Beautiful Fun, But Bring Money

Jul 16, 2004 (A Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Rolling Artwork. Beautiful things make life worthwhile.
Cons: Jags need maintenance. This is not your utility vehicle.
The Bottom Line: Buy it. You'll hate yourself if you get something practical. No one ever looked back on life and wished they had bought a stationwagon.

Cons: Price

This is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of Jaguar engineering. It is just wonderful to look at, the sweet curves, Jaguar grill, and awesome interior. If you have the money and pick a different car, you should be ASHAMED!!! Typical Jaguar ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: classy, stylish, fast for its weight class
Cons: very pricey

The interior of the 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible is opulent with its walnut instrument panel, leather-trimmed woodrim steering wheel and leather interior. It's also fairly roomy up front with comfortable seats. The rear seats are another story - the XK8's ... read more
