A Fantastic Head-Turning GT Sports Car
Scott in PA, 08/01/2020
2008 Jaguar XK-Series
MB SL550's are the rage, and if not for their wallet-swallowing abilities for mundane repairs I might own one. Looking for a convertible GT car, after the SL there are relatively few choices. Came across a 2008 XKR Convertible with 36k miles....price seemed fair, and home it went. I have not been able to wipe the smile off my face since. First, it's a stunner to look at. Think Aston … Martin DB9 (Oh, it was designed by the same man). Second, it rockets down the highway well into triple digits with a confidence usually reserved for larger German Sedans (see review of my current Audi A8 4.0 2015 model). The XKR dives gloriously into corners, and gives you just enough hint of understeer to let you know to keep the rear end in line. After all, it is not a sports car, it's a GT, right? The suspension is perfect... compliant shocks that absorb everything the road throws at you, and stiffness to hold the line in long sweepers while negating all body roll. Then there is the "sport" mode, which actually does more than just alter shift points. It keeps the engine way up in the rev range to maximize your fun on country roads. The Supercharged V8 responds near-instantaneously and upshifts and downshifts are precise and smooth. The fit and finish is first rate. Wind buffeting at 70mph is minimal... conversations are capable up to 70 without shouting. And the car has a seriously good Alpine stereo so everyone can hear Led Zeppelin when I drop the top in only 18 seconds. The cons are few: Pac Man graphics for the NAV, limited trip computer information and a lack of significant gauges (temp/oil/volts) are about it. Top-up, the ride is much quieter than many hardtop sedans and frankly the road/tire noise is less than my A8. I'll garage it over the winter months, and if reliability holds up, this will certainly be a long-term keeper.
