a warranty on these vehicles haha. Good thing is these have depreciated to the point where normal people can afford it even with a warranty
@@MeynMotorGroup
That's a very good point about the warranty. What did the Jaguar say to the Land Rover as it was leaving?
TaTa for now.
Lolol haha that’s a good one yea idk some say reliability has gone up some say it’s terrible idk what to believe.
@@MeynMotorGroup
I tend to put alot of faith in Consumer Reports when it comes to vehicle reliability. Especially the current rankings that shows Mazda 2nd only to Lexus. Yet they still can't get the sales numbers they deserve.
Really? I never trusted those guys or JD power I only rely on forums haha
The engine on my 2014 Jaguar XJL died at 126K miles. (all regular maintenance performed meticulously). The the dealership offered me a new engine for $25,000. I spent over $13,000 in repairs and maintenance in the three years I had this car. Now I have a 4100 pound paperweight in my driveway.
Yea they can be pricy to own out of warranty and does have its issue. I’ve owned one and loved it until the end but it did worry me often owning it and definitely was the best looking, most comfortable car though
What engine did your have 3.0 or V8 ?
25K for new engine? wtf
Was it the V6 or V8?
Trade it In for a Lexus LS, or a GS
Got mine 2 months ago. It is more than I expected!
Greetings from the U.K.! I’m in the market for an XJL and I found your video very helpful. Many thanks! Best of luck with your channel!
Great choice. I do like the XJ it looks classy and not common like its rivals
I agree Stevie looks so good no wonder they haven’t change the design yet
Love the XJ, I am picking one up tomorrow
“It fits large humans” and “peasant blockers” had me rollin’ great video my man
Glad you enjoyed my friend!
Great Review. I always liked the look of this vehicle.
I have a 2014 XJ L-version. Best Jag ever, lovely ride and handling. Like to see the new XJ electric in 2020.
Driving a electric jag would be like going for a Indian before you've had 5 beers..!!!
I’m sorry to tell you I just heard they are scrapping the xj sad don’t understand why but yeah sad day indeed
My dream car looking to buy one right now. Been looking for one for years!!!!
Just be sure to get a warranty!
Excellent video, thank you. I am in negotiations now for a 2014 XJL, my dream car, with 102k on the odometer. Was very hesitant on signing but this video has helped a great deal, thanks again.
Just be sure to get a bumper to bumper warranty!
Great review!
I have a 2011 xjl. Supercharged v8
87k miles. Everything works great!!
Love my JAG!!!!
How has your ownership been since posting this?
Hows the maintenance?
Great review brother! Keep up the great work!
I'm humbled sir thanks so much and keep up the great work on your end as well love to see your channel grow!
Exhaust Sports Auto Thanks brother, I need to learn a thing or two from you on doing reviews. You are great at them.
Haha I appreciate that but I would love to see more reviews on your channel as I really appreciate your perspective on cars it is mature and fair
How does this car with the supercharged v6 do on hills ? Does this thing climb fast when needed ?
Beautiful car. I have a 10 LS 460. Looks similar inside. A 10 year old car and Lexus is replacing my dash, glovebox door, leather console, trim around the whole dash and all four door panels for free. All because my drivers door is cracking on the arm rest. That's amazing to me. I'm now a lifetime Lexus fan. No other car company would think of doing that to a 10 year old car.
Yea I’ve heard of Lexus doing that for other people as well it truly is unheard of from a luxury car manufacturer to do that. Lexus has the best dealer experience by far. Speaking of lexus, I am posting the LS400 video today actually in half an hour or so haha. Thanks again for stopping by Mark
How were you able to get that my car door falling apart, the doors, glove box console etc. for a luxury car that to much.
