1998 Jaguar XK8 Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"Attention seeking sleek cat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric windows failed after 5,000 miles.
Climate control had some trouble at 13,000 miles, apart from that, nothing.
General comments?
Very powerful sports car, much quicker than my old XJ6, though my children miss the rear seating space!
I would say the car was fairly good value at £53600 with several options.
