This guy should become a key presenter on BBC Top Gear.
Straight forward presentations, pleasant clear voice and good balance of technical and opinion.

Wow - what a breath of fresh air - no thumping music or super slo-mo - no wrecking tyres going sideways for no good reason - couple of subtle jokes - just the right length too. Thanks for this - liked and subscribed

You know you’re a jag fan when you re watch jag videos just because 😀

[paulberesford]

Eloquently presented, interesting, no nonsense, easy to understand and informative car reviews. Better than many of the professional presenters we see on our TVs. Well done.

I have a 2004 XJ-8 that I bought 4 years ago. It now has 97, 451 miles. Far and away it is the best auto I’ve ever owned. It looks new inside and out. People are surprised when I tell them the age. . I’ve owned MB, BMW, Audi and others and the reliability is as good as any and better than most. The bottom line is I don’t want anything else.

Hello from France ! I love this shape of the Jaguar XJ and you are right : you do not drive just a good machine, but a spirit of GB. And it's why it is so important to keep your big cat. I prefer this shape compared with the new one. Thank you for your video.

*your voice and the way you speak is butter to my ears and just pure joy listening, you should be the next Top Gear presenter*

It's a beautiful car. An absolute classic!

Just bought a 2003 XJ6 3.0 Sport as shown in this video, although in silver. To say that I am impressed would be an understatement. It is everything stated in this video and so much more. I part-exchanged my 2002 735i BMW for it, and even though I thought the 735i was the best drive ever, I was wrong. The XJ just has that edge that the BMW was missing. Great video, top review. Thank you.

The best jaguar model ever made from 2002 to 2009 ...

[davidr.flores]

Totally agree with the comment below, perhaps because like him, I too also lean towards Jaguar rather than Mercedes, nothing wrong with Mercedes, but the beauty of the Jaguar XJ is just matchless, period. Best regards.

I had a 2004 xj for four years. Everything you said about it was true. I loved it. Drove is most of the way across the USA and home to California. (No corrosion there.) I had the 4.2 V8. Excellent acceleration. I took it to a few track days at Willow Springs Raceway. Hit 120 on a downhill section. Handling and brakes were excellent. I finally sold it after having to spend $2000 dollars simply because the local mechanics do not understand Jaguars and misdiagnosed repeatedly when I had electrical problems. Finally found a specialist 20 miles from home who knew exactly what to do.
Over the four years I spent about $7, 000 in repairs, mainly on replacing worn out parts. I drove it 60, 000 miles, or about 100, 000 kilometers. Just sitting in the car was a feast of beauty.
BTW, the Jaguar enthusiast websites were very helpful.

I have had my XJ for nearly two years now and absolutely love it. I enjoyed your review / presentation and thought the content was well thought out and put together in refreshingly honest manner.

This car will one day, be in my garage for sure !!!! I'm madly in love with the X350 !!!

[Dunstire]

Last of the 'proper'Jags.True British classic.I love them and would kill for a good XJR

[dococc]

I have a 2004 XJR that I have had since new and have only put new tires and regular oil changes and filters. That is all I have spent on this car. On the highway I use 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers depending on speed. Best mileage at 130 kilometers per hour. Most efficient car I have ever owned, most reliable and most comfortable. Would I buy another? In a heartbeat.

[mvcharisma]

Love that the radio was tuned to ‘high peak’
That’s great attention to detail!

[jeffkrzyzanski]

I have a black 2004 XJR and it’s not for sale at any price. Love driving the car. Every time I start the car it puts a smile on my face.

I had one to drive at Millbrook back around 2002 to fill some time waiting for another car to come back in. It was my favourite car of the day, and that is against CTR and 265bhp WRX among others. The thing that struck me most was how relaxed it was at 70+ around the bowl there, you really could have just driven around until the fuel ran out and not felt at all tired. A truly fantastic car, and a feeling that I knew at the time would stay with me for a long while.

I remember the drive in the WRX for another reason.... and it didn't involve crashing it :-)

Great videos, nice relaxed and honest delivery.

Made my day this morning.... I am on my fourth jag xj and never had any major issues. My current one is the xj 4.2 v8 which is great. I have also had before the 3.0 Ltr version but I love the extra power... and you know what... it is strangely even more economical on long runs than the 3.0 Ltr! It just purrs along at 2 k rpm
Glad to see someone who thinks like me!
