2006 Jaguar XKR New model review from UK and Ireland
"A big step forward for Jaguar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet as it is only 1 month old!
General comments?
I am so pleased with my new Jaguar. It is a big change from my old XK8 but feels more modern and fashionable (that's what my kids say). I have had nothing, but great comments by strangers in the street and I thank the lord that I went for this over the 6 series BMW. Also, I believe it truly is
the best all rounder at this price.
The acceleration is phenomenal and it seems to have much smoother power delivery than the XK8. My car is graphite silver and I am very pleased so far. No I couldn't stretch to a DB9 but I am truly amazed with what I got for the money - I paid (67,000). If you want a great car and don't want a porsche - try this, you won't be disapointed.
