No drifting on a track, no crap music, no funny comments. Just normal driving that gives you the time to feel and hear how this beautyful car behaves. Fantastic good video for a Jaguar lover👍

I owned a Jaguar XJ V8 Sovereign for nine fine years and I had to say good bye because my home town made the pavement higher so I could not open my garage door anymore. So my precious pride had to stay outside....my beautiful bolide had been rotten away! I kissed the car good bye and I was heartbroken. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us!

[@NZotyoka81]

Love the car, it’s reminding me of my 2003 s-type what dumb people are keep looking down. The driving feel and comfort is just like in the xj and the maintance costs are the same as well. I have tried the manual mode a few times but i felt it unnecessary the 6 spd zf transmission was quiet fast. I also quit speeding cause it just so wonderful to be in the car.

Piękny jag z zajebistych czasów motoryzacji. Wg mnie żadna większa moc w tym aucie nie jest potrzebna , bo to nie fura na wyścigi tylko do delektowania sie jazda. Mam mała kolekcje furek z najlepszych czasów moto ale Jaga nigdy nie miałem a mega mi sie widza . Ciekawe jak porownanie do s klasy i siódemki w komforcie i jakości wykończenia wnetrza . Jak wogole jest z dostępnością części obecnie i awaryjnoscia tych fur? Maja jakies „ krytyczne punkty”na które trzeba zwracać uwagę? I co sadzisz o następcy - tym co szedł do 2007r ? Bo kolejny ten x351 to juz nie moja bajka…

[@theonewhodrive]

Gratuluję! Jakie samochody posiadasz? :D Sam Jaguar to bardzo stylowy samochód, wzbudzający pozytywne emocje na drodze. Zawieszeniowo bliżej mu do eSki niż do serii 7. Jakość wykonania wnętrza niestety jest ligę niżej niż niemieccy konkurenci. Awaryjność nie jest jakaś tragiczna, ale większość egzemplarzy niestety jest już mocno zmęczona życiem, a dostępność niektórych części jest bardzo kiepska w porówaniu z BMW, czy Mercem. Najbardziej leci w nich blacha, oraz skrzynie biegów (nomen omen niemieckie ZF'y). Myślę, że inwestycyjnie najlepszym wyborem będzie X306 najlepiej z V12.

[@Gulgozaur]

Jak działa ta skrzynia to jest automat a wachlujesz? O co w niej chodzi.

[@theonewhodrive]

Ustawiając np. na pozycję "2" sprawiasz, że skrzynia używa tylko 1 i 2 biegu. Jest to przydatne gdy jedziesz np. 60 km/h na 5 biegu i ustawisz "2" to skrzynia zredukuje do 2 biegu (jeżeli obroty nie bedą za wysokie) i możesz w ten sposób hamować silnikiem.

[@VLG105]
