In June 2022 we drove our 1997 Jaguar XJ6L with about 80k miles to Branson, Missouri. With three passengers the car was loaded and the trunk was stuffed with luggage.

Round trip including driving around the very hilly roads of Branson we drove 770 miles, averaged 23.7mpg and ran the nice cold AC ALL the time (it was hot that week - 90's every day).

The only hiccup was some scratches the Jag got on the trunk from what I suspect was a bored horse slobbering and mouthing the car. I'll have to figure what to do about that.

From start to finish the Jag drove strong, fast and kept us cool.

 

I took my 1996 X300 up to 162K miles (including several long trips around France) with only minor issues outside normal servicing. The X300 is certainly one of the most bullet proof models Jaguar ever produced.

I traded it for a 2001 X308 LWB which was the exact opposite for reliability!

162k miles? I've got a ways to go!
