Used 2003 Jaguar XK-Series Consumer Reviews
Awesome British motoring
Owning one of these Jags is like owning a piece of history. Most people don't realize that the XJ and XK series are still hand assembled over in Conventry. All the leather and woodwork is still done by hand! Only the British can produce something so beautiful. I can't tell you how many people have come up to me on the street to comment on it's beauty (can you blame them?) I am very impressed with Jaguar's realiability improvements. I don't have to pay for anything for 4 years, not even oil changes! I absolutely love this car and seeing them made in England has made me a fanatic. I would highly recommend a tour in Coventry for all of you Jag lovers.

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.

great looks, but disappointing performer
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.
Shoulda gone for the R
I love driving this car, and I wish it had more amenities, like the BMW 7 series. If you can, go for the XKR: while the XK8 is great, the extra--wheels and the nav system--make it all the more worthwhile.