@ mark Hoffman can you tell me how were you able to,get your car interior fixed mines,are falling apart
Lexus are really nice but man it's still a toyota
I mean don't get me wrong ther the best but man that jaguar just gorgeous 😍
I had a ls 460 2009, they hada recall on all the interior for Lexus and Toyota from 07 to 2012 the dashboard gets sticky and starts cracking up
what to look out for, engine wise, hows it compared to e60 530d for example ?
The 5 litre versions of these things gi through motors too often. I believe it's a timing chain fault that leads to motor jumping timing and components crashing into each other.
But man oh man, I do love these things. I have a 17 Fpace Rsport 25t, bought it new, has 60k kms on it, Canadian winters etc. Been very very reliable. Only fault it had was losing coolant, and that was a 1 day free fix. The cooler was leaking or something.
Honestly I see a few XJL portfolio 5L V8 cars on sale around my area. One has 200k kms on it, super mint condition but blown motor. Asking 5.5k.
It's so tempting to source a motor, swap it in & have a minty jag for less than 10k all in. Decisions.... decisions....... 🙈
I’ve test driven one of these -one thing that really bugged me was that the sun reflects of all that interior chrome and hits you in the eyes. Not sure if you noticed that .
Haha yea I did but that usually doesn't bother me but is a good point to bring up as it does bother a lot of people similar to the chrysler use of Chrome that also made a lot of people mad
Cant believe how gr8 this reviewer is.
Humbled by that!
Have you had to change the sway bar bushings yet?
Thanks for the video. I love the interior, but would prefer red or lighter leather and rich bright burl wood. Still stunning though... those curves.
Yes I know what you mean haha would really make the inside pop. Def still love this car very unique look to it. Thanks again my friend for stopping by!
THE 2011-13 XJL'S HAD THE LAPTOP TRAYS BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEATS, I MISS THOSE.
Mine has the trays and believe me, it adds to the mystique of the car.
Can’t wait to purchase my first Jaguar
Nice let me know when you get one. Don't leave that dealership without a warranty tho
Exhaust Sports Auto I will let you know
got mines last october. They do like a 100k warranty for CPO's
I have a 2004 XJR as my daily driver and I loved it. Ride quality, power and style of the car.
Nice I loved that car when I was growing up haha glad you’re still rocking it
Exhaust Sports Auto , 152k on the clock and still runs like a champ.
Sergio Ambrosino Jr any major issues? Thinking of buying a 2014 with 20k miles
Kraypee Mallari , as long as you get an extra warranty on it. They have cooling and AC problems. For the extra warranty I suggest you getting a quote from J&M. Take care and good luck.
I own a 2004 Jaguar XJ8. I love it. Even some of the gutsy Mercedes cars built from the late 90's-on that would get my eye, even if they're a little faster (like my dad's '03 E500), I have no regrets about choosing my Jaguar over any one of them. And 7-Series BMWs from 2002-on I've never cared for, good thing because I've heard too many of them are problematic. I've enjoyed sharing my experience with my Jag with views who had MBs that have had been nothing but problematic until they replaced them with a Lexus. Every one of them said that I basically should have my head re-examined for going to a Jag. It doesn't surprise me. But it somehow doesn't really bother me either. They've had good reliability from 2003-on, at least a majority of them including S-Types. I've talked to owners of them. To me, the Jags from the late 90's up to about 2009 have been about the only car that could ever replace any nice old '77-'85 mid-size Mercedes Diesel sedan, a different company from a different country (England). I wouldn't give an Indian co. like Ta Ta any credit for actually making the Jags any better. Just because they had ownership doesn't mean they had anything to do with Jaguar directly. Jaguar would still say "your not putting any of that sh** on our stuff" to whoever had ownership of them such as Ta Ta.
Great video man! I am looking at a 2017 XJ L Portfolio with 45k miles for 35k at CARMAX. I would go with the 5 year full warranty for 125k mile coverage. Definently better than the Volvo junk on the market with there poor engine and transmission performance and bottom of the barrel reliablility.
