Classy Lady

By Tommy (IL) on Wednesday, July 11, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 33,000

Pros: "Fun to drive."

Cons: "Uses premium fuel."

"My 2005 XK8 is, in my opinion, the most classy car on the road. Reliability has been great. Previous owners seem to tend to take exceptional care of these cars, but not always - so be careful if you are in the market for one. Enough power"

Ed (NJ) Headrest problems

By buck (MI) on Saturday, May 05, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 34,000

Pros: "Style, and cheap to buy"

Cons: "Realiabilty, cost of some parts ("R" models)"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 2

"Ed, per your problem with the headrest not working. Chances are the mechanical system (a beleive I was told it was a cable) has come detached. It happened to both my headrests when the car was 4 years old. A common problem (like the many Jags have)."

So glad I came back to a Jaguar.

By fredj (TX) on Wednesday, March 28, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 94,000

Pros: "Great driving experience. Smooth and svelte cat."

Cons: "Can be thirsty and wants premium."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Best decision I have made in some time. Loved my Audi, but for sheer grins per mile, the Jag wins easily. Looks great, handles well and is as comfortable as the sedans I have owned. Lots of car for the money."
