I don't usually do silly threads like this but I went through all the pages in the British car section and there was very little information about the XKR. I've been on other sites and didn't find much. SO I decided to ask the members here for their thoughts and experience. I'm looking for a coupe and the XKR is high on my list because of it's near-exotic look, sporty design with luxury car appointments. My concerns are it's reliability and mod-ability.

- How reliable is it...what are the common issues?
- Are there aftermarket parts available, suspension, bodykits and accessories?
- What do you like most about it?
- What do you dislike most about it?

 

I've had 3 of them, all 1st generation, failry reliable, wonderful to drive but antiquated in engineering.

 

uhhh no you cant say that about the new 2010 models!

 

All 2011 Jaguars have a 5yr / 50,000 mile complimentary scheduled maintenance and no-cost replacement of wear and tear items. Jaguar is the complete package now they got the looks and now the reliability as well.

 

I've lowered every car I drive....are there lowering springs or coilovers for the XKR? I don't need a huge drop, just enough for 1 inch gap.

 

I'm having trouble findin nice pics of XKR's. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

No offense but I'm not interested in pics of the older XK.
It's a nice looking car but the new model is semi-exotic looking.
