Used 2014 Jaguar XK Consumer Reviews

Amazing XK

Drove 300 mile round trip to country every weekend as well as a daily city commute. The XK never needed anything except a new wiper blade. Biggest problem was keeping it under speed limit. The car is most happy cruising at 80-90 mph. Direction headlights are perfect for country roads.

An English Masterpiece

Awesome sound and acceleration. Interior is of very high quality. Exterior is beautiful, a real head-Turner. Really a 2 passenger car as the back seat is for groceries or a small cat. Electronics are so so. Navigation is clumsy and the Bluetooth phone features are limited. The stereo is terrific. Overall a wonderful and reliable car, highly recommended.

Oh, My - What a Car!!

Wow! My salsa red supercharged convertible with black interior started to turn heads right inside the dealership. I knew I was getting something special when I pushed the "Start" button and the Jag emitted a roar like a supersonic boom, only to become whisper-quiet as the gear-changing knob raised up from the console. As I was driving home, the 510 hp was unlike anything I've driven before. The car responds like a rocket! With minimal gas it accelerates before you have time to blink again emitting the unmistakable Jag roar. The handling is amazing! The style is to die for - it is the best- looking car out there! Almost everything about this car is top-notch.

Best GT Sports Car for the money

The Jaguar XK series 2012 - 2015 are beyond beautiful, very dependable, ultra comfortable and a pleasure to drive. No other grand touring sports car comes close to the now discontinued XK or XKR for value. The new F Type is a great sports car too, but many of us prefer the larger XK for a comfortable daily driver that can still pin you back into the seats with awesome acceleration and great handling. Very few drivers are skilled enough to take this car to it's limits. I didn't give it 5 stars only because of the outdated electronics and navigation program. Everything else is classic Jaguar grand touring luxury with more room than the new F type. The XK's went out of production after 2015 and the 2012 through 2015 cars are an exceptional value today compared to anything in it's class. Find a well cared for, low mileage XK series car and keep it forever. You will be glad you did.

Big cat got Angrier

Lease ended on a 6 series BMW, test drove this bad boy with no intention of switching brands. Got blown away by the better power, slick lines (Jr Aston Martin), and luxury accents of this car. Get more compliments that I ever did with the 6 series, and saved some money in the process. Ian Callum (Use to be with Aston Martin, now designs the latest jags?) , job well done.

Love my XKR

The car is very quick with instant power. The cabin is as nice as one would expect from jaguar. Service is very reasonable. Oil change and engine review cost $179. Car requires one oil change per year. The lines of the car are perfect and the look is very distinctive versus those of MBZ, BMW and Audi. The looks blow the German competitors away.

What a growling Cat!!

I bought a 3 year old 2010 XK Convertible in Indigo with the Cashmere interior. It had 25,000+ miles but looked and drove like brand new. I had a 2 day trip from Detroit, where I bought the car, back to DFW, Texas. The responsiveness of the throttle is simply amazing...even with "only" 385hp.. LOL. The fit and finish are outstanding. The suspension is a bit firm, but I guess that's the price you have to pay for such performance and handling. I generally get 18mpg on my commute to work and got 22+mpg on the road trip in from Michigan. The sat radio does seem to drop out quicker than my Lexus, but the audio response of the Bowers and Wilkins system is amazing. Truly a great car.

Great car value!

This car is lovely, great performance and sound. Warranty us unbeatable!! Although no major issues at all when even there is anything minor such as a small blemish on the leather dash, jaguar replaces the whole dash at no charge. This car turns heads and is a bargain on the used market! Highly recommend! Sorry this is a base XK which has plenty of power, the drop down would not let me select the correct model and year which purchased which was 2014. A

affordable and exhilarating luxury and comfort

Great car. One of the most beautiful automobiles ever made and constantly get compliments. Ageless design. Amazing thrust, brakes are just right for such power, comfortable for long or short trips. Handles smoothly and can take just about any curves as well as a great highway tourer. Quiet and well built with luxury touches all around. It’s 3 years later and it’s exactly the same. Love this car Sold it and I really miss it!

Sexy look and Sport

I finally purchased a 2010 XKR Coupe, after testing Mercedes E63 AMG, BMW Ms, Audi S5/6.. My wife immediately felt in love when she saw it "It's like an Ashton Martin !" she told me, yep we know why, same designer. That was a good start! But not enough for me. On paper the specifications are already very impressive, but it's really when you start to drive it that you realize what it really means. This car has it all ! It can be very soft and you can feel like in a lounge, but in a minute later, you switch on the "S" mode, press the accelerator, and you truly have a race car, and you can't believe you are already over speed limit (noises very well filtered). An eye catcher for sure!

