I absolutely love my XK convertible! I truly underestimated the fun factor of having a convertible that the top goes up or down in 18 seconds... so fast you can put it down at a light. In Alabama where I live, I get 10 mos of top down weather. It is also a head turner... looking like nothing else on the street (except now it's new sister the XF sedan). It is great for a road trip... it's very adjustable seating lends itself to comfortable driving. I've leased this vehicle, but will most likely buy it at the end of the term. Drive it, you'll fall in love!

"My Last Fling"

This car is so exciting to drive and to look at that I call it "my last fling". When I'm behind the wheel, I feel like I never need to own another car, ever. Driving it is like cruising down a ski slope on fresh powder. You glide along until you decide to exploit its power with a burst of acceleration. The sexy growl of the engine when you push the start button and the power of the engine when you shift it into gear and accelerate let you know that this is no kid's toy. This car is for the enthusiast who can't wait to find a stretch of open 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.
