Commander Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Anybody had one? They're currently tempting me... I don't have enough money for the latter one with the 8sp box (or an XFRS, before anybody mentions it!), so it'll 'just' be the normal 504BHP one with the 6sp auto. Engine, 'box & diff all sound bullet proof and the car is comfy, roomy, and fairly rare. The zorst is quiet but opens up on full chat, or you can get an after-market one. Brakes are decent out the factory. It's clearly not a Zed, but I find my self lusting after more refinement... Views? Experiences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Supposedly better than the rest of the big 4 door crop (M3, C63, IS-F, M5 etc.), Ive driven a V8 XF-S and can believe it is too. Im still too young for a Jag though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I think if I was comparing it with something else, I'd choose something else. The styling is a little awkward for me too, although that's just a personal thing. I'd prefer pretty much any of the alternatives that Doc mentions. If you viewed it on its own, then I can't see how you'd be disappointed with it. The engine alone is going to be awesome, and it'll be an experience every time you drive it.

Irn Bru Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I love jags and I'm eyeing up a xkr 4.2 to add to my collection later this year. The xfr is nice but if it was my money it would be this xkrs http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201510248118142?onesearchad=used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew&model=xkr-s&search-target=usedcars&quicksearch=true&sort=atcustom&radius=1500&page=1&postcode=eh224nz&make=jaguar&logcode=p Unfortunately my budget won't stretch to the above model 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That is just gorgeous on the outside, the inside though is awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I think they look superb and the sound as they Jaguar past you like er, a big cat, is just great. Do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Friend of mine had an XKR-S a couple years back. It was a beast and struggled to get the power down in anything other then dry conditions. Very expensive to run also, it would return single figure mpg.