I'm sorry, I own a Volvo for 7 years now, a 2005 V70 5 cylinder diesel and it has never let me down, not once! By the way, I don't see the link between Volvo and Jaguar, completely different brands and completely different models of cars. Volvo does family estates and saloons while Jaguar does luxury sedans and large luxury sedans and luxury coupé's.
@@bobrock704 diesel is totally different from the world market that only have the gas engine.
Total MI6 there Kev!
Hello, I have a 2013 XJL Jaguar 3.0 AWD, Luna Grey (Maine). Let's get the negatives out of the way; My CD player cannot eject the disc. I have a low Coolant warning that is false. Now on to what I love about it, you're surrounded by leather and wood; When I see these new cars, there's a lot of plastic. Another thing, the 'Dynamic' mode really helps the car get up quickly, especially on ramps. Heating and cooling on all 4 seats. Also rare, there are very low numbers of Jaguars on the road in Maine, I take care of my car better than my Condo. Oil changes, interior cleaning, Car wash 3 times a month at least. I love my Jaguar. It's not appealing to everyone, but it reflects my personality well.
Maybe it likes the disc? 🤔🇬🇧
@@tompage6421 Its the Patriots season/road to the super bowl DVD.
Can anyone explain what a tune up on a vehicle is? I have owned Japanese vehicles for 24 years, all I did was engine,transmission. Brake, power steering oil changes, brake pad/rotor replacement, tire changes, and at around 120k spark plug replacement. I have owned 4 different Japanese vehicles.
Tune up is a term from the carburetor days
If only one could have this timeless beautiful design with, say, Lexus mechanicals ...
Oh that’s not happening 😂 well LC500 is amazing that’s my dream car
I have the 5.0 check 2011 closest thing to driving a cloud.smooth as silk
What’s the life span of this car higher than 200k miles?
The 5.0 ltr V8 Supercharged is the Model to Test Drive
Oh wow boy you done stepped it up
Lol check out my latest vid as well
@@MeynMotorGroup already on it
Looking nice.
just by 2016 xjl with 50k miles on it.
i’m audi guy as i have a6 3.0 before.
Reason i bought xjl is that it’s come with superchaged as i had before audi A6.
Like 👍 your review.
How is it bro realible and gas wise can you use regular? Or is it premium
@@ItsGoodieyeah it’s good luxury car without any doubt.it’s run with premium.
@@lovejeet751 is it realible long term?
@@ItsGoodie yes bro it is
and to be honest i love it
What type of issues have u seen with this car? I want one but im afraid of mechanic issues and maintenance.... i still want it
I've heard that it's $300 for and oil change, my sister was in the market to buy a new car and she loved the Jag and was about to purchase, when the dealer told her the maintenance was very expensive. So she went with the Acura Sport.
Thanks for your opinion
I have a 2011 XJL with 77K miles....runs nicely, excellent shape...Supercharger seems to be making a slight clicking/clacking noise...would it be ok to add 1 quart Marvel Mystery Oil to crankcase tp quiet it...thanks!
You should see what the REAL issue is before using additives. That is why Superchargers are crap, they always have issues. See what the real issue is or just replace it, or if you dont want to spend the money buy a repair kit for it. Its usually the pulley that creates that issue you are talking about.
@@jensz9360 thanks for the information....
Don't be fooled Guys , even in best case scenario these are still very expensive to maintain even if you're doing the work yourself.... due to plastic coolant system parts there is no way in hell you're getting to 100k without doing the Coolant outlet pipes , water pump , thermostat and rear coolant manifold...(requires removal of supercharger) . Upper timing covers are prone to leaking, headliners sag, rubber buttons get really, sticky both engine mounts and trans mount go bad and leak. Hard resets are your best friend for odd interior electrical issues. Not a good vehicle for first time DIY mechanics,
Beautiful when found in great condition but could very easily be a nightmare on a budget.. Good luck! 🤘
You seem to know a lot about these cars. Do or did you work on them?
