Overview & Reviews

For 2001, there are standard child seat-anchor points for the rear seats and a reverse parking-control system. The premium audio system with a six-disc CD changer and the GPS navigation system are now standard equipment on XK8s. Topping things off are minor exterior styling changes and a new no-cost scheduled maintenance program that covers four regular service visits under the four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty.

• Divine exterior shape, supercharged engine in XKR form, good balance between luxury and performance.

• Cramped interior space, cheap-o plastics, fussy GPS system.

  Beautiful, Reliable and Still Great - 2001 Jaguar XK-Series
  By ed orgon - December 31 - 4:36 am

  Have had this vehicle for more than 7 years, and still outperforms others. Has been SUPER reliable, no mechanical, build or cosmetic issues AT ALL. Only my usual Mobil 1 oil changes.

  Wonderful looks, great ride, very plush. Only complaint is lack of real comfort. Bottom line: I love this car.

  This is my 6th Jaguar and my second Jag convertible. Jag has really improved since the xjs conv. I love the exterior styling and the AJ-V8 engine.

  2001 XK8 - 2001 Jaguar XK-Series
  By mercedes1 - January 5 - 5:03 pm

  I considered models of four cars I have owned in the past. Namely Porsche 993, Mercedes SL500, Corvette and another 993/996. This time I bought an XK8 after due consideration. It had 14,000 miles on it. I probably would not have bought it except that because they depreciate so fast I got one for just over 30K. I am favorably impressed with the car. It combines a gorgeous sports car look with pretty good performance, very good gas mileage (26 mpg hghway), good ride and handling and a lot of creature comforts. Since my wife liked the car at test drive time it was an easy sell for me. No complaints.

  I took a chance and won! - 2001 Jaguar XK-Series
  By Jag Believer - July 17 - 12:16 am

  I never considered the XK8 until my first up close look. Even with the top up, four can fit comfortably, yet snuggly, if you simply adjust the front seats to accommodate the legroom in the back. I got caught in a snowstorm and romped on it to see how it handled and I was quite impressed. You can’t get the wheels to spin unless you deselect traction control. I highly recommend forgetting the rest for anyone wanting a true world class rag top, particularly if a two seater just won’t do.

  Great choice for free - 2001 Jaguar XK-Series
  By Drunkchef - April 14 - 6:06 am

  I had had all real makes, and this one rocks, bought it for $13,000 with 55k on it, replaced the tensioners straight away with metal ones as this is the only issue with this car. Bought an amazing sports car for free basically, cant even get a Kia for this price, highly recommended !!!!

  used is ok too - 2001 Jaguar XK-Series
  By mesamark - March 29 - 7:23 am

  This car has been an excellent vehicle as the second owner. Fuel economy for a V-8 has been very good. The only caution is it is very gas sensitive, meaning lower quality premium fuel will impact performance significantly. Id recommend the car to anyone
