"This is a great car. Runs well. I have had no problems or issues with this year/model car. The breaks do squeek sometimes, which can be embarassing but no other problems. I love the body style and color. This car was manufactured in the U.K. Very smooth, comfortable ride!"

Contrary To Popular Belief....

By Uncle Al (IL) on Sunday, April 21, 2013

"This car has been VERY reliable. I had two (2) issues with it shortly after I purchased the car in 2006. Both were promptly fixed under warranty while I was given a loaner. Since then, I have had 5 years of driving with only routine oil & filter changes. I have NEVER had a car that handles so well! When you put this car in a corner, it STAYS where you put it. The "standard" 300hp V-8 is more than enough motor to get this substantial vehicle up & rolling. I know this will be a tough one to believe, but my mileage has been better than the 18/27 that was advertised on the window sticker. Granted, I live quasi-rural, so my city driving is not typically what they call city. On the other hand, I have driven the car twice to Florida & back and both times my mileage using cruise control was right at 30 mpg. And I set the cruise for about 7 mph over the limit, as they usually give you 10, especially when you do look like an "old man's " luxury vehicle."

Favorite Toy!

"Wonderful vehicle! I purchased my 05 Super 8 in 2010 and have put roughly $1500 in the vehicle which included $900 tires. This vehicle has given me NO PROBLEMS AT ALL! If you are able to find one - PURCHASE IT! 400HP..it will outrun just about anything on the street. It has every luxury..EXCEPT Satellite radio. I have owned every luxury vehicle produced and I will never speak other than KUDOS ON THIS ONE!"

Wonderful car, a dream to drive, & luxurious ride

By MAK (WA) on Friday, January 18, 2013

"I have owned this car since it was just a couple of months old, so avoided the extra cost for being the first one to drive it off the car lot. It now has 47,000 miles on it and has had no problems other than simple maintenance. It's beautiful and eye catching; garnering more than it's fair share of admiring comments. The mileage is outstanding for a car of it's size... 32mpg on the freeway 20+ in town. Performance is exceptional. Easy to park and very comfortable for long or short trips. This car has been a joy to own."

"Cool ride!"

By Margi (MO) on Friday, January 04, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 100,000

Pros: "Gas mileage and fun to drive"

Cons: "Not enough cup holders"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Like most foreign cars this one isn't designed for Americans who need coffee cups and water bottles in easy reaching distance all at the same time. But other than that the car is a treat. Great performance. Reliable. And the best gas mileage we've had on a car since I drove my 1960 Morris Minor. It is the only car our 6'8" son in law can ride in without bending his head. At 100,000 miles it's time to trade it in but I don't want to lose the comfort and reliability I have come to enjoy. All that and the young men at McDonalds still say "Cool ride!" When I drive through."

"Electrical gremlins and air ride suspension problems VERY COSTLY! Transmission fluid is supposed to be life long...IT ISN'T and it's also costly to change 'cuz it needs to be replaced with a new pan and fluid has to be a certain temp. I has a Jag rep tell me it isn;t designed for an everyday driver.....really?"