Helpful to know. Gorgeous cars for sure.
Jaguar Land Rover dealership tech for 5 years I just moved over too Audi actually 🙃
Is it expensive to maintain
It is Stunning and unique!❤
Is there zf gearbox ?
Dealer near me has a 2011 XJ with 41k miles 1 previous owner for 19k… tempting
Where so I can coop it lol
Another solid review. 👍
Thank you so much I’m humbled by your support!
What’s the Maintenance like ? Very expensive or middle of the pack ?
Quite expensive
What's your opinion on the overall quality levels after the marque was bought over by TATA motors?
I feel like it’s certainly better like it won’t leave you stranded on the side of the road but def not a Lexus by any means I would still consider a warranty heavily as maintenance and cost of owning it is still high
@@MeynMotorGroup all right...thanks for the valuable info.
How many miles will these last ?
Would you buy this XJL or the LS460 that you recently reviewed, and why?
Pretty much every European car handles better than a Lexus. Lexus is just super reliable, comfortable and ages well. This has been the nature of cars since the turn of the millennium
Yea but some people value life and that’s worth more than money because this isn’t PlayStation 2 there are no reset buttons. People want to experience these vehicles and I don’t blame them more to life and cars than just Lexus
When I purchased my last car one of the cars I test drove was the XJL and LS460. The “smart” money would buy the LS460 because (generally) it being less expensive to fix if there’s any issues, and Lexus are known to be more reliable than most luxury cars. BUT, the Jag just feels special when I’m driving it. So, I got the Jag.
And I respect that enjoy it my friend
@@Chedda3000music and how are you liking the XJL? any maintenance issues?
Awww, I was hoping it'd be a V8. I'm still looking around for a 15-16 XJ; not sure if I want to go with the L. What are the worst problems that owners have had with this model?
Yea I was too lol but is what it is this might be a bit better on fuel. I would def suggest looking at Jaguar Forums. The forums in general is a great resource for reliability and maintenance stuff
There's not many major issues particularly with the V8. Although it does have a water pump failure issue. Check it's been changed. The other thing to note is the sunroof tends to make a popping noise over bumps. Check the car your interested in doesn't suffer from this
okay bro tell me im really intrested. this ? ls460? or 750i? i wont ask for the 2007-2013 sclass the interior is disgusting
get the Jgaur lmao, and i 100% agree about the Benz being ugly. I honestly never understood what people see about Benz Lmao
One of my neighbors has a pearl white one and it looks amazing. How do you think it compares to an Audi S7 or S8.
I drove the A7 I thought it was a more refined vehicle but not as dynamic. I also drove the S4 Audi and same deal I really like how they feel on the road for sure but the lightness of this Jag for a large car was a cool feel. Would like to feature more Audi’s on the channel tho!
I live in Kansas City, MO and never see an XJ on the road. They don’t seem to sell here like the 7 Series & S-Class, and we have a Jag dealer. 🤷♂️
Yea not many people care for Jags they are the forgotten luxury car. Granted it’s kind of a strange machine, it’s like the “drivers” luxury car it lacks many features which doesn’t bother me but 7 series is the second “drivers” luxury car but actually has a lot of features perhaps that’s why people love it I guess
Because the ones that were purchased are likely in the shop for repairs, you have a Jag dealer there because they likely make 70%+ of their money at the service bay.
LS460 2013-2017 or Jaguar XJ? Which one would you choose?
Lexus all the way for quality and reliability
Nice glad you found the vid 😆
I would choose 2018 Jaguar XJ for 2 reasons (1) One of the best audio system and internal acoustics in the entire car industry. Meridian is a DAC -digital to analog concerter- manufacturer. The sound quality in this car is amazing - better than Burmester, Mark Levinson or Bose. (2) XJ's 8 speed transmission has I think one of the best gear ratios. It revs at 1900 rpm when cruising at 90 mph. Because of this reason, gas milage is pretty impressive at high speeds.
