Overview & Reviews

Trying hard to keep up with blossoming competition, Jaguar makes significant modifications to its sports car. Changes to the exterior are limited to different wheels, slightly different badging, available (standard on the R) xenon headlamps and some new colors, including a lovely Jaguar Racing Green. The most important alterations lie under the hood, with two new engines managed by a six-speed automatic transmission. Standard safety equipment now includes a stability control system and BrakeAssist. In all, there are 900 changes to Jaguar's beautiful XK.

• Divine exterior shape, supercharged V8 engine, good balance between luxury and performance.

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

  Awesome British motoring - 2003 Jaguar XK-Series
  By WL - October 3 - 2:00 am

  Owning one of these Jags is like owning a piece of history. Most people dont realize that the XJ and XK series are still hand assembled over in Conventry. All the leather and woodwork is still done by hand! Only the British can produce something so beautiful. I cant tell you how many people have come up to me on the street to comment on its beauty (can you blame them?) I am very impressed with Jaguars realiability improvements. I dont have to pay for anything for 4 years, not even oil changes! I absolutely love this car and seeing them made in England has made me a fanatic. I would highly recommend a tour in Coventry for all of you Jag lovers.

  Pax Britannia - 2003 Jaguar XK-Series
  By winston - August 20 - 2:00 am

  British cool and class all rolled into this beautiful aluminium jewel of the crown. Mercedes SL is a good alternative but its interior is too cheap in appearance. Besides, its cheaper SLK version steals the thunder while the Jag XK series exclusivity is assured. There is no mistaking the XK8 as a cheap Jaguar. If anything, the XK8 represents everything that Jaguar stands for. Long live its designer, Sir Ian Callum!

  Elegance & beauty - 2003 Jaguar XK-Series
  By Sonni - September 26 - 12:36 pm

  Beautiful sleek profile--I love the look and style. Gorgeous wood dash. Fabulous power--gotta watch the speed. Strangers stop and stare and comment that they love my car--me too. Even the 25-26 mpg was a pleasant surprise.

  Bad news when problems happen - 2003 Jaguar XK-Series
  By PerryR - March 27 - 10:00 am

  I just had my 2003XKR break down while I on a trip. My steering went out. Jahuar does not keep replacement parts! They kept telling me "next day" stories on when it would be fixed. After almost three weeks I got the car back. Now I am getting the roal run around on what they promised to reimbusement for travel to get back home. Beware...this company wants to sell you a car, but does not live up to any of the after the sale promises. Its always a story as to why someone else gave you wron information.

  XKR Coupe 03 - 2003 Jaguar XK-Series
  By XKR=SWEET - January 7 - 2:00 am

  The 03 XKR coupe coupled with the 20" wheels and the Brembro brake kit makes this car one the most appealing car on the road. In the past I had a 01 XKR coupe and Ive noticed hardly any differeces on the 03 car except cosmetics. The 400Hp gives the exact same result of the 01.

  Know what it is. - 2003 Jaguar XK-Series
  By Mr Dearborn - March 30 - 8:06 pm

  The XKR is a touring car, not a race car. People often get caught up in statistics when evaluating cars in this category. The XKR is heavier than other sports cars so it is slower in 0-60 times and around a track. You do get something though from the weight - leather and wood everywhere. Sitting in an XKR is a thrill in itself let alone driving it. And it is plenty fast with 400bhp. There are some quirks and design flaws on the XKR that you wouldnt find on a German car but the XKR seethes passion unlike its rivals. It is gorgeous to look at and a very rare car, the coupe especially; people will stare. In short, when I feel like getting out of town for a weekend, this car is perfect.
