1998 Jaguar XK-Series 2 Dr XK8 Convertible

Review

All the horror stories must have occurred before the 1990 model for I have had very reliable cars/ My MB's over that period were no more reliable and lack styling. For a convertible it is super quite compared to other 1998 cars I have driven.

Favorite Features

Convertible for a 1998 model is extremeny easy to work and goes down in no time.

Suggested Improvements

More rear seat room. A baby car seat could not fit in it. Trunk is larger than it needs to be and here is were more rear seat room could have been accomplished. Even the 2005 model has the same mini Seats.Drip from convertible top when open door is annoying.

1998 Jaguar XK-Series 2 Dr XK8 Convertible

Review

This has been the best car I have owned, including a number of Porsches. What you give up in terms of ultimate performance (which is always difficult to use), you get back in comfort and drivability (which you use everyday). Very reliable. Excellent cargo and passenger space for a convertible and one of the best looking cars ever made.

1998 Jaguar XK-Series 2 Dr XK8 Coupe

Review

This car has been extremely reliable for me over the years. Gas mileage runs just under 20mpg for me, and it constantly turns heads, even today. A real winner. The coupe is extremely rare and provides a better overall styling exercise, structual integrity, heat and cool abilitiy.

Favorite Features

exterior style, ultra smooth drivetrain.

Suggested Improvements

none
