2007 Jaguar XK

Pros: Gorgeous, comfortable (for the driver), quick, exclusive, attention getter.

Cons: Horsepower, rear seats, attention getter.

The Bottom Line: This vehicle will be a proud addition to my garage; admit it, you want one.

Review: The New Jaguar XK: What are the words? What are the words that one could use to describe the all-new Jaguar XK? The exterior is sleek, sexy, throwing back images of an Aston Martin. At right around half of the price of the Aston, that’s ...

Pros: Stunning appearance and superb handling.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: A stunningly-beautiful automobile that is a dream to drive.

Review: After owning the 2007 Jaguar XK coupe (with the Alpine sound system, 20" wheels and luxury package, but not the adaptive cruise control/active lighting, the former of which I consider a waste of money because it will never be used) for almost 4 weeks, I ...

Pros: Outstanding performance. It is fun to drive and has all the luxury features.

Cons: Small convertible trunk. Poor rear visibility with top up.

Review: Expensive, yes but compared to the BMW M6, Aston Martin, Bentley Continental, Mercedes 500 SL, etc. it is an outstanding value. It is less money than these cars yet it offers the same or better features. I have had the car since May 2006 and love it. The ...

Pros: Modernized styling, comfortable seats, roomier interior

Cons: Panel fits, lack of chassis composure, subpar horsepower, small trunk

The Bottom Line: I much prefer the styling of the new XK to the BMW 650. But the BMW is a much more satisfying car to drive.

Review: My father has always had a thing for Jaguars. He has almost bought one a few times in the past, most recently a few weeks ago. A friend was trading in a 2005 XK8 for a 2007, and he offered to sell it to my father for whatever the dealer offered. I ...

Pros: Powerful,gorgeous.

Cons: Too much money for what you get.

The Bottom Line: If you can afford this car, it's worth a shot. Not a car for the average spender.

Review: TAUGHT BY LONG EXPERIENCE, I’m suspicious of introductions to a new model (or redesign) that take place in spectacular, exotic settings. All too often an awe-inspiring setting is used to camouflage the shortcomings of the vehicle in question. Sometimes, ...

Pros: Good looks, fantastic transmission, great stereo

Cons: Too big, worthless back seat, dangerous to use integrated NAV/HAVC/AUDIO

The Bottom Line: Nice car--better looking than BMW and Mercedes competitors, but not as comfortable as either of those--awesome transmission and stereo, but appears to still have electrical issues. Lukewarm Recommendation.

Review: I have just over 2000 miles on my new Jaguar Indigo Blue XK convertible. I sold a 2006 Corvette convertible to "upgrade" to the Jaguar. First impressions for everyone center on the looks of the car. My impression is that it looks good, but could ...

Pros: Good looks

Cons: pricey and underwhelming performance

The Bottom Line: better than average car with unjustifiable price tag

Review: The new Jaguar XK is a beautiful machine--with a hefty price tag. I was lucky enough to snag a dealer demo for two days from a dealer friend. After a tad over 200 miles, here are my observations: The car is much improved from the previous model. I ...

Pros: Nice lines, good stereo, super transmission

Cons: MSRP; Quality issues.

The Bottom Line: The car is overpriced. There are other cars that offer more quality, better driving experience, and more performance for less money.

Review: I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new Jaguar XK for over a year now. Sadly, the actual driving experience was far short of the anticipation. Although the car is beautiful, Jaguar still appears to have problems with quality, and the new ...
