This car is a blast to drive, it handles really well, and has good acceleration. Unfortunately I haven't been able to verify the top speed :), but at high speeds it's still very smooth and quiet. The convertible top produces little noise, and looks great from inside. Jaguar reliability is much better than it used to be, and the AJ-V8 engine and ZF tranny are a very solid combination. Research the timing chain tensioners however, esp. on pre-2000 models. Oil changes are very easy thanks to intelligently-situated filter and drain. Good amount of trunk space, but the back seat is all but useless for moving people.

This fantastic model is no longer made, the body style is a classic. For a high performance car fuel economy is great. Offers sport mode and shift. No problem getting repairs, most repairs are consistent with routine wear and tear for the age of car. Oil pan in front low position makes is susceptible to damage if scraped by going over cement parking blocks.

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.

I have put less than 40000 miles on this car and have nothing but problems. The rubber used in the tires is very soft - I have put on 13 tires due to flats (they are not cheap either). The coolant systems had to be replaced, the engine uses 2 quarts of oil a month (and the dealership argues that nothing is wrong with the car). The leather is splitting in the front seats. It costs over $150 for an oil change.
Great Auto