150 is like a walk in the park

This car positively devours miles on long road trips. I picked up mine used in NYC and immediately drove it home to Oregon. Amazing drive back through a combination of interstate and back road highways. Very stable all the way up to 155 where the speed limiter puts an end to the locomotive pull. It is surprisingly quiet with the top up. With it down, the optional wind screen with the windows rolled up makes for a very calm cabin at speed. Seats are comfortable even on very long trips. Corners great at all speeds. The paddle shifters work well and are quick and responsive. Brakes scrub off big speed nicely. Active exhaust sound cool when bypassing muffler. You can get two kids (probably up to age 14) in the back but both the driver and passenger need to move the seats up quite a bit. Trunk is one of the smaller I have seen. Back seats make better storage than seats. I've so far put 5K miles on it (in about 3 weeks)and blew out a CV boot ($450 repair). I'm guessing it had something to do with many trips deep into triple digits. Other than that, its been good so far.

Weeee!

Plenty of "giddy-up-go" with the normally aspirated engine (385 hp.). Ride is a bit stiff not silky smooth as the sales brochure implies, but then again it's a sport-touring vehicle. Interior is superb. The car is classed as a Portfolio edition with some extra options. There is no oil dipstick - electronic readout on dash. Trunk is a bit tight, hard to get one set of golf clubs in it. Uses plastic head lamp covers as compared to my '05 XK8 glass ones (tacky plastic that'll likely get yellowed, glazed & scratched in time). No sunglass compartment built into left side of dash as there was in my '05 XK8. Reliable, well built & gorgeous design - a real head turner. Classy car & well balanced simple design. Had local dealer program "daylight running lights" on for safety. Now trying to see if a rearview camera can be installed. Overall, I love it even though it has no variable utility other than getting from point A to point B in style...I use my '14 GMC Terrain for grunt duty. Just bought a "T" shirt: "YOU CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS, BUT YOU CAN BUY A JAGUAR XK AND THAT'S KIND OF THE SAME THING"

Great Car

Fast as hell. Comfortable ride. Nothing wrong with the car.

This Jag Rocks

I love it. My wife is so bored listening to me talk to people about it. Bottom line, the Jaguar X KR has an elegance to it that turns heads. Little kids notice it. People can't help but appreciate the sweetness, appearance, and timelessness of it's design. And it sounds great too. The power, 515 hp, is a given. The color is "Midnight black" and has flecks of blue throughout. If you're considering purchasing one, enjoy!

Perhaps the flat out best car on the planet

Just bought my new 2011 XKR Convertible 5 weeks ago. I can't begin to tell everyone out there how amazing this car is. Had a 2007 on a 2 year lease a few years back and that was just the 300hp XK. I thought that car was wicked. How wrong I was. Never has so much power been combined with such grace. Great looks, flat out astounding performance, and finally I feel like a rock star again. Can't wait to go to work in the morning. Can't wait to go anywhere in this car. Wow. Love it.

XKRS sports car or GT?

It does a pretty good job of being both but it is too heavy to be a true sports car but it can keep up! I've owned both the XKR and XKRS. The XKRS took care of almost all of the handling issues that I had with the XKR. But it is still prone to swapping ends and it gives you almost no notice that it's going to break loose. It sticks really good but when the stick is gone you have to be very good at drifting to catch it. Otherwise it is probably one of the best GT cars ever! Turn-in is great. It would be nice if it had a bit less torque. You have to be very careful with the gas to keep the wheels from spinning. I think most people that buy Jags would be happier with the XKR for that reason.

Better than I had hoped!

This is the best car I have ever owned and that includes a lot of great cars (even a new 1974 XKE convertible). Before I bought it, I compared it to test drives of the MB SL 500, the Porsche Carrera and BMW 650I. The XKR won the comparison easily IMO. The acceleration from any speed is awesome. People are always pulling-up alongside to tell me how great it looks and sounds! Better city mileage than the 2008 BMW 750I I had before this car. Much simpler to operate than a BMW. I wanted a fantastic GT and now I have one. Jaguar's motto of "Grace with Pace" says it all. I will keep this car forever!

2010 JAGUAR XK CONVERTIBLE

Purchased in nov 2019 with 36 k miles. Car did not have a clean car fax,however, the previous damage was cosmetic on the right rear quarter panel. I've now driven it 2 k miles and although the (non-jaguar) selling dealer claimed it was serviced, i went ahead and had a full service performed,including new tires, rotors & pads. Car drives as if it was new, and loves to go +90 mph!!! It is silver blue with navy soft top,and cream leather seats.Everything works!!! This is my 4 th jaguar, all"post Ford motor company" and all have been way superior than the mbz's, BMW's, Lexus' ,etc, only regular maintenance, "no check engine lights -ever!" sir ian callum, current and long-time jaguar chief designer never ceases to amaze! Love,love, love, my 2010 xk

XKRS - After 1 Year, Still Exciting!

