    5 Stars Super-cool, Supercar Jag, for Vectra Money Review with images 12/12/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Big and purry

    Disadvantages Disadvantages has a drinking problem, reliability issues???

    The XK8, its been around for a while now. Since 1996 the Browns Lane factory near Coventry has been churning out these subtle beasts. There have been a number of minor changes to the styling and specifications during that time, but ultimately, the car has stayed the same - an evolution and modern predecessor of the heart-achingly beautiful 60's E-Type. Shortly, the production will cease, making way for the next generation XK that no doubt, will be as equally stunning, yet equally as fast as the current model. Since its launch in 96', the XK series has always been the flagship for the company ... more

    Advantages Advantages Pure Sexiness, Raw Power, Extravigant Luxury

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None I can think of!

    I started getting into Jaguar's about a year ago, and bought myself a P reg XJ6 (which was very nice... but a bit 'Old man') - Having recently moved house, and released some capital, I thought it was about time I got myself another car. Bearing in mind that a new XK costs in excess of £50,000, it was nice to see that you could pick up a 6-7 year old one for under £13,000. A quick scoot around Auto Trader and a few other websites, and I managed to get myself an XK8 4.0 V8 Coupe with 85,000 on the clock for £11,000 (complete with full Jaguar service history) on a 1999 (P) plate. Ok, onto the ... more

    5 Stars Big beautiful cat Review with images 16/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very inexpensive to buy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Potentially very expensive to run

    This is a large beautiful sleek Grand Turismo (GT) car, not really a "sports" car. It is often compared with the Porsche 911 but I think it is more like a traditional Aston Martin in character. It is smooth, very powerful and fast and extremely comfortable, if you are in the front. The rear seats are almost pointless, but look great, beautifully covered in expensive leather. I've never tried sitting in them, as I would probably never be able to get out again. Ideal for some luggage. The boot is big enough for a couple of fairly large sized suitcases. More than enough for a couple of weeks ... more

    Advantages Advantages A dream on four wheels

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Don't think I can afford one any time soon!

    I have just been a very lucky missbrowneyedgirl! It is somewhat of a tradition in our family to have Good Friday fish and chips at my Uncle's house, so the browneyed family arrived there promptly at 12:30 and what was sat in the garden but a beautiful navy blue Jaguar XK8! I pointed out to mrbrowneyeduncle that it looked a little messy sat there in the middle of the garden, and he promptly handed over the keys in order for me to take it for a spin, thus removing it's presence from the grass. Well, what's a girl supposed to do?...;) Firstly the interior of the car is spectacularly classy. Cream ... more

    5 Stars What a dream 14/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It is a dream both to own and drive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overseas influence

    Having owned my XK8 for over six months and covered 8000 miles, I still have nothing but praise for this automobile. What a shame we couldn’t make this product without help from over the water. Now that's my dream over. Now for my opinion as I have only had a test drive. The car looks and drives fantastic. I would opt for the CATS suspension (as fitted on the XKR) and am impressed how such a large car handles. Still not as nimble as many two seater sports models but as a grand tourer, not much betters this machine. Build quality is faultless. The car in meteorite silver looks gorgeous ... more
