Used 2000 Jaguar XK-Series Consumer Reviews
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.
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.

Reliable...but
It is a fun car to drive I even had a police officer stop me to admire the car, honestly no ticket. I had the engine replaced at 34,000 miles because of no oil. I don't know if the servicing dealer didn't put in enough or why or how it lost it. It was covered under warranty after a fight with Jag reps. What I did find out is the gauges are not reliable because prior to dying, the engine temp and oil pressure guages all said normal nor were there any red lights lite on the dash.
Favorite Car
I decided to take a chance on a Jaguar and it is by far the best car I have ever owned. Not only is it beautiful to look at, it is responsive and a joy to drive. Select the sport function and this baby is a rocket. As fun to drive as my 911, but in a different way. A real head turner!
Awesome styling and performance
There is only one Jaguar experience and the XK8 Convertible is it. Inpired by the XKE design, the XK8 Convertible offers quantum improvements in every mechanical and electrical area as well as superb fit and finish. Timeless British Jaguar styling and road feel give this Euorpean touring sports convertible a permanent place in the pantheon of classic automobiles. So far, I have experienced no mechanical problems. I would be remiss if I did not point out that the XK8 Convertible is also a remarkable babe magnet.
