2009 Jaguar XKR Portfolio Coupe

Drop dead gorgeous car. Turns heads at twice the rate my old Z4 or CLA does. This Jag is in another league entirely. Get the extended warranty just in case, but no issues to date aside from normal wear and tear. Most fun to drive car all around (grand touring/sports) that I've owned. So few of these on the road it gets attention everywhere it's driven. Punch the throttle down and it roars....a little further and the supercharger kicks in. Fit and finish on this car are superb. Not a rattle or squeak after 40k miles. The used ones go for 60% off after a few years of depreciation; you see 100 Corvette's a day, you may see one of these a summer here in the north. Best all around car I have ever owned....makes me smile like driving my first Camaro back in the day. Not many cars can pull that off.

2 Jags in a row!

Most trouble free sports car I have even owned. That inlcudes 1 Porsche, 2 Mercs, 1 Infiniti and the 2 Jags. Literally zero problems. Plus, luxury and performance is impressive versus competitors. Jag is back for sure.

Style, Comfort and Power

My second Jag, first was a 1997 XK8. This 2009 Portfolio is the bomb. The trans shifts are quick and smooth. Punch it, and it roars. Both these attributes greatly improved from the '97 XK. It scratches a bit too easy off the line, but its only been 2k miles so far, I'll get better. Prestige, and luxury. People are looking furtively and wondering what is it, or wishing they had it.

I'VE HAD PORSCHE 911 CARRARA, ROLLS ROYCE, MERCEDE

THE 2008, 09 10 XKR COVETABLE IS BY FAR THE TIGHTEST,QUIETEST, QUICKEST CAR, WITH TOTAL BABE MAGNET LOOKS, GREAT SOUND SYSTEM, BRAKES, STEERING AND PERFORMANCE. ANY ONE WHO CAN AFFORD THIS CAR WILL HAVE A SMILE ON THEIR FACE EVERY TIME THEY OPEN THE KEYLESS ENTRY DOOR, PUSH THE START BUTTON, AND PUT ON THEIR SEATBELT. THE CONSTRUCTION IS LIKE THE MOST MODERN PRIVATE JETS, WITH ALUMINUM,BOND WITH GLUE AND RIVETS, SO THERE ARE NO SQUEAKS IN THIS BABY. THE HIDE AWAY TOP WORKS PERFECTLY EVERY TIME WITH JUST THE PUSH OF ONE BUTTON, HAVE A 2008 NOW, MAY BE A 2110 OR11 IN MY NEAR FUTURE, AN ASTON MARTIN WITHOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS, FOR HALF THE PRICE.

Back to the dealer every 800 miles!!!

I bought what I thought would be my dream soft top sports car in July of this year. The car has been returned to the dealership 3 times (every 800 miles) for repeated faults with the computer. If you want to waste over 70K on a poorly made and unreliable car go ahead and buy. Make sure you have Jaguar assist and another vehicle on standby cos you will need them

2009 XKR

So far less than a 1000 miles, mostly highway. Handles great, great pick up when passing at highway speeds. Cruse a must unless you enjoy the tickets. Comfort better than I expected for my size, 6'6" and 350 lbs. A bit windy with the top down at highway speeds, but tons of fun. The back seat is agood place for the cooler and its with in easy reach. Over all its a blast to drive and has exectlant looks with the special wheel option. The ride is confortable and road noise is low for a rag top.