No rattles or repairs. I've had it on the track twice. Each time was a full day and there is still life in the P zeros! The car loves to be driven on the track hard. No break fade or overheating, it just wants more! On the street it is not high strung or difficult to drive but very smooth and easy. The stability control system in track mode is so liberal that I can't tell the difference from track mode and full off! The car sticks like it has glue on the tires but it does have snap over-steer and needs to be driven with respect if you intend to drive with the traction control in track mode of off (not!). The rear end can be very light and twitchy but that is part of what makes it exciting! A couple of years later: I traded the XKRS in for an F Type R. The F Type R is a far better sports car but the XKRS is a great GT car. I miss the XKRS. The back seats were very convenient. I never had a problem with the car during my 3 years of ownership. The problem with the XKRS is the snap over-steer. If you leave the stability control system on the car is perfectly safe and fun to drive. Jaguar has a way of making their cars feel special. When ever I get in and start getting the car ready to drive I can feel my heart step up a beat with excitement. It's really hard to put your finger on what exactly makes driving a Jaguar exciting. My Father's BMW 740 didn't do that for me and neither has any other car that I have driven. I guess that's why I keep buying Jaguars. A neighbor from down the street asked me if I worked for Jaguar because of all the different Jaguars that he has seen in front of my house. I said no I just like them.

Expectation Winner

This car has surpassed my expectations in terms of performance and exhaust sound. I really enjoy driving it. More than my 3 year old 2008 911 4S Cab. I am a loyal fan and believer now.

5 Star Fun

This car is comfortable and a blast to drive. Plan on keeping it as long as I can get in and out of it. A classic in my view.

Love it

I use my XK R-S convertible as an everyday driver and I love it. Its good in traffic, or if I'm out for a joy ride. The acceleration is stupefying and I haven't had any issues with the car at all.

Jaguar exceeded my expecations!

I bought a "fire enging red" XKR convertible with tan top, tan interior, plus chrome wheels. Previously I have a similar XK8 convertible. Guys shout compliments at me from the sidewalk as I go by. Jaguar has created an elegant design with a monster engine!

2010 XKR Coupe

I recently purchased the 2010 XKR Coupe, after testing Mercedes, BMW (My wife didn't like the design of the E63 AMG or BMW Ms as much as the XKR).I do really enjoy every minute I drive it. The car design is amazing (in particular with the 20 Inch Wheels), and while it's really fast, it's never brutal. The interior filters very well the exterior noises. The seats are top notch and you can easily find your perfect driving position. You can drive for hours and not getting tired. The brakes are very strong (expected !). So far my mileage is 17 mpg Avg. (No gas Guzzler Tax compare to the E63 AMG) A fantastic GT, and an eye catcher (same designer than Ashton Martin)

Sexy Pussycat

Awesome, Love it, can't Believe the Attention. Gathers crowd. Everywhere I Go.

what a car!!!!

I have a 2011 xkr and it is a fantastic car - great grand tourer with plenty of room for 2 passengers and a back set to to put a few things on, plus power available when ever needed. The supercharged engine is strong, fast and responsive. My only problem is I can't think of a car to replace it, so I will keep driving it

What a Cat!!!!!

My previous car was Jaguar 2007 XK convertible, which I thought could not really be improved on. Well, I was wrong! Kudos to Tata for making Jag even better and luxurious; Ford has made a big mistake selling it! When I first turned on the engine of my new Salsa Red XKR with charcoal interior, I was blown away by the sound! Few minutes later I was blown away by the engine power. This is the most amazing car! It grabs attention everywhere. It is gorgeous, fast, slick. Interior is to die for! Dealership was fantastic!

Classy, Elegant and Fun!

Have the Special Edition with Portfolio package. It’s just a beautiful car with unique Crystal Silver Blue paint that gets comments every time I gas up! It has the 20 inch low profile tires and special rims that are just bitchen! In sport mode it’s plenty fun and sporty with a plush ride when taking it easy or on the hiway. Has a Killer stereo and beautiful interior with plenty of goodies to keep you comfortable! Haven’t had any problems but only have had it for 3 months. It was reasonable in price compared to its original price and came with a 4 year 45K mile bumper to bumper warranty. ($2500 extra). So far I couldn’t be happier! So far it’s a definite keeper!

2010 XKR CONV.

Purchased both the XKR and XF sedan. The XKR conv. is fantastic. No complaints. Fast and furious when needed! Interior and body quality excellent. I think they are great cars. Jaguar has come a long way!!

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!

Fun! Fun! Fun!

Sits two comfortably, the back seat works for kids. Lots of fun to drive. Can’t wait to pick mine up! Lots of pep and a beautiful car!

Why I love my Jag convertible

It screams wealth & power

XKR kicks butt

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.

2013 JAGUAR XKR SPECIAL EDITION

One of the best vehicles I've ever owned I have a handful! The car says more about its owner than it does being an automobile.

beautiful car

Love the ride in my convertible - lots of power, lots of luxury, lots of looks. Some people don't like the British quality - but I've had no issues, other than a few minor things that I could take care of. Do your research, you'll need a battary Maintainer, and hopefully lots of sun 🌞 to enjoy

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!

Soul mate

Make sure you can drive as this car can be a handful. A few simple mods unleashes the car as it should be totally luv mine an awesome car.

Soon available to a good home!

Have loved this car!
