  Amazing!!! - 2006 Jaguar XK-Series
  By Jeramy - December 20 - 12:03 am

  Its a great car to drive, nice easy- going stability, acceleration is very fast. Its a semi-auto car. You can choose the power from 2 to 5 or for automatic put it in D or Drive. It says that itll go top speed: 170. The thing that I didnt like was it doesent have automatic and manual its only semi-auto its not where you can put it in M and shift like in a Ferrari.

  XKR The Only Way to go! - 2006 Jaguar XK-Series
  By Dan Geib - July 12 - 3:46 am

  I purchased this vehicle used from a private individual with low miles. I have enjoyed driving the car every time I get behind the wheel. This car is fast and tight and holds the road at any speed!

  So Far, So Great! - 2006 Jaguar XK-Series
  By Robert Mattingly - September 3 - 12:00 am

  I purchased the XKR for three reasons: the engine, styling; and, because I think its a better looking car then the soon-to-be-introduced XK. Plus, the price is about as right as its going to get as dealers clear them out. The XKR is not really a "sports car" but rather a "sporty" car. It doesnt handle in the same league with my old Porsche 911 but it rides much better-perhaps the best riding car Ive ever owned. I deleted the expensive 20 inch chrome plated wheel/tire combo, and replaced with the standard 18 inch tires and wheels,saved $5000 and got a better ride. The interior is beautiful if not particularly roomy. Overall, a great package of power, luxury and character.

  Jaguar XKR - 2006 Jaguar XK-Series
  By blairm - August 16 - 6:03 pm

  AS my third XK I was delighted to see this car the new "carbon" interior is a pleasant change from the traditional wood. My only regret is that the capability of the vehicle with its massive supercharger is reduced by the silly electronic limiters.

  Best Sports Car Ive Owned - 2006 Jaguar XK-Series
  By Charles Roller - December 22 - 6:10 pm

  This Jaguar Racing Green XKR is absolutely the finest and most enjoyable automobile Ive ever owned. The exterior styling is gorgeous, the interior stately and rich, and the power truly breath-taking. I cannot imagine any impovement that makes sense for this vehicle. Even the achieved city gas mileage figure is 16.9 mpg - quite a happy surprise. I havent taken the XKR on an extended highway trip yet, but fully expect to see 25+ mpg. Other than the high cost of entry, and reasonable but steep insurance premiums, this is an exceptional automobile that makes me smile every time I open the drivers door.

  Solid, Hearty and luxurious! I love this Jaguar. Convertible gives plenty of space, loads of leg room with plenty of trunk space and POWER behind the wheel!

  Love my Jag - 2006 Jaguar XK-Series
  By john webb - June 6 - 12:46 pm

  I looked at other mfgs like Benz and BMW. They just started looking alike. The Interior of the jag makes a statement and the body style stands out. Very large trunk space major plus over others and the backseat is very useful. It makes it easy to store items quickly. Back seat is a quick place to put items. The backseat was one of the feature that sold me.

  Superb Car - 2006 Jaguar XK-Series
  By Fred - January 13 - 12:40 pm

  Recently traded my XJR for an XKR. This car is so much superior and draws far more attention. The styling is timeless and the performance excellent for a touring car of this type. Not as much raw fun as my old TVR but still the best car Ive ever owned.
