2006 Jaguar XJ Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Fantastic car, large, smooth and a dream to drive. If buying one, make sure you are looking at a car where you can see the vehicle’s maintenance records- VERY important! They aren’t inexpensive to fix and if you don’t go to a dealer, make sure you have a Jag experienced mechanic- they need to know these cars. Suspension issues are common and pricy, fortunately aftermarket options are available to bypass the original air suspension system, and actually give a better ride. Failing batteries can throw a host of error codes on the dash; the dreaded “warning lights”. Batteries are the brain of this car and you’d be surprised what a low battery will throw. Don’t skip on servicing, these cars are almost hand crafted and the maintenance is worth putting into these beauties. Reliability is high on maintained cars, —pass on one that wasn’t serviced. Nothing, and I do mean nothing drives like a Jaguar unless you move up to Rolls Royce or Bentley. Fabulous cars for their current values- a great bargain. Fit and finish is impeccable and the paint is crazy thick. Will always own a pre-2010 XJ

A marvelous piece of automotive style and grace. This Jaguar is a real eye catcher everywhere it is. All the comforts and conveniences are built into the Vanden Plas. Great gas mileage for its size and performance. No issues at 66K. I love my Jag ! Its a Beautifully designed automobile with such Class !!

Got the extended model-too long. Sometimes hard to park. Maintenance is expensive at the dealership. Small truck.
