I have owed a 1999, 2002 and now 2007 Jag XKs and this is a runaway hit! The aluminum body is much more rigid, the paddle shifters add a new dimension and the blue tooth technology and keyless entry are a big plus. Styling is better and the operation of the top is much better and the boot cover is automatic. Only down side is the greatly decreased truck space and no manual transmission (as per the past). Before I decided on this vehicle I drove the Mercedes CLK and the BMW 6 series and this beats them hands down! One caution, don't test drive one... you will buy it.
Great Car!! Miss it and think about it often.

The base engine is a little light on power compared to other cars in this segment. If you are looking for super performance look at the XKR. I am more of a Grand Tourer driver than an all out performance driver. I think it has something to do with my age now. The base model had plenty of power for me and from 40mph to 120mph there was never a situation where I needed any more. In fact I was, ticketed while test driving on a desolate NV highway. I was going 100+ and the cop was nice enough to write the ticket for only 10 over. I have owned numerous high end and luxury cars over the years but none compares to the reactions this car received, especially when the top was down. BMW 6 series and MB SL are very common but you don't see many XKs which was something I enjoyed about the car. I bought the car used with 25,000 miles on it when it was 5 yrs old. The technology was on par and up to date with the newest cars of that time. Bluetooth and touchscreen navigation, adaptive cruise control and headlamps as examples. I purchased an extended warranty since the car was 5 years old and there was only one issue with a window that was moving slowly. I did have to replace the battery which when it was going bad messed with the drivers seat controls and the convertible top which may stop working even if the car has no troubles starting. The battery was expensive as were oil changes. I replaced the original tires with Michelin Super Sport that had plenty of tread after 3 years. Fantastic Car that gets tons of compliments, is quiet and very comfortable. The car handles great and has a great exhaust note which makes it fun to drive. It is pretty much maintenance and repair free although it is thirsty when it comes to fuel around town. 16-18 mpg city, 26-28 mpg highway

Not too long ago J D Powers gave Jaguar a glorious review especially for reliability. Eye opener. Driven several BMWs and 2 Mercedes SLs (500, 600) in the past. The new XK blew me away. Jaguar has carved design and performance. Power is less than 911 but plentiful. Drives like a sports touring. Purrs when slow but ready to leap with a growl with the push of the accelerator, wheels always hugging cement, driver held tight in the seat. Navigation / phone / Audio in the center with intuitive touch screen controls simply ingenious, yet enormously functional. bluetooth pairing with Blackberry seamlessly. Jaw dropping looks. Most people don't know what just rushed passed them.

I bought this car when it first arrived in the US. I have had more than 10 service visits in 3 months. The gas door would not open and had to be modified. The check engine light has come on 4 times with no real reason. The power seat failed, the windows do not move down a little everytime when you open the door and then up to seal when the door is closed, therefore, door will not shut normally. The radio antenna causes a wind noise at high speeds. There was a funny noise like a creak in the brakes when the car tilted and came to a stop. Overall, I love the looks of the car but am frustrated with the little problems that keep recurring.

This is the third XK I have owned. If you have not driven a Jag you have not driven. The XK is hands down the best car I have ever driven. The styling and comfort of the new all aluminum Jag is show stopping. It is stiffer and more substantial than the previous XKs I have owned. If you want a true sports car, I believe this will be the car to own.

The Jaguar I purchased has these additional options: luxury package, premium audio package and 20" wheels. I also had the vehicle coated so that waxing never has to be performed. The car performs very well @ 300 hp but I like the gas mileage it can achieve. I have recorded 31 mpg. With fuel costs rising and the desire to own a fantastic looking performance vehicle, is there any other way to go?
A sporty highway car to love like no other!

I bought mine 12 years old - and it still is a thrilling blast to drive. I got it cheap as the suspension bushings were mostly shot, the tires were bad, and there was a problem with the radio cutting out. (After 2 days of driving with radio cuts, it re-booted itself and has been fine ever since.) With $1,300 in new suspension installed by my favorite local mechanic - who loves the car - and new Falken 20 inch tires, the car is a quiet, sophisticated, launch machine for high speed. I had to test it once re-fitted, and got to 140 mph before I said "enough" - rock solid at that speed is saying something for a 2007 convertible w 80k miles. I have had Miatas, Solstice GXPs, Audis, Beemer 3 series, but this car has a special combination of British refinement and brutal V8 power when you work the great transmission correctly. It is not generic nor boring "everywhere" lux sportcar. Its not the most powerful V8 in the class, but the experience is plenty fast and 100% fun. And I get 30 mpg on the highway if baby it, and 19 around town if not gunning it. No major problems and reliable in the first 4 months. The top can be tricky as the battery and program can cause it to act weird - freeze half open, go dead, etc. Once you figure out the system, it is predictable. LOVE THIS CAR!!

