Default Intro

Hello,

I joined this forum because I am considering a Jaguar as my next car. I'm intrested in the S type 4.2 or the XJ.

I will be doing as much research as I can.

My main concerns are the obvious. Reailbilty, weak spots, what should I be looking for in a PPI; etc......

Any information people can pass on in the way of advice or threads that I can review would be apperciated.


I currently drive a 2002 BMW 325CI Convertible. I love that car. I will be keeping it & garageing it during the winters.

Welcome to the forum! Both of the cars you're considering are good models; neither is perfect of course. I really like the X350 XJ8 and it was an awesome car to own and drive. The air suspension is its major fault imho. Check out the model forums for both cars and you'll learn a lot. Enjoy!
