Just got my XKR 2008,, best year I read somewhere. Head turner, can't really tell because they are behind me. Hit the peddle and I was off, slowed down and vehicle behind caught up to take a look at "what was that". Still haven't put top down not sure how to put it back up, and where does it go. But I will find out tomorrow. Miss my England sports cars when I started work and could buy a used one. RS.

I still have my original 2008 XKR that I bought new in LA. After 15 years and 60k miles later. I still love everything about my XKR. It was a head turner then in exotic car capital LA. It is still a head turner today as I’ve not seen an XKR here in NC. I will keep it for as long as I possibly can.

Searching for a used convertible to add to my stable, I was convinced a Porsche Boxster was the ultimate car. If I were to race it and tear up roadways every trip, I would be right. But what I really want is a car I can drive all day, caress corners when the wife is sitting next to me, and attack apex's when I'm on my own. This car delivers everything the advanced motorist demands. Rear wheel drive with 420 lb-ft on a perfectly sorted chassis makes for driving nirvana. The Jag soaks up bumps and road imperfections as well as my much-larger Audi A8. All high performance $$$ cars have their glitches and niggling annoyances. I'm blessed with relatively few issues, and nothing that couldn't be addressed. Thirteen years later, this car turns heads like it just came off the showroom floor.
