Hi all....I'm a 41 year old 'young' in the head kind of guy from Derbyshire in the UK who has admired Jaguars since being a kid!

My dilemma is do I change my daily car!?

Currently run a 2001 Lexus IS200 Auto which is a lovely smooth silky 6 cylinder motor, which just lacks some pace and does about 25 mpg. My daily commute to work is a round trip of 20 miles on basically dual carriageway.

Have been looking at XJ6 Sports and XJ8's but would mean me getting a slightly older vehicle for the same money that's in my Lexus.

What kind of 'real world' miles per gallon would I get from the Jaguar?? Thought I'd ask the owners and see what they thought!! Are they reliable enough too?


Any help or opinions would be appreciated as to sway my decision or stick with my Lexus !!

Thank you all in advance !!

 

Welcome to the forum Adgti,

Good to have you with us.
If you are young in the head it's time to ditch that Lexus.
Head on over to the tech sections and ask the owners for their opinions I think this will be the spot XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
Take a look at your regional section also UK - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Thanks very much for the warm welcome !!

 

Welcome to the forum Adgti,

My 1996 X300 consumed 12085.76 litres of fuel in 61540 miles and my 2000 X308 consumed 2598.47 litres in 11929 miles.

Follow Norri's link to the XJ8 section or this one XJ X300 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X300 section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' threads at the top of each section are a good place to look for info on regular issues.

Enjoy the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

I reckon that your mpg would be about the same, but ask away in the tech sections.

Good to see you.
