Appreciate what you have
Sounds just like our 2001 XJ8 when we had it! Smart man to get rid of it early.
Sorry to hear of your troubles, but as others have said, correct punctuation and syntax goes a long way!

Not a fan of sweeping automotive statements. Here at CL we have actual owners giving model specific actual feedback instead of the usual internet hearsay. I appreciate the reporting.
I am not surprised by the report on 2011 Jag.

Exactly the point, after getting actual feedback as well as reading other data sources such as JD Powers and CR, reasonable conclusions can be reached by model/year/brand. No magic formula/timetable/cutoff or point in time is necessary, the informed automotive enthusiast knows when he has enough data for his purposes.

Bought a 2011 jag xjs in august after a few weeks heard a clunking noise and gasoline odor in the car brought it into jag they said there was a loose tie rod and a small gas leak! After a few more months,the stereo Bluetooth and nave just quit brought it in again they said oh yeah you need the software update took all day get the cars great it's running ok last month stereo quits again restart car it works 2 days ago stereo quits,but we're a block from dealership bring it in.the tech says jag is aware of the problem but can't fix it yet.enough I think started thinking about my favorite cat the sc430 I know it's discontinued but stop by Lexus in margate anyway they had 1hidden in the back it's now in my garage great car loved it except in the snow now in fla so no snow.be careful if you're considering a jag looks great but a real mechanical piece of junk I think
Your grammar hurts my head.
Oh, and sorry about your new car problems.

It is an overly-sweeping statement to some extent, Paul, but let's face it....there is some basis for it. In general, European-designed cars just don't have the same level of reliability as their Japanese or Korean-designed counterparts.....although, of course, there is no guarantee that any design, just because it is Asian, will necessarily be reliable. Mitsubishi, for example, has put out some vehicles with questionable build quality/reliability.

For a number of reasons, I place more stock in Consumer Reports than I do in J.D. Power. CR showed a significant incease in Jaguar quality for several years, in the 1990's, after Ford bought the firm, but, after that, more or less a return to the bad old days. There is, however, little doubt that the average Jaguar today, even after the relapse, is still more reliable than the Jags of the 70s and 80s.....especially the ones with the infamous Lucas electrical system.

Had the 430 years ago and loved it replaced the jag in 24 hours it's like a dog going bad, once they turn it's best just to get rid of them. .that takes care of the jag problem now the maserati is a little different was fooling around on the net one night found a maserati spyder 5 years old with 1700 miles on it always ,had vetoes but I figure I'll check it out the guy was asking a fair price worked out a fair price made the trade.beautiful car yellow with a brown interior but the car:does strange stuff it has-an automatic with paddle shifters and every once in a while it will shift itself into neutral annoying to say the least.

Agreed, I had said this before, but it appears my post got removed. O_o...
IMO, someone with this bad of grammer/typing/lauguage skills, simply would not have the financial resources for said cars. At least that has been my experience.