@@gunesinan814 I was going to buy a Jag XJ a couple of years ago but they have alot of reliability issues. I am just too busy to keep going to the service department all the time. They are beautiful cars but I need quality as well.
0..10...30...50...70
What kind of gentleman out that in there?
A British Leyland ex-worker?
Jokes aside I really wanted a XJR when I was 15. Still hot
Haha you know they gotta make everything a bit extra just because. Yea I know my friend I loved Jags growing up unique and different
Hi everyone, i'm in need of help. I own a Jaguar XJ 2010 (X351 new model), i've made many repairs and maintenance on it, normal maintenance and used parts changed, but i still have a suspension fault alarm remaining.
It occure when the car is cold by coming and disappearing time to time, but after 30 min driving this fault never show up again.
I controled the height between the ground and the body in the axe of the wheel, on both rear wheels, i get 73.7cm on the left one, and 74.5cm on the right one (when the car is cold).
Does anyone know what is the cause? I fear to go to the Jaguar dealer because i know they're insanely pricey.
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my english^^
Its a crappy computer glitch, unless you are experiencing actual handling issues I would just ignore the fault. A lot of the times they are just false alarms, but have someone who specializes in Jags check it out just to make sure if you are concerned. Realistically though you could end up replacing a bunch of stuff and still have fault alarm.
@@jensz9360 i've booked an appointment with my Jag dealer on next 17th June, for a check up.
Depending of the eventual fault codes, I'll do the repair with my favourite garage (lot cheaper and professional), or I'll drive with the fault alarm.
Plus, I have to do my next oil changes in 2500km, it would be the occasion to proceed repairs.
@@Mr800vfr I agree, only fools go to the Stealership. The fact is independent shops have better level of service and they get to know your vehicle through servicing, dealerships dont care and you are just a number. I NEVER take mine to dealership unless warranty work or recall, other than that its independent specialists because they tend to know more as well.
THE ONLY ISSUE FOR ME IS RELIABILITY THAT'S WHY I STICK TO LEXUS. BUT IN TERMS OF LOOK AND SMOOTHNESS JAG IS UP THERE WITH THE BEST.
Lexus or Infiniti for reliability
My Lexus quit my xjl still rolling no issues
Surprisingly doesn't have reclining rear seats, for a portfolio model.
It actually doesn’t have many options for a full size luxury car haha really a driving machine lol which is a bit perplexing
"Big body driving utensil"... is how I'm going to refer to my soup spoons from now on.
Dope review, nice looking car but I'll be really concerned about the sticky buttons, and these cars are notorious for being unreliable, but I love your reviews👍
Haha thanks so much my friend and yea I believe you can get them recoated not sure how much that costs tho but thanks again for watching!
The X351 XJ really isn't notorious for being unreliable. It's actually pretty reliable compared to other JLR products
Jaguar XJ was engineered at Whitley Coventry by a dedicated Jag team before we all moved over to JLR Gaydon.. It may well have been the last pure Jag even. I engineered the hood.
I am glad you said that .crazy enough I found that women’s face wipes like the nox wipes works
I think the 2015 models onwards had different switchgear and the button coatings issue was solved. It’s not a problem unique to the Jaguar though I’ve heard the same problem on some BMW models that used the same coating. Reliability wise they are pretty good as long as they are looked after. There was an odd problem with the sunroof guides rusting, which was also solved on the 2015 cars. The metalwork is now covered by a nylon coating. Stops the guides from rubbing away the paint and exposing bare metal underneath.
I owned one, it was a great car bit the down side is maintenance issues.
Yea but only live once I suppose haha glad you got to experience one
Any suggestions for a good warranty company?
The best would be Jaguar CPO vehicles but I had great luck with the Hendrick AutoGuard Platinum Warranty
Very nice car... my only issue is that wood, it looks too much like the fake wood paneling from the 70’s! If it had some nice light wood there to contrast the black I think the interior would really pop.
