I just picked up my brand new 08 XKR convertible, and it is a blast!! In my opinion, it is the best looking car for under 100k. I am glad I got this over the 6 series. It has great performance and great sound! I get looks from everybody. My son loves to drive it as well.

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.

Fantastic handling

I was seriously looking at the Aston Martin V8, because of it's better looks, but after a test drive it was clear: the XKR is by far a better car. It handles great and shifting gear is much prettier.

Top Quality, Tons-o-Fun!

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.

Awesome XK replacement

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.
