    I have one, and like it very much; up to a point.

    If you are after comfort and looks, this is the car for you, but, and here's the big but, be prepared to spend more than normal for maintenance. It is a Jaguar, and that is a small company, and there are not that many dealers to take the car to, and when you do, bring a full wallet or a very good credit card. Not a sports car. This is a grand touring car, and not something for the race track. It is pretty quick for what it is, and it does handle well.

    A solid design and fun comfy ride for a sports car

    For a SPORT vehicle. . . surprisingly comfortable. Stable. Secure ride. For city and highway. Inexpensive as used. . . as a four passenger seating area. . . not for family with children. Rear seating is close and best used for shopping items. Once repairs are done they last. The 1999 Jaguar xk8 convertible. inexpensive to Insure as a classic.

    Back to the Future

    I have owned many sports cars over the years. Several British cars including MGBs, Sunbeams and have spent hours driving XK150s and XKEs. In addition to the XK8 I own a 2005 SL55. I had an opportunity to purchase my 1999 XK8 from the first owner with 40,000 miles. The price was so reasonable I could not pass it up. I though I would flip it and double my money. Once I got behind he wheel I could not let it go. It drives and handles like a Jaguar. I’m not sure how they did it the handling and driving experience are totally retro which I love. This is nothing like an SL. The seats are softer. The acceleration seamless. I really love this car and suspect it will be in my stable for a long time!

    This is very reliable car

    The car met my needs for 14 years. It has very few problems, nothing that was not fixable. And it has all been fixed and repainted.

    Top Luxury and Performance for Economy Car Prices

    First, the XK8 is gorgeous! It rivals it's grandfather, the E-Type Jaguar, in the looks and exceeds it in performance and comfort. Standard equipment includes options from other manufacturers, like ABS, leather interior, skid control, climate control, etc. I have owned ten Jaguars and this one is the tops for comfort and features. The ride is comfortable but the car can corner like a sports car. The rich wood and leather interior is like an English Club. The exhaust note is quiet unless one hits the accelerator hard at which time the Jaguar will snarl in response. Other than poor depreciation -- which makes them affordable for the second and third owners -- the XK8 rates a 9.5 out of 10.

    VERY BEAUTIFUL CAR

    I have owned 2 other Jags and this XK8 is the most eye catching one of them all. The handling is sweat and the lines of the car in like no other. I love driving down the street and watching folks point and steer at the car. Absolutely wonderful.

    An exotic sports car for the price of a Kia

    The Jaguar XK8 is natual successor to the venerable XK-E. The XK8 retains many of the design elements of the 60s era sports car pioneer, yet it is a modern, very well equipped sports car for today. Jaguar has solved the past quality problems that diminished the brand in the 70s and 80s, and the current cars among the best rated in terms of quality by JD Powers. The 1997 - 2006 model XK8 design is among the most beautiful of any car on the road. The 1997 - 1999 wood dash with analog guages is aestheticall the most pure - later years added a navigation system that in my view ruined the pure sports car looks. While this car is a boulevard cruiser rather than a flat out racer, it drives like a sports car. It handles like a dream, very precise, with a very small turning circle. And it snaps heads everywhere it goes. It is particularly attractive to women - drivers and passengers alike. The 290 HP V8 engine delivers the growl and torque one would hope for a car of this type. A late 90s model is a real steal - it is very affordable and allows Jaguar lovers to buy a weekend racer without breaking the bank.
