I am now driving my 6th Jaguar, my first was a used XJ-S V12 about 15 years ago. I loved it! I waited or the day when I could go to a Jaguar showroom and order a new car. Since then I have had a V8 S-Type, XK Coupe, XJ V6(X350), XK Convertible however, now I have gone green and splashed out on a Racing Green XJ Super V8. What a fantastic car. My daughter wanted the rear DVD/TV and heated rear seats; and rear doors! 0-60mph in 5 seconds, Premium sound system, voice activated toys, what can I say! Buy one, it’s not German.

This review is spot on (except for the cupholder comments!). The Jaguar XJ8 (in any trim, supercharged or naturally aspirated) is a much more pleasant (and faster) car to drive than its competition; it is also much better to look at! It has that classic Jaguar elegance that no other car can match. Quibbles about the size of the cupholders? Some of us don’t think there should be liquids in a leather and walnut-lined cabin so this is really a moot point. The build quality, ride, handling and comfort are second to none and the technology is used to make the driving more intuitive, not more difficult. Now if only Jaguar advertised properly, they would sell as many as they can build. Anyone who hasn’t tried a Jaguar before buying a premium car is really missing something.
