2008 Jaguar XJ-Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers have a strong admiration for the 2008 Jaguar XJ-Series, praising its luxurious design, excellent handling, and powerful performance. Many appreciate the comfort and upscale features, like heated seats and spacious interiors. However, some owners have expressed frustration with transmission issues that detract from the enjoyment of driving, especially those who have experienced problems early on."
An absolutely spectacular driving machine! Beautiful in every way. Perfect handling, FAST and responsive. Very quiet and luxurious. I was lucky to find this perfectly maintained automobile with flawless attention to detail in the maintenance. Literally, the only thing I am doing is changing the tires for road safety.
August 7, 2020Sport Luxury at its finest. Compare to M5 and e450 , The Jag wins easily with an interior that coddles you in leather and wood, and 5 inches of extra legroom in back (picnic tables optional) ! Heated and cooled seats, 4 zone AC, DVD players in headrest, the Jag spares no expense. Super garaged 4.2 liter that gets good gas mileage..
March 9, 2022I bought my 2008 XJ8L with zero miles on it and at 2,500 miles I started having what some web sites refer to as "the lurch". When I come to a rolling stop I feel a thump as the transmission downshifts from 2nd to 1st gear. It's not like the car wont run, but it's so irritating that I no longer enjoy driving the car. It's not what I would call a pleasant experience after just 2,500 miles for a $70K car. The car is now at the dealership for the second time. If they can't fix the problem after this second trip to the dealership I'm going to ask them to buy the car back from me. I LOVE the look of the car from the outside, and the inside. It's distictive (doesn't look like a jelly bean like so many other cars) and dignified (the dashboard doesn't look like a boom box). But the transmission issue leaves me cold.

January 29, 2008As far as Im concerned this model has everything a classic car would need. I tried other makes similar to this with no luck. A Jag has the comfort, luxury and the feel of a performance vehicle.
