SEXY BEAST

Review

Beautiful, powerful auto. Turns heads everywhere. Great leather & walnut inside, but cheap plastic controls just below that gorgeous wood. Sound system should be better. Rocket-like acceleration. Superb handling. 20 mpg on highway.

Favorite Features

Exclusive beautiful styling,sexy sculpted body. Lots of supercharged power and torque. Fine handling.

Suggested Improvements

Needs a better sound system - with a midrange. Can use better grade of interior plastic.Could use more headroom for this 6'-3" guy.

Have just put 1000 miles and love everything about the vehicle. Comfort, performance, looks. I have had more people come up to me and talk about the car. A sheer beauty. I glad I sold my SC430, can't compare.

XKR 100 Coupe First Impressions

Written by: Jeff Henry on 06/02/2002

Vehicle

2002 Jaguar XK-Series XKR 100 2dr Coupe (4.0L 8cyl S/C 5A)

Review

High performance, incredible luxury! Tackles any road at crazy speeds. Braking is outstanding, throttle response especially quick, gas pedal feedback too light. Engine is smooth, quiet, very torquey. Automatic trans is excellent; 6-speed would be more fun! Steering is tight and predictable, too insulated from "road feel". Recaro seats are spectacular. Buttons are "Fordish", but intuitive. Gas door/trunk release are too easily bumped. Sound system is great, needs in-dash CD player. Nav system accuracy and capabilities are better than most. Overall: Far classier than anything in its class. Interior luxury to match exterior sexiness. A spectacular car!

Favorite Features

Head-turning, jaw-dropping good looks Impressive sports car performance Driver comfort and convenience Great Nav system

Suggested Improvements

Move gas door and trunk release switches so they won't get bumped with left knee Augment Nav system with Compact Flash- type updates to program and nav data Make Nav system touch-screen instead of cursor-and-joystick Add in-dash CD to current stereo

Review

Beauty and the Beast. You can't find a better looking vehicle on the road, and its power rivals the hottest little rattle boxes out there, yet delivers with a grace and style no Teuton can match. Editors complain about a fussy GPS, which is ridiculous...its acuracy will amaze. The interior is divine, all high quality with an outstanding 9 speaker sound system.

Favorite Features

Acceleration, especially from midrange...blows anything, and I mean anything, else off the road.

Suggested Improvements

Lower the price :-)

great looks, but disappointing performer

Review

This car is gorgeous...it has a great ride, always garners stares and compliments...but it is so disappointing to drive even a little bit sporty...all because of seats that seem like they're straight out of a 1970's Cadillac. The seats have no side bolster support whatsoever...take a left corner at anything above granny speed and you'll likely end up in the passenger seat...plus, the seats have terrible lumbar support. I'm really amazed...the less "sporty" XJR sedan and even the lowly X-Type have much better seats than this "top-of-the line" supposedly sportiest of cats.

Favorite Features

The looks....definitely one of the sexiest cars made....the 370hp supercharged engine is also terrific....smooth, exhilirating power....too bad you can't use it for anything other than straight line driving

Suggested Improvements

Jag should use the Sproty Recaro seats that parent ford uses in Jag's sister company Aston-Martin...they're even better than the XKR 100 seats....firm, supportive, and comfortable.
