Jaguar XK8 4.2 Coupe

The Best Jaguar (Ciao Hitlist)

... Its £50k+ low-slung, elegant coupe that all discernable gentlemen may aspire to - the top rung of the Jaguar ladder. The car always has been, and still is, the epitome of grace, pace and (if slightly limited) space. The XK is available in 4 guises - the XK8, and the XKR, both of which ... Read review

Super-cool, Supercar Jag, for Vectra Money

Advantages: Big and purry
Disadvantages: has a drinking problem, reliability issues???

...the top rung of the Jaguar ladder. The car always has been, and still is, the epitome of grace, pace and (if slightly limited) space.

The XK is available in 4 guises - the XK8, and the XKR, both of which can be had as either a rag top, or a coupe. Earlier models come with a 4.0 V8, with the XKR adding a supercharger to the mix. The more recent versions have an enlarged version of this engine - now 4.2 litres. All cars come with Jaguars ...
...perfect example, 155mph, £50,000 new, Jaguar main dealer XK8 with all the whistles and bells on for the same price as a middle of the range diesel Vectra, or perhaps you were thinking of a poverty-spec 3 series. £20k won't even get you anywhere near the price of a bottom of the range Discovery, or a Merc C class for that matter. And that won't have leather, electric seats, climate control, any alloy wheels, let alone the 18"ers you get on the ... more

A real car, with a real engine and real class...

Advantages: Pure Sexiness, Raw Power, Extravigant Luxury
Disadvantages: None I can think of!

...for £11,000 (complete with full Jaguar service history) on a 1999 (P) plate. Ok, onto the car; As you look at the exterior, you are reminded of the old E-Type and the Aston Martin DB9. The bodywork lines are all smooth, with items such as headlamp washers neatly tucked inside behind a chrome plate that is incorporated into the lights. My model sports 18" Alloys, with Pirelli P-Zero (186mph+ rated) tyres, although 19" wheels are optionally available ...
...fit snugly under the roof-line, with the windows automatically lowering and closing a few millimetres when doors are opened and closed to ensure an air-tight fit. As you move around the car, you can see the body-lines stretched perfectly to the rear, where two chrome exhaust pipes issue (and make a statement that this has a *real* engine!) Opening the door reveals a swath of tan leather, (that several large cows obviously gave up the hide for), ...

Big beautiful cat

Advantages: Very inexpensive to buy
Disadvantages: Potentially very expensive to run

...XKR and servicing at a Jaguar main dealer is expensive, although obviously less expensive if you use a independent specialist. My servicing costs have averaged £410 per 10,000 miles using an independent specialist, but I may have been lucky. Always budget for a possible very large bill. Fuel consumption however is perhaps not as bad as it could be at about 20 to 24 mpg which is better than some comparable cars, such as Maserati coupes, Astons etc. ...

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Advantages: A dream on four wheels
Disadvantages: Don't think I can afford one any time soon!

...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 leather seats and a mahogany finished dashboard really create a feeling of extravagance! ...
...been slightly sluggish yet the Jaguar is far from that! In fact I positively flew out of the driveway after putting my foot on the accelerator. Another nice feature of the Jaguar is the hybrid gearbox. This means that it will function as a manual gearbox, alongside an automatic, offering 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. This is really useful for country roads as removing your foot from the accelerator leads the car to slow down as a manual car would. Also, ...

What a dream

Advantages: It is a dream both to own and drive
Disadvantages: Overseas influence

...long-term Jaguar image any good. (Could you imagine Ferrari announcing a model to compete with say a £30000 TVR?) I like the fact that even in Britain Jaguars are not common and have a degree of exclusivity. If Ford dilutes the Jaguar image, it may never manage to restore it. ...

Jaguar XK8

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: price

The Jaguar XK8 is quite simply the best car I have ever driven. The engine is beautiful smooth, refined yet extremely powerful. The engine a 4.0 V8 produces some 290bhp and the torque is equally impressive. What I think really works with this car is the exquisite mating to the 5 speed automatic gearbox. The box is smooth yet makes very quick and precise gear changes. The handling is good for a car of this size and despite the size, it is relatively ...
...there are better handling cars in this class perhaps the Porsche 911 it is the overall aspects of the car that make the XK8 great. Added to this is the fact that the XK8 is glorious to behold. If I were to describe the car I would say it is both the beauty and the beast rolled into one. ...
