Review
Phoenix, Arizona -- We try never to miss an opportunity to drive a great vehicle, on great roads in beautiful places. This was just the experience we had driving the all-new 2004 Jaguar XJ from Phoenix to Sedona, Arizona, and back. As is the case with the previous versions, the XJ is a magnificent vehicle filled to the brim with luxurious amenities and one of the most comfortable and sporty rides of any vehicle on the market.
