Which XJ model to choose

Jaguar from -92 are all very safe to own. The XJ81 (V12) is more expensive to own and drive. If you want to use it every day I suggest that you go for XJ40 with the 4.0 litre inline 6 cyl. If you only want to have it for fun and have enough money to feed her, go for the XJ81.

Good luck

They say the 95-97 XJ6 are some of the best Jaguars ever made. If you wanted to use the car every day I would recommend the 6 , a 1994 or 1995 XJ6 depending on which body style you like better.

If you intend to use it as a special occasion car, say 5,000 miles a year, a

94 or 95-96 XJ12 is a heap of fun, a very satisfying car. The 94 XJ12 in the XJ40 body style is a fantastic car, having owned one for 6 years.

Jukka your a man (or lady) after my own heart. Frequently on this newsgroup do people go on about the V12's being inefficient, leaking oil etc etc - But I reckon its all down to those with little Jaguar engine being jealous. (And yes I have heard all the jokes about the size of an engine being inversely proportional to the male anatomy)

Go out and get a V12. If its only you and partner get an XJS - If others get an XJ6 but dont consider a little engine.

Enjoy !!!

Yes, what was it my wife told my brother when he said "I bet you wish you got the V12." Oh yes, "I would rather have six Big ones (ones, being the piston diameter) than 12 little ones."

I love her!

Excuse me, but I have several of each and I must say that the V12 is quite the waste of time, at least where pre HE engines are concerned.

I have, fitted to a SI, the worlds best 4.2. Other than a bit less grunt off the line, there is little between it and a 12. And soooo easy to maintain and repair.

Stuart, you sound cute. Have you got a picture? Have you got a boyfriend?
