    310,000 miles. That’s incredible. And the condition of the car is fantastic. It’s a testament to the quality of the engines and engineering of the Jaguar. Who said JLR products don’t last!

      To be fair, having worked in the motor trade for many years, I could say from experience that I have seen 10 times the amount of high mileage BMW's than I have Jaguars.
      Much rather have a 7 series BMW than one of these, as I like sitting in a modern quality interior, and not a 1970's drinks cabinet.
      German cars in this sector DO have a high quality interior, I think you're confusing 'quality' with 'chintzy', as that is how I have always experienced Jags.

      @@DjNikGnashers BMW isn’t Chintzy? Have you seen the new 7 series with its folding down cinema screen, crystal dashboard & door trims and gigantic beaver tooth grill and split headlights? That car has absolutely zero class whatsoever, screams ‘look at me, I’m a Chinese businessman’.
      I would say the G11 is the last classy 7 series. The interior although a bit boring to look at, was well put together and overall the car is rather handsome. Shame BMW have lost their way completely.

      ​@@TJW04 Yes the new XM is a disgusting piece of crap.
      Some of the newer BMW's are starting to get horrible styling I agree.
      The normal level 5 and 3 series are still very solid and decent inside and out.
      My main point was reliability, as the OP somehow thinks the brand which finished in the bottom 3 or ALL brands on every reliability survey of the past 10 years, is now somehow reliable just because he had one lucky experience.

    Was thinking about buying one, but decided agains it due to the short comings of this vehicle. For an example, I have fairly long legs and need for the driver's seat to have the possibility to extend towards my knees when sitting. Also the car that I was looking at seemed that the buttons were melting. I found out that this was a more than common occurrence and is not what I expect from a "Luxury" vehicle. I also missed features as simple as a Heads-Up display that I think is not even provided on any XJ. All in all, I think that I will stick with my BMWs and Benzes.

Finally had enough, so I turned it in for a jaguar XJL i’ve had it now for five years and never had single problem with it. It only goes in for its regular schedule maintenance. I highly recommend this vehicle not to mention. It is absolutely beautiful. It definitely gets a lot of attention from other drivers when they see it on the highway. I’m always getting a thumbs up, or when it’s parked I always see people looking at it.

    The Xj have always been classy cars, but just to point one thing out to you which is a myth, the X type was not and never was a glorified Mondeo. It may have shared the deisel engine for some models, as did the Transit was that a Mondeo too? Some buttons and switches and the platform but the actual car was a jaguar, the 2.5 and 3.0 v6's were really powerful with the 60/40 split 4x4 running gear and it annoys me when manufacturers like Renault, Toyota and Nissan to name a few share parts, engines and practically look like the same car with a different badge, and get away without their vehicles being called something they are not. I have owned many Jaguars, from XJS V12's , XJ 4.2's, XJ40's and 2.5 v6 4x4 Xtype, and I don't recall ever seeing a 4x4 Mondeo' although I may be wrong, and my X type was great fun to drive.
