"Beautiful inside and out, love the sound of the engine turning over, solids ride, great handling, so easy and fun to drive. Stereo sounds great even with top down. Does not rattle with top up like all other convertibles I've been in. Heated seats and lack of rattling make this a year round car."

"Great toy for sunny days, could easily get into trouble with bears. Love the body style which does not change from 97 to 06. Fits like a glove."

"This car is the cats meow....no pun intended. You feel like royalty tooling around in this SLEEEEK coupe. Mine is ONE OF 44 made in Sapphire Blue. The ZF transmission is as smooth as silk. I have owned it since 2006......ZERO PROBLEMS....knock on wood. This is a one owner dealer maintained car. This stunning cat GROWLS to be floored to unleash the 300 horses under the hood. Top speed is 162 MPH. She sure pulls away from the BMWs. I would buy this car again. I dont have to worry about someone having the same vehicle. This piece is SUPER RARE!!!!Paintxpert Stratford, Ct."

"XK8 is a great driving machine with a lot of eye appeal. Handles great with a great interior design with the fabulous wood grain throughout. Down side is the expense to maintain and not for a large person because of difficulty to get in and out of auto."

"I cant believe how good Jaguars have gotten. They used to have a lot of problems. Now they still run & look like a Jag but they're dependable like a Mercedes. Smooth, smooth,smooth, there's no sensation of speed in this car."
