2001 Jaguar XK8 consumer reviews

Absolutely the best drop-top bargain ride - a beautiful car that runs great! Get one while the prices are depressed. Cheaper than a convertible Mustang Gt but WAY cooler!

My wife and I bought our '01 XK8 in 2008 with 29,000 miles on it. We needed a second car for fun weekend getaways. What other convertible can give you room for two sets of golf clubs and two weekend bags? It has a smooth ride, good fuel economy (27 Hwy), and outstanding looks. It is not a car you see every day, and we frequently get comments from passers-by saying how great it looks. Mechanically, the only problem has been the fuel pump. We replaced the tires a couple of years ago because the rubber dried out and began to crack on the sidewalls.

VERY FUN CAR TO DRIVE FAST TOO IT TURNS HEADS : ) it will be just as fun to drive long trips people are jealous hahaha

Fun to drive in town and highway. Night time driving with the top down is unbelievable. Put on 6500 miles in 2 months no problems

The finest (and I've had Porsche 356, 912 & 914/6cyl, BMW7,2 Vettes, 3 Caddies, Mustangs and nothing compares to this overall. Superb reliability (better than the 96 Vette) and the compliments are unreal. Exceptional performance, but civilized. The seats could hug better on hard corners, but if that's the only complaint...well just look at it.

A sheer delight to drive, the comfort of a large car with the performance and handling of a true sportscar.
