1995 Jaguar XJR Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Nevertheless, the XJR is an invigorating, exhilarating automobile. FIT AND FINISH No other car smells quite like a Jaguar. The pungent aroma and sculpted beauty of the XJR's leather seats are nothing less than intoxicating. Infact, it is that wonderful leather upholstery and the gorgeous wood interior that assuage your displeasure with XJR's numerous interior shortcomings: - There is a small panel behind the steering wheel that houses the lights and cruise control. Reaching many of the buttons on this panel is akin to making your way through an obstacle course. - Headroom is not particularly... |

A forward collision alert system and advanced emergency brake assist is included with the optional adaptive cruise control In Edmunds brake testing, an XJL with the standard 19-inch wheels and all-season tires stopped from 60 mph in a rather pedestrian 125 feet. An XJL Supercharged with performance tires, however, stopped from 60 mph in an exceptional 106 feet. Interior Design and Special Features: The Jaguar XJ's interior is exquisite. Not only is the design... |

2011 Jaguar XJL — Flash DriveSource: MSN Autos...along with the fine luxury materials and attention to detail expected from a Jaguar; you'll even find picnic trays for rear-seat passengers. The XJL offers the owner the choice between being chauffeured in the lap of luxury or taking the wheel of an excellent sport sedan. – Mike MeredithThis new Jaguar is easily one of the most elegant cars on the road; however, it is quite a departure from the classic Jag styling. The XJ is very large — especially the "L" that we drove — but its proportions look perfect. Inside, it's like driving in your den. Beautiful wood trim wraps around the entire... |

1993 Jaguar XJS Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Tea is taken at Fortnum & Mason. The XJS coupe contains two perfectly upholstered and miniaturized rear seats. They are useless for anything that can't be folded, squashed or tossed. There is no surplus front head room in the coupe for those 6 feet tall and beyond. It also is time Jaguar redesi gned the heft of its automatic shifter. A little more girth, weight and grip would lessen its feel as a T-handled chopstick. Although Jaguar sales remain a crapshoot, recent numbers show significant improvements. In December, 1991, Jaguar sold only 693 cars in the United States. Last December, the... |

1990 Jaguar XJ6 Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...With an avoirdupois of two tons (and no manual transmission to guarantee a polished balancing act), it certainly is a mite too heavy to be slinging around wet macadam. If pushed in tight corners, of course, the Jaguar will deliver, and with as much response and delicacy as any other middleweight. Its metier, however, is rapid touring amid the quiet comfort of a factory-made car that carries the heft of a hand-built one. And it is rapid touring. From breakfast until teatime, the Jaguar will cruise happily at 110 m.p.h. We became a little zealous on one stretch of the broad and dry M4 to London... |

1994 Jaguar XJS Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The four-wheel power-assisted disc brakes are the best I can remember on a Jaguar. Touch the pedal and they bite hard, slowing the car quickly and without fuss. FIT AND FINISH I have no complaints with the way the XJS is assembled. Parts are fitted much better by Jaguar than they used to be. However, there are areas where the XJS is really showing its advanced age. The XJS, in production since 1975, has been improved over the years, but the overall design of the interior still feels as if it belongs in the mid-70s, not the mid-90s. Ergonomically, the XJS is something of a mess. You can get... |

1996 Jaguar XJ12 Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...There are some other touches connected to the new construction, such as longer rear doors, which provide significantly improved access to the back seat. Then, there is an item that all luxury car makers would do well to examine. An electric switch allows rear passengers to adjust the position of the front passenger seat. (Assuming, of course, that the front-seat occupant doesn't object.) The control switches are located on the inboard side of the front passenger seat back. It almost goes without saying that the tradit ional Jaguar amenities are included in the long-wheelbase sedans. Natural... |
