Jaguars have had a reputation for questionable reliability, especially their electrical systems. This was due to their Lucas wiring system-also used in other British vehicles of the era. After Ford purchased Jaguar in 1988 they worked hard to change this reputation, doing away with the Lucas electrical systems and vastly improving reliability and build quality. Even though Ford sold Jaguar in 2008 to Tata motors, they succeed in improving the reliability. So much in fact, that Jaguar won best manufacturer for initial new car reliability from the distinguished JD Powers and Associates. It took a while for Ford to completely revamp Jaguar's electrical system and improve engineering to the point of reliability. Any 1997 and new Jaguar can be purchased with confidence in reliability-excluding the X-Type, which is a re-badged and unreliable Ford Mondeo. Look for V-8 models, as they tend to have the best reliability overall.

Are jaguars good climbers?

They probably wouldn't do that. Jaguars typically ambush their prey rather than chase it. They hide in cover near prey and attack the prey suddenly, giving it no time to escape. Jaguars probably have the ability to jump from tree to tree to chase prey, provided their weight did not break the branches, but they wouldn't need to.
