XKR 100 Coupe First Impressions

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

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!

Motoring Delight

The car is a fantastic machine with timeless styling. The generous use of high quality wood and leather make it a pleasure to sit in each and every time. Rear seat is absolutely unusable even by my toddlers. Should not even be there. I still look forward to driving the car which is more than I can say for most cars after the initial euphoria wears off.

Acquired my 2002 Jaguar XK8 convertible 6 months ago and I really love it. I found a home for my 1976 XJ12C (which I owned for 43years) and this car was part of the payment. The seller called it “Jaguars’s masterpiece”. And he is right. From a driving standpoint it has all that my 12C has but it’s more modern, sophisticated and developed. Not only do I love it’s style but it is the best driver’s car I’ve ever driven. I don’t know why I didn’t get one years ago (got mesmerized by Mercedes I guess). Anyway I now have two newer Jags instead of one older one. And really glad I did it. After 1 year I love it even more. So smooth, powerful, comfortable and quiet. Nothing better than top down at 80 mph without getting blown about or loosing my hat.

This is my first Jag. I was a Vette person for years. I've had problems with the driverside rear alignment due to the fact the car was hit and repaired prior to my purchase, which I did not know about. Once this is corrected, I do believe it will be excellent. I look forward to trading in a year or so for a 2007. Like the retractable top, not keen on the lact of trunk space. Not much room for golf clubs. :)