* Serviced Mar 2012 - electrical 36,558 miles * Serviced Jan 2012 - shift lever replacement 36,456 miles * Serviced Dec 2011 - battery 36,263 miles * Serviced Jun 2011 - battery 34176 miles In addition to the above service dates, within this mileage period the vehicle was serviced 3 other times for electrical and once for "top vacuum". While the dealer has been great for handling service issues under warranty up to this point, I am out of warranty now 1 month. With 37969 miles the top won't open or close. We will see how they will handle. Bottom line, within a 4K mile period the vehicle had to be serviced no less then 8 times. What more can be said!

I saved for a 911 but after driving the XK convertible, bought it. We live in the Texas hill country and throughly enjoy letting the top down and driving...phantastically comfortable, does everything well, and a real head turner.

Replaced 98 XK8 with this vehicle. Objectively considered several other vehicles, but after hitting other marques and testing-driving, ultimately decided to give the 07 XK a try when all things considered for me (styling, performance, features). I marked Reliability as "10" cause (knock on burled walnut), no problems yet, but just had it a couple days.

A proud owner since May 2006. I ordered the XK the very 1st day it was availabe for ordering in the US - got the 3rd convert delivered in the Wash DC area. I traded a 2003 Merc SL500 and couldn't have made a better choice. The XK is drop dead sexy and has stellar interior and exterior styling. Jag's Ian Callum is a genius on this one! The quality and reliability has been better than any Porsche, BMW or Merc I've owned. In other words, zero defects, only two trips to the dealer for minor tweaks. The performance is especially pleasing in Sport mode - plenty fast for DC driving. I've taken four trips of 2+ hours and this thing is comfortable and joy on the highway.
Favorite car I've ever owned!

I was prepping this car to sell. When I finished I took it out for a final ride. A beautiful autumn day, some twisty back roads, I just couldn't part with it. 10 years old, it looks practically new.

List convertible top - cables replaced rear motor Windows replaced. 10 days in shop navigation system not functioning 4 days upload hardware electrical issues, constantly, battery replaced 2 times. Beautiful disaster. I am at home and have to wait two days until the car can be towed back. If the car was not under warranty I would hate to see what the costs are. Wow. Never again.

found my 2007 jaguar zk convertible online. was searching for the perfect car for me and had settled on the jaguar convertible. wanted something eye catching and not small. found her. a white convertible with leather interior in the linen color, a blue top and less than 25000 mines on her when I took possession went to pick her up and was delighted in the appearance and the size. when I begin to drive her back to my home state, that is when the thrill began. smooth ride, great pick up, all the things one would want in a touring sports car. tight, agile steering, a solid feel of the road and a feeling that you were a part of the road with no intention of being "blown" off. people stop and stare as well as compliments everytime I take her out for a spin. and with the convertible top down, she really shows how good a car she is. drove the mountain roads in North Carolina with a delight and giggle, maneuvering through all the curves and switchbacks. I am so pleased with my car it becomes difficult not to make up excuses just to drive her around the block. I would definitely recommend this jaguar to anyone looking for fun and excitement in their driving life.

Love the car - Drives great - great head turned. Power is good but could be better. But the most annoying thing about it is the electrical problems - especially the display screen that is totally inoperable at times. The dealer has been no help and Jaguar Engineering who inspected the car is no help either. Awaiting decision on a buy back. Probably would not purchase another.

In my third year of driving the restyled XK. I am amazed that I have yet to have ANY even minor issue with this car. I hesitated to buy a Jaguar because of the old reputation as unreliable. The performance and styling wowed me and I just had to have one. Bravo, Jaguar on the maintenance reliability!
Gorgeous car - seats not comfortable

Sexy ext., and interior is best ever on a car - perfect combination of wood and leather. Super handling and ride - although car is rather large - 188 in. long and 75 in. wide - it drives smaller - turn radius shorter than BMW 3-series. Wind buffeting virtually non-existent. Excellent stereo and super quiet ride with top up. Seats are better than prior years, but still uncomfortable - headrest is rock hard, lumbar too high - Corvette, BMW, and Porsche all have better seats. Complicated integration of radio, A/C etc thru NAV screen - cannot see it with sunglasses - and too many screen required to make changes. Should have HUD like Corvette so eyes can stay on road.