Haha most of the “real” wood always looks fake to me because of their high glass finish thanks for stopping by sir!
If a car manufacturer uses fake veneer, then every car of that model will be identical.
With Jaguar, just look at any two cars and you will never see the same veneer as each car interior is a matched set for that car. You cannot get identical veneers from car to car with the real veneer like you can with fake veneer.
Most luxury cars with veneers have a gloss finish, customers prefer it.i@@MeynMotorGroup
I really don't know, are you showing the car? Or your face?
this car actually made it to a hundred thousand miles without something catastrophically expensive happening to it?!
Idk lol maybe something expensive happened but I wouldn't know not my car. I would only suggest getting this with a warranty and thankfully thr person who bought this did get a warranty
Till this day I want this car !
Me too, but people won’t cut them loose. And I don’t blame them. 🤨
@Daylin821 I have seen some on offer up for a good price and soon as I can get the money I will get this car ..
@@Daylin821 I have one that I bought new in 2017 it has 56k miles on it now and I'll never sell it. perfect reliability, 5k oil changes, fluid changes every 30k, its flawless and still turns heads
@@jimmycole “I’ll never sell it” hence my point. I don’t blame you, but people like us who want one is shit out of luck or setting for an issue XJL.
If you are doing a review of the car "100k later" then we really want to know how the car has stood up to being driven for 100k. Does it all work, does it feel worn? How is is say compared to an E Class after the same miles. You are just doing a new car review for an old car, we know how big the car is and what it had when new.
The problem is you people don't watch the whole thing so you don't get to the parts where I talk about how it held up
@@MeynMotorGroup The only thing you say about how it held up is "it has aged a lot better than expected" right at the end, that is it! no examples and not a word about the condition of the car having been driven for 90k miles. I do admit I did not watch the whole thing, managed 3 mins and then tried to skip through you going on about how long the car is and all the spec of the car, and tried to find where you talk about the condition. Fact is you don't. It is a pointless review as we can look at dozens from when the car was new already. We came to see how it is after some use!
How much is one of these cars now? Im in the market for one..
Just look at cargurus
20-30k typically
Supercharged 5.0 over here 2011 ,with 35,k Driving it in 2021 and every1 thinks it’s brand new engine is barely broken in . I also can smoke 98% of cars on the road . M4 stock even bye bye .
Jaguars are one of the best cars ever
Yea broskie.. does the top lift off.
He said peasant blockers 🤣🤣
lol Shout out to the straightpipes
😍😍
Thanks for watching!
Just purchased a used 120k XJL one owner every service stamp.. £8450... best purchase I've ever made in my life
Nice massive congrats my friend. Enjoy that ride for sure
Is it reliable?
How is the reliability after 2 years?
What is the transmission of this?
A 6-Speed Automatic transmission, no Manual transmission was available with this car.
@@NatureWheelsandHauls oh just a regular aisin transmission?
Dont buy a car you dont have the money to fix because warranties are ripoff and if they decide they arent covering something you're still screwed
Ehh I don’t think so I had a modded Acura TSX and the warranty paid out on all repairs it has to be a maintenance item for them to not pay out
@@MeynMotorGroup you’re talking about an Acura compared to a Jaguars repair quote
Is this less expensive to maintain than the Germans?
It is a real bargain to buy! As for maintenance, I don't really think It's cheap, but at the same time nowhere near as expensive as a Porsche or a BMW 750Li!! I sincerely hope to buy it one day
Great review! Can you compare this with Mercedes W222 S550 ?
I will actually be reviewing that car soon!
No you cant , not the same class
Or compare W221 with W2222.
I was going to do the W222 but it actually malfunctioned haha
@@MeynMotorGroup It needs Carmax buper-to-bumper warranty.
Manual peasant blockers 😔
Lolololol yup they are manual and I guess the biggest tragedy is no electric one for the rear windshield
this or audi A8 ?
