2007 Jaguar XJ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed automatic RWD	Plenty of room in the big cat, however never could get comfortable behind the wheel. While large and spacious, the seats were hard, lacked lumbar support, and did not fit my back well. see full Jaguar XJ review
