Jaguar XJ 4-door (X351, 2009-2019) is the ultimate Jaguar saloon for Somerset - dramatic all-aluminium body, superb long-distance refinement, and V6/V8 power. Prices £8,000-£35,000 - extraordinary value for the luxury on offer. 3.0d V6 is the practical choice (30-35 mpg); 3.0 V6 petrol for smoother performance. Common issues: air suspension (£800-£1,500 per corner), ZF 8-speed gearbox fluid changes every 60k miles, parking sensors. Running costs are high: insurance £1,200-£2,000, fuel, servicing £700-£1,100 annually. Total: £5,500-£9,000. XJ is a depreciated luxury bargain - £12,000 buys a car that originally cost £70,000. Best for occasional Somerset executive use rather than daily high-mileage commuting.