I like driving this more than the A8 but get a warranty with either
best handling big car bar none
Agreed!
And the worst comfort big car i think, my 5.0L v8 is so hard, when road is bumpy this jag feels so cheap, but on good road, this jag like a dream.
Who the hell "polished" that car??? They should never detail cars again
Their detailers are pretty good tho they do a good job cleaning I feel like they got it a bit rough as it does have over 91k miles
I agree
It bite rough means don’t waste your time buying a used Jaguar.
@@brianmcghee3597 envy is a shitty feeling, isn't it?
To be completely honest I have owed 2 Jaguar in my life. Why would you waste your time and and money on a brand who is still searching for an identity. Probably won’t be around in 5 years.
I own a UK xjl supersport with the VIP tune.. 651 bhp.. Enough said..
Damn that is sweet. Holding up good?

I guess I've done maybe 7k miles with the tune.. I've never thrashed it say on a track but from time to time I have my balls out fun.. Touch wood it's never missed a beat.. Its around 64k miles in total now.. With my budget there is nothing out there that comes remotely close in terms of sheer grunt and top draw luxury.. This one is a keeper :)
That’s incredible so glad to hear it. No need for a track really enjoy crushing the rest of the pedestrians with all that power 😂 I’ve heard Jaguar V8s can take a lot of power and that their standard 550 is actually a low rating for it. Def a lot of grunt and very unique feel compared to German rivals. Thanks for stopping by my friend
What does the vip tune include to pump the power up?
@@stewarthumphreys8960 any issues?
Is it reliable?
The newer jags are fairly reliable. Obviously not like a Toyota but they are pretty reliable and look much better than a Toyota
@@josephmeyer295 of course
No
Don't forget the Audi 8L
Go Pack!
BOND.... JAMES BOND 😎
Haha yup
Is the insurance expensive?
Costs me 670
I had an 03 S Type V8 it was one of the best cars I have ever owned. It never gave me any problems at all. At 15 year's old and 157k miles I sold it and bought a 2012 XF Supercharged V8 Portfolio Edition. It was the worst car I've ever had! I spent thousands of dollars for repairs on the car. Water pump, fuel pump twice, $2,000+ for a computer and then at 84k miles it blew a head gasket. I wouldn't have or recommend a Jaguar to any one! The new "Piano Black" interior is Tatas fancy word for Cheap Plastic! Tata has cheapened out on all the quality parts. They have become nothing more than a Tata in Jag drag!
Avoid Jaguar like the Plague! It will kill your bank account quickly!
You've simply bought an unfortunate model!! This XJ is very reliable
👌🏾🔥💎Great videos! You Need to drive a Jag with a V8 supercharger! Hey PLEASE test a Jaguar XFR 2012 or 2013 fast lift model or even the 2010-11 XFR. ALL years have the 510 HP (550 for the XFR-S same engine different tune) 0-60 in 4.2 seconds can run up to 189 mph with this engine out the box(limited at 155 )…
With a simple KN air filter(NOT INTAKE just filter), ECU tune, TCU tune and pulley upgrade it’s a 630-650 HP car..! And you’re blasting 0-60 in the 3.7 seconds range & the 1/4 mile in 11.6 seconds or better!
The 2010-2012 have the ZF 6 speed auto transmission and the 2013 and up have the 8 speed ZF auto transmission. Both are amazing…
If you can’t find the XFR at least test a V8 supercharged XJ. I’ve seen the v6 test and it’s a totally different beast with the 8cyl..! It has the same engine and similar times the XFR is a bit better in handling because of the size…
They’re just so hard to find
@@MeynMotorGroup Edited it to add the XFR too… I’ll let you known when there’s one in your area and maybe you can do a review of it… great work!
How is the reliability on this car?
Warranty that’s all I can say
@@MeynMotorGroup Thank you
