  • Wow, its all Jag - 2005 Jaguar XK-Series
    By -

    When trying to discribe my experience with the jag the word Wow comes to mind. Id say its the most bang for the buck, even though it takes many bucks. I have four of the older models, two XK roadsters, and its preformance is light-years away ahead of the older jags. Its a car I love to drive. I do have to learn how to handle the speed....its fast.

  • Limited Edition Carbon Fiber - 2005 Jaguar XK-Series
    By -

    I bought this car for its looks and fuel economy. I love the 19" wheels and the fact that this was a limited edition. The only thing that really bothers me about this car is that there is no cd player on the dash, and I have to go in the trunk to change the cds.

  • LOVE THIS CAR - 2005 Jaguar XK-Series

    THIS IS MY FAVORITE CAR SO FAR, THAT I HAVE HAD. ITS A PERFECT SIZE. YOU DONT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING A LITTLE CONVERTIBLE WHEN YOU ARE IN IT. I DONT THINK ITS A RACING CAR IF THATS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. BUT, ITS ALOT OF FUN TO DRIVE AROUND.THE BODY STYLE MAKES IT SO EASY TO KEEP CLEAN TOO.ITS ALSO GOT A GREAT SOUND SYSTEM.I INTENTED TO KEEP MINE FOREVER.

  • Excellent car to pwn! - 2005 Jaguar XK-Series

    Clean finish. Nice quality interior detail. Smooth quick acceleration. Looks like it costs twice as much. A true winner!

  • An experience you’ll never forget! - 2005 Jaguar XK-Series
    By -

    Just looking at this car makes you feel sleek, stylish, and dangerous. With 400hp under the hood there’s nothing holding you back. The coupe has a much sportier look than the “convertible” that everyone has. When you’re driving the coupe it feels like you’re the only one on the planet that has one and everyone wants to know, “how much was that”, or “where did you get it”. Untouchably the nicest sports car I’ve ever owned, it’ll make you feel like a million bucks. - 07/17/2004 Wayne Cain -

  • Ultimate Luxury - 2005 Jaguar XK-Series
    By -

    This car is the ultimate luxury vehicle. The styling remains up-to-date even after several years on the market. People continuously expess their approval. The car is a comfortable road car with great performance. The miles just seem to melt away. As an added bonus, the boot will hold two sets of golf clubs.

  • A beautiful car - 2005 Jaguar XK-Series
    By -

    This is my second XKR. Before that I owned XK8s. This is the best one yet. An absolutely beautiful car and "tight" No squeeks over bumps - super solid. Everything about the car says "power"and its so. The only additional feature I would wish for is an automatic tire pressure regulator. One last thought..the door handles are chrome - it would be nice if they were rubber coated. Here in Arizona after sitting in the sun they get hot, hot, hot.

  • Gotta Have it - 2005 Jaguar XK-Series
    By -

    Have the Jaq Green. I have had numerous people come up to me and say what a beautiful car. Some are not aware of the reliablity yet and only recall the problems of the Jags of the 60s. This is a whole new machine. Our second one in 3 years. Very comfortable, drove straight through to Florida.
