Mixed feelings
I love the looks and the ride is exceptional for a sports car. Long trips are no problem, the car is easy to drive and very responsive on the highway. It could use more low end torch, and the transmission is a concern sense it is a closed system, unable to change any fluids. I had to change motor mounts and the safety monitoring system for the transmission is very touchy. The vehicle brakes very well and stability is exceptional.
Great bang for your buck
I just bought my Jag Xk8 convertible a few months ago. It is black on black with chrome wheels. The car gets plenty of looks. People cannot tell what year or what I paid for this baby. The car is beautiful to look at in motion or while sitting still. Under the hood is a monster. the car has power the run a quarter mile when needed. In short, just buy it. You treat the car good, and she'll treat you real nice.

wants to run
This is a great driving/touring car. Suspension is stiff and responsive but not harsh - more civilized (no kidney damage) than Porsche. Engine/tranny very powerful and smooth. Very well appointed and handsome interior that could use some ergonomic attention. Expensive new, they depreciate quickly and become a much better value as they age.

This car drives like the dream it looks like... it handles like butter oozing on a hot griddle! It hugs and responds with a light touch on the wheel, yet feels solid and tight in the suspension.
Love everything about this beautiful car
I hate to part with this car as I really do love everthing about it. I have had no trouble with it and I love to drive it. Also , everywhere I go I get complements on it's beauty; however my age tells me that I need a different kind of a car.
