  • Shoulda gone for the R - 2002 Jaguar XK-Series

    I love driving this car, and I wish it had more amenities, like the BMW 7 series. If you can, go for the XKR: while the XK8 is great, the extra--wheels and the nav system--make it all the more worthwhile.

    The only thing I could find wrong with this car is that the interior is not up to Jaguar standards, even though it is more sport-oriented than the others. Jaguar is known for their Connolly leather and acres of trees chopped down for wood paneling, and this doesnt have enough of it, but other than that, it is a great car.

  • great looks, but disappointing performer - 2002 Jaguar XK-Series
    By -

    This car is gorgeous...it has a great ride, always garners stares and compliments...but it is so disappointing to drive even a little bit sporty...all because of seats that seem like theyre straight out of a 1970s Cadillac. The seats have no side bolster support whatsoever...take a left corner at anything above granny speed and youll likely end up in the passenger seat...plus, the seats have terrible lumbar support. Im really amazed...the less "sporty" XJR sedan and even the lowly X-Type have much better seats than this "top-of-the line" supposedly sportiest of cats.

  • XKR 100 Coupe First Impressions - 2002 Jaguar XK-Series
    By -

    High performance, incredible luxury! Tackles any road at crazy speeds. Braking is outstanding, throttle response especially quick, gas pedal feedback too light. Engine is smooth, quiet, very torquey. Automatic trans is excellent; 6-speed would be more fun! Steering is tight and predictable, too insulated from "road feel". Recaro seats are spectacular. Buttons are "Fordish", but intuitive. Gas door/trunk release are too easily bumped. Sound system is great, needs in-dash CD player. Nav system accuracy and capabilities are better than most. Overall: Far classier than anything in its class. Interior luxury to match exterior sexiness. A spectacular car!

  • Finally Found The Perfect Car (for me anyway...) - 2002 Jaguar XK-Series
    By -

    I bought my 2002 XK8 in December 2011 with just 47,000 miles on it. Ive never owned a Jaguar but after an exhaustive search for a luxurious coupe and being open to just about anything, I could not find anything out there in a reasonable price range until I started researching the 1997-2006 Jaguar XK series. It took a while to find the right one, but I finally found a black on black coupe for sale in Philadelphia. I drove it 1500 miles over a weekend back to Minnesota and absolutely love everything about it. Power, handling, comfort, luxury and the most unique and beautiful styling Ive ever seen. Get one!! You wont be disappointed
