https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/t-Used-Jaguar-XK-Series-XKR-S-Coupe-RWD-t39331 I was having a hard time saying no to this one. https://static.cargurus.com/images/f...-1024x768.jpeg https://static.cargurus.com/images/f...-1024x768.jpeg https://static.cargurus.com/images/f...-1024x768.jpeg |
My wife loves her 2014 XKR for its beauty and 510 supercharged hp (quarter mile in 12.7 seconds) when she’s trying to get on the freeway. I don’t drive it much since I acquired a 2020 F Type SVR. It makes 575 hp, runs the quarter in 11.2 seconds and makes terrific noises! I’ve been impressed with their dependability. All we have done is have them serviced annually. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656302419.jpg

I looked at F Types, too short for it, could not find a comfortable seating position and still see out of the thing. Also the interior was too claustrophobic for my taste. |
They are factory wheels - 20 inch Takoba.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656304938.jpg

I was shocked to learn that the XK (the X150 is the version I checked out) has a reputation for ... wait for it ... reliability. I didn't think Jaguar and reliability were ever used in the same sentence :D But after doing much research on the Jag forums, it's true. My '07 has been rock solid. V8, RWD, staggered wheels, aluminum chassis and body - what's not to like? Just a really great GT.

Something I noticed this weekend.
Took the wife out to dinner and the back road is a somewhat enjoyable ride. I'd already thought the shift points were pretty spot on perfect. While slowing down even for a full stop these things downshift into engine braking even in standard full auto granny mode. Don't think I've ever driven an auto that did that. |
I have both a Corvette and the Jag.
They are very different cars. The current gen Mustang on the other hand is much closer to the Jag. Quote:
In my case I don't like what it adapts for me as it ends up very tame. I'd rather a punchy auto mode and I can keep it gentle in the paddle mode. Quote:

Beautiful cars.

Is this a bit like you had in mind?
They stopped making this color on 2012+ XKR's, XK only from then on. http://images.chicagosportscars.com/...s/52970886.jpg Quote:

I know you are in TX, but what do you think about the size? It looks rather large.
|
Compared to my 944 it was a huge step.
It is even bigger than it looks. That said, its easy to drive which somewhat makes up for the size. Quote:

Very similar to my old VR4. |
I drive my XJS all of the time, completely reliable. Well.. After a lot of work. The Teves II braking system can...
Edited: This that really necessary? |
Ouch.
