- In this video I take a look around a Jaguar XK coupe, the last jaguar to have the XK name. I’m asking if you should buy one to use as a daily, a second car, or if it’s just too expensive to run these days. Thanks for watching!
I’ve had my 2009 XK 5.0 for 9 months and it’s possibly the most enjoyable car I’ve ever had. Plenty power (no need of the supercharger), 30mpg on steady medium length motorway driving. Couldn’t be better. And mine is the same black/ivory combination.
Great thing about this na engine is that doesent rob the engine of power when constant running.
Absolutely stunning car and well underrated.
I bought the R version, in the same colour, as a second car and I love it. It brings compliments wherever I go. I did lose the back end the first time I drove it and agree with the lad from High Peak Autos that in the wrong hands this could be dangerous!
Such stunning cars. Way better looking than the F Type.
When I moved to the States I bought a Porsche because they felt so affordable… but it cost a fortune to maintain! Got a black 2013 XK Portfolio with full black leather. It’s a beauty of a sports car. Recently drove 500+ miles from LA to Vegas and back - it was the ultimate grand tourer. (gas/petrol is a little cheaper here!)
I am on my fourth one such a great car My XK is one of the last built and i have decided to keep it for the money you cant beat it I have looked at aston and there double the price and more and cost a lot more to repair One day they will be a classic they just dont build them
I have a 2010 XK convertible Portofilo with 115,000 miles and drive it every day. Love it!!!! I bought it with 80,000 miles and have only had to replace the water pump. It performs great and I think it is the best combination of asthetics, luxury and performance of any convertible. Black on black with chrome accents. Can't beat it!!
How much did you pay looking at a 114,000 mile one right now.
I get 24.5 mpg from my 2010 portfolio convertible and paid £20,500 for it in June 2019 with 39k on the clock that said this is the pre facelift version...great Sunday car👍
I prefer the pre facelift version tbh
I absolutely adore my 2010 XK, it's an all round amazing piece of kit and just stunning to look at
Mine too! Mine's caviar, an amazing colour.
@@jamescameron314 yep that's a beautiful colour. Mine is Lunar Grey Metallic
I have a 2011 XKR, and i love it. It's done 70000, so just run in! Just had the gear box oil and filter changed. Its a fab car anyone thinking of getting one, either 5.0 litre XK or the XKR supercharger get one. 👍
Picking mine up on friday. 2012 with 63,000 miles. £20k. Cannot wait 😍
Hope you are now enjoying your new car! Thanks for watching!
@@Mattscarchannel thankyou 😃 just got home from picking it up. Had to drive 150 miles from torquay england. Im in love!
How’s it running now?
@@dw4525 this absolutely broke my heart but i had to return it after roughly 30 days. 4 days after purchase the water pump failed and it broke down on me with coolant leaking everywhere! It went into jaguar for almost 2 weeks to be fixed and then came out with a seperate issue. There was a very audible squeaking noise whenever i turned the wheel to the right. Jaguar couldnt get to the bottom of it and by that point i had totally lost confidence in it so i got a full refund from the garage. It was in the garage more days than i had driving it. I was gutted but i havent given up on my jag dream. I think i just got a bit unlucky! Im on the lookout for a similar spec right now! Fingers crossed for a more reliable one next time
****update. Just purchased a 2008 4.2 litre with 60k on the clock in black. £15,500. Fingers crossed no issues with this one
I'd love one for my second car.
Great video. Was very tempted to buy one 2 months ago. Didn't as couldn't get a rear facing child seat comfortably in. On the other hand have a 2010 XFS. Was surprised to see how similar they are in terms of suspension. On a different note having a gearbox issue (I have the code of the fault) was hoping I could get some experienced advice on resolving it, as locally in Malta Jaguars aren't that popular and the help is more by trial and error.
I’m so looking forward to buying one of these here in the states. It appears there’s no difference between a 2013-2016 & as long as they’re low mileage. It’s affordable for me, and it will be a 2nd car that I can drive on weekends.
Great video Matt, thanks again for your efforts 😊👍🏼👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent review. Wife has a 2013 and I love it so much....im getting one as well.
Great video content. If you ever get an old XJ model around 98 /20 year , taken in as px it would be great to see review. 👍
The rotary gear selector and led rear lights came in 2009 with the 5 litre engine
I have a 2012 version............simply brilliant....33K miles also .....have a L322 as well.. great combo...this video has a slight negative edge to it....not a car for muppets....
LOL thank you from the bottom of my heart, I haven’t laughed this hard in months
Just so you know.. There is an optional second wheel on the right hand side of the steering wheel available and that is the adaptive cruise control.
But you should know that right?
This is exactly the comment I was looking for: I would have liked to have written too that the second wheel on the right is present in all the Jaguars of that period equipped with ACC. I had an XF that was fitted with it and the steering wheel was pleasantly symmetrical, for the peace of mind of those who do not like asymmetry. 😂
Now that's my sort of car!!
The biggest flaw is how they kept the infotainment system same throughout just strange
It’s a nice car. I always liked them
I'm hoping all is well with you as you haven't posted any content for a couple of months. 👍👍👍😎
Looks nice
They got rid of the gear stick for the 2010MY version so during 2009. The 2006 to early 2009 model had one but rotary thereafter
Just bought a Ragtop version, same color .
Backseats are great for a medium sized dog or for carrying extra luggage.
I have a 2012 Artisan Special, which is like the Portfolio but with special seats and a full leather dark blue interior, including the headlining. Its a brilliant car to drive with the 385bhp V8, and it managed 26mpg on a 2,700 mile round trip to Italy through France, Germany and Austria. Reversing visibility is not very good, so it pays to get one with the camera.
Beautiful car
Great video! But, what is it with all the ivory interiors in cars in the U.K?
A nice light interior is popular over here. Thanks for watching!
Old men love a bit of beige!
Thanks for the review. Is the XKR lower than the XK in terms of suspension height?
Your mother is whore.
Is there a clue as to where I can view this car with intent to purchase (if still for sale) please? Cheers.
Not sure if it is just my computer but it looks like the white balance is really off and everything is washed out in the video. I watched this same video a few weeks ago and it was fine tho :/
What car was it traded in against out of interest if you can say?
What is the difference between XK, XKR jaguars?
Super charger in the R models.
Power haha
Is it 2020 jaguar xk ?
Looks like a Ferrari marnello
People used to say oh it’s just the same look as a Aston Martin DB7, Jaguar replied thanks for saying it looks like a car twice the price
20 m pg
they are beautiful but most are piles of gigantic pretty CRAP! mechanical lemons.
I’ve owned 2, a 2007 4.2, and 2010 5.0. Beautiful cars, utterly reliable. I don’t know why people automatically think Jaguars are unreliable, that’s old 1980’s talk. Jag’s are as reliable any other car in the same market segment.
@@ianfleming7648 Thats pure and utter bullshit!
@@nyacoustics8373 I don’t care what you think, both you and your opinion are bullshit to me. Jags are great, clearly you are not!
XKR most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Had to service my Porsches more often than my Jags, I can only speak for my XKR don’t know reliability on the rest of the Jag lineup.
Obviously you have not owned one and are a clueless muppet. Of all the 30 or so cars i have owned The XK is the most reliable car you can buy mechanically and electrically.
