This good-looking car is the Jaguar XK. It has a unique sporty look that is easily likable perhaps by everyone except extremely conservative people. It looks good and it feels good too thanks to its luxurious interior. It’s a luxury car and a sports car combined. You want to turn heads while driving? Do you enjoy going around corners with the greatest of ease? How about impressing your passenger, not only with speed but comfort level as well? If your answer is yes to all, then you’ll love this car.
There’s just this one negative thing that is almost always present on reviews about the Jaguar XK; its acceleration. Apparently, this car doesn’t have the acceleration to match its sports car image; at least on its base trim form. It’s V8 engine doesn’t give it that exhilarating jump from zero to sixty like some cars on the same price range do. It’s accelerates good, but not really good enough to warrant high marks on that category. What you can do is go for the XKR trim; you’ll get a supercharged V8 to go with the terrific look, and then you’ll get the acceleration needed.

There’s this one concern too that is being talked about. The recent decision of Ford to sell the Jaguar brand to India’s Tata Motors is causing some buyers to be a bit tentative about buying Jaguars. Jaguar cars has this history of being a bit quirky, and buyers think they might not support from the new owners. This remains to be seen. What’s given is that the Jaguar XK is a beautiful car with an amazing performance all in all.
