So, do Jaguars have a reliability problem?
It’s a matter of perspective. On average, a Jaguar Saloon from the 1950s or 60s will not be as reliable as your 1992 Toyota – especially if you treat it the same as your Toyota. Cars of this vintage, not just Jaguar, need far more maintenance than modern vehicles. Where you can get away with changing your Toyota’s oil every seven thousand miles, forget to tune it regularly, ignore the cooling system, brake fluid, etc.; your Jaguar Saloon will miss your attention, and let you know by breaking down on a dark and stormy night 50 miles from nowhere. Maintain it properly, and your Jaguar will get you where you need to go, and do it with a style and grace the Toyota could never hope to match.
