Jaguar XK Reviews

"...priced well under the $100,000 barrier."

"...16 miles per gallon city, and 25 miles per gallon highway, thus no gas-guzzler tax to be paid."

"Out in the hills the XK continued to impress. The car tackles the twisties with real poise yet never seems to stiffen its ride or responses to the point of severity. The paddle-directed fast upshifts and blipped-throttle downshifts lend real sporting character, and on several occasions we found ourselves drawing to a stop and pulling on both paddles to find neutral, the way it's done in Ferraris and Lamborghinis. That's how authentic the experience is."

"Somewhat stylish, the tail-lamps are a bit too busy."

"Both the XK coupe and convertible only accommodate four soft-pack overnight bags. "

"The more cynical among us took issue with the inevitable burl veneer and leather interior, accusing Jaguar of resorting to its clichéd image when designing the cabin. For customers who feel the same way, there is a brushed alloy treatment that banishes any sight of timber."
