2010 Jaguar XJL X351 1 Year Ownership Review. Should you buy a used 100k mile 12 year old Jaguar?!

I thought I should do another video of the Jag after a year of ownership.
Apologies for the sound quality again, dispite having the new mic, it was on the wrong setting so didnt work as well as it should have...maybe next time!

Great information / video! Bought a 2016 x351 a few months ago to replace a 2008 BMW E93. Mine is the short wheelbase, 470hp V8, with carbon fiber instead of wood. They addressed the sunroof issues (rail corrosion and creak), and updated the infotainment system, so it makes sense to spend a little more to get a 2016 - 2019 if those are dealbreakers for anyone. Still an amazing deal on the level of car you're getting. Love these... but they are long. You don't notice the size when driving, as they handle like a smaller car, but when you're in a tight carpark... you realize this is the same length (even in short wheelbase) as a Cadillac Escalade.

I have driven Jags for over 30 years. Sold my 2008 XJ and bought a BMW 530D tourer to take the dog. Great car that I have never bonded with. Your video and the way you presented it was for me fabulous. Although I hate the rear end I will actively seek a 2018 model. Knowing it will loose £5K a year (if I'm lucky) is no worse really than any other car in its class. Thanks a lot mate for helping with the decision process - Appreciated

Great stuff, really good detailed video with practical issues explained, thanks mate.. definitely helped me make up my mind when I was torn between buying a used XF vs XJ.
Cheers !!!

Great video, very informative and useful information!

You make a strong case for a first year x351! New remote mic and additional exterior camera shots should make your next Jag video even better.. As a former x260 owner, the x351 (any year really) is pretty compelling.

This car seems like a legit upgrade from the 2010-2019 Taurus Limited. I've watched plenty of reviews of both. Jaguar actually fitted alot of the interior with premium pieces that will not fade over time. Ford really really cheaped out on the Taurus' interior even though it was their flagship sedan for years, i dont understand it. My Taurus is rife with quality control issues and it only had 1 owner before i purchased it, i recently found out it may have been manufactured at a Lincoln plant which also produced defective Lincoln models of the same chassis. Alot of plastic parts or faux metal or faux wood, not the actual thing. i found i should've gotten the Continental or MKS Ford loaded those things with better quality interiors(in my opinion) anyway i feel it would be a great move to have this be a rideshare vehicle in the future. Any opinions are welcome

Great informative video, just looking at a r-sport 17 plate now with 60, 000 miles and full jaguar service history for £23000...should I be hesitant at the price or just go right in ?

[Herbiedog]

Great review. Tks. Would you buy the xj not L next time?

Hi! How did you got those fuel consumption numbers? The ones you mentioned are even better than the ones advertised by jaguar. There is no chance you get that. How is that possible? I'm serious. I'm getting a combined consumption of 35MPG.

Hi how do you reach the rear part of sunroof rails please what brush did you use?

[SuperRogers]

Brilliant video ! Have u still got the XJ mate

[paddyjee]

How about these bushs, joint balls, or suspension strus?

[stephrusty]

Good video on this vehicle. Only downside had to put volume up so high to hear muffled commentary.then engine and wind noise was a problem
Apart from that ok

[stevewight]

Errrm so many times man. Love the info but eeerrrmmm is grinding

[robinatorsmith]

Sound quality is terrible. I used subtitles. And turned of after a few minutes..

[mrcross]

Good contents, and good to hear your views however, get yourself a microphone I’d stop watching due to all the wiper blade and car noises
