Used 2012 Jaguar XK Consumer Reviews
Amazing car for the money
This is the perfect car for me. Incredibly sexy looks, excellent performance (when desired), smooth ride and great gas mileage (considering power), and exclusiveness that you can't get with a Corvette, 911, Shelby etc. I get positive comments on a daily basis which, let's face it, makes you feel good about your car.
One Angry Cat
I bought the 2010 Jag XKR after close comparison shopping with M3,M6, and 911s. The Jags looks trumped the others but I wasn't sure about the chassis and performance of the new 5.0 engine.Well I absolutely love this car! I have owned many sports cars but this car is a stunner. Performance is spectacular, torque is outstanding, and I have averaged 19 mpg on the first 1,800 miles. The sound system is incredible and the Bowers & Wilkins speakers are as good as it gets. Truly a world class touring car. A car that can be pussy cat to drive or a "scalded cat" on demand.

Short Term Review
Performance: With 510hp & peak torque at 2500rpm with the CATS system disabled, it is hard to keep the back wheels from spinning while the rear end kicks out. Anymore power would be a waste. Interior is all stitched leather, suede and wood. It reminds me of a Ferarri inside. Not many bells and whistles and NO VOICE ACTIVATION!! This car is all about performance, which is why it is surprising that they did not use racing pedals and steering wheel. The auto door lock does not work, which is why I gave it a 6 for reliability. The engine is covered with plastic - very cheezy! The back seats are for CD's. This car is fun to drive and fun to look at. It is a rocket on rails, Jag should be proud!
Still Early In, But Enjoying
We are still early into the ownership of this car, but it has been a positive experience so far. The lines are so attractive that everyone still thinks it is a brand new car. The cabin is very nice, and the performance and handling are good. I wouldn't drag race this car, but it moves nicely on the parkway.

Horrible company.
Engine seized after 15k miles. Jaguar will not take care of it although it is under warranty. Beware of this company. Their customer service is the worst. I have owned BMW, Lexus and and this xkr convertible. I will never buy another Jaguar. I am going with a BMW. Wish I could afford a Lexus lfa. Don't buy Jaguar. Trust me!