The 2007 XK Convertible in Emerald Fire Green with tan interior with beryl wood tones turns heads wherever I go. It has many standard features that are ahead of many cars of its day and beyond such as touch screen display, individual electronic temperature/climate controls, electronic heat for seats, intuitive navigation system, AM/FM radio with Blue Tooth, backup obstacle sensors, front and back car avoidance automatic features, and individual electronic seat adjustments . The engine (V8)and transmission (automatic or paddle shifters) are synced well and smoothly changes gears as required. The gas required is 91 Octane which requires premium fuel normally around 93 Octane. The gas mileage in town is around 18-20 MPG and 23 MPG on the road. Love driving this car in town as well as on the road (Houston to Dallas and back). The maintenance costs for normal wear and tear is somewhat high given the average 60,000 mile check up is around $1,500. I have owned this car since December 2016 and it had 52,250 miles on it. It now has 62,300 miles on it. In that two year period, I experience a cracked thermostat housing (replaced) causing a repeating Check Engine light, and Fuel Dampener failure (replaced) (fuel smell in the cockpit) as the only major maintenance issues. Both of these issues are known problems with the XK. Also, virtually no back seat that an adult could ride in. Love this car. As an update to this review, I have owned this Jaguar for approximately three years and I still standby my previous comments. The only issue to affect my XK sense my last review is a Warning Display that my right rear tire is not monitored. I check my tires and they have required pressure. I will need to have my car servicing center reset the sensor on the right rear tire to eliminate the warning display. Still love this car.

Recently sold '98 XK8 to acquire the 2007 New XK. Looks good, drives like a dream, great gas milage for such a car. The fit and finish on this car is flawless. With Luxury package, Premium Sound and Technolgy Package there isn't much left. The advanced features are just so perfect for this car - keyless entry, auto everything, touch screen controls that are intuitive. If you are in the market for a sophisticated sports car vehicle this is definately one you will fall head over heels in love with.

I bought my dream Jag 2 months ago, only to discover, the dreaded electric gremlins attacked, over $2k for fuel pump and fuel pcm to be replaced, thermostat and housing over $400, over $1300 for tires, after all that that fuel system acts up yet again, would not start after a long drives, traded it for a 2013 BMW 328i. In the future maybe the BMW on. 2010-2014.

The car is beautiful on the exterior, the interior is not very functional with misplaced buttons all around. Reliability is horrible, I think I spend more time in my rental car than my Jaguar. My son's popsicle stick birdhouse is built better than this car. I have decided I am ending the lease early and buying a BMW 6-Series.

I have owned 5 bmw 1 mercedes 2 porsche 2 corvette 3 cadillac 1 audi and this is far superior to all. No problems and great to drive. All options are great and the interface is very easy to use. The rear seat and truck are also roomier than most other sports cars especially the convertible hard top ones.

Recently acquired to replace my 98XK8 that served me well. This car is so much more in many ways - performance is outstanding, looks are just the best, ride excellent, seating very comfortable. My car fully loaded and greatly enjoying the many luxury features including adaptive cruise control, GPS and high end Alpine stereo. Bravo Jaguar you made a good thing better!

My husband took me to trade in my '96 Mustang GT convertible.The XK is truly an amazing piece of machinery in comparison...so quiet--even with the top down compared to the old car (she purrs not growls), and she wants to run fast. The feature that limits acceleration may be something folks really do want to use, you can be doing 70 and feel like it's a Sunday drive at 40; top storage takes up some trunk space, though, so order Fresh Direct if it's an option. The backseat is small, though bigger than the Mustang. The screen is almost unreadable in bright sun, but the cellphone docking features are amazing. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to me!! It's that much fun!

Have had the car for 1 month. Flawless fit, finish and materials. Really like the extra luxury option with leather covering just about everything. Upgraded stereo with satellite radio is great also. All switches and controls are high quality. It is fun to drive but comfortable to drive all day. Incredibly quiet with top up at highway speeds. With tax and extended warranty it is just over $100K but it is a bargain compared to new Bentley or Aston Martin convertibles. It totally outclasses Mercedes and BMW.

I've only had this car for a week, but I just don't want to get out of it. Gorgeous, gorgeous styling - a real head turner. Amazing performance (I'm used to driving 'R' Jags - but you just don't need to R in this model) and responsiveness. Really smooth acceleration - and that growl when you floor it! Wow! I love this car.

When putting the top down it is the best convertible when comparing the cadillac XKR, Mercedes SL 550 and BMW. There is hardly any wind inside of the car which definately can not be said to the above mentioned cars. The car has enough power and the sound of the car is great. It is a real looker and many people think it is an aston martin. The best on the current market.

Having owned previous XK8 and having at least one compliment per month from strangers, I wondered how that styling could have been improved on. Well, Ian Callum and co. showed me how. This car surpasses previous models in practically every category. It is a stunning car to look at and to drive! Styling-wise, it vaporizes every other car out there (except, perhaps, Aston Martin). Seats are supremely comfortable. The acceleration growl is music to the ears! The interior is all driver-oriented, without converting the car to space-shuttle complexity and clutter. Everyone should experience driving this car at least once! But be warned: you'll be a center of attention everywhere you go.

Great looking exterior, but too bad the rest of the car does not measure up. The transmission and stereo are phenomenal. The back seat is useless, and the driving experience is ho-hum. This is a nice car, but at this price-point, I expect much more. The seats are average, the ride is simply okay - not exhilarating. The car handles okay, but is a tad rough, which is surprising given its size. The size is one of the main problems - this car is simply too big for a 2 seater.
