1999 Jaguar XK8 review from North America
"People will envy you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery problems being that no other battery fits except an interstate.
Restricted performance costs a whole lot to fix. It means the car is in safe mode and horsepower and speed are hindered.
Very small in the cab.
Anything you need for the car will leave a huge hole in your pocket. If you want it done right.
General comments?
Great chick magnet.
Amazingly smooth ride. Fast and a lot of power.
Great sound system and safety.
Overall I love this car.
