Hello,
As it is time to purchase a new automobile, I've been looking at various Jaguar models (XJ8..specifically). I've never owned a Jaguar, and am reluctant to make a purchase given the reliability indicators of all models. I am curious as to how Jaguar ranks in the UK? Is it giving UK owners trouble?
Many thanks, Rich

We don't do 'new' here. Go away.

Wrong group.
Try uk.rec.cars.misc.
He's trolling anyway. If he had really looked at the 'reliability indicators' he would know that Jaguar has been best of the Europeans for some time and is challenging the best of the Japanese.

But I know of at least one Australian who has owned several and to quote "loverly looking motor, but wouldn't touch another one with yours", when ever I suggested a Jag. So maybe internationally, they don't have the same reliability reputation.

Always possible he got bad ones, and he does rate the V12's as the worst fo the bad lot, so they may pretty old ones he refers to.
Oh yeah granted, and yes I know others may vary. I'm a jag fan myself, my mother had a proper 3.4 S Type with red leather.
