I Bought An OLD Jaguar XKR!

[@Wintintin]

I own an 2011 XKR Black Pack in Ultimate Black! 26,000 miles. It’s an amazing car to own and drive. People get confused thinking it’s a sports car it’s extremely powerful GT to get you to your destination in comfort, style and speed when you need it. It’s Beautiful to look at from all angles and super comfortable and a timeless design. The other powerful versions in the X150 family is the XKR-S and the GT which is super super rare. Love my Jag..

[@anthonyhaigh365]

Possibly the prettiest car ever,the looks the sound is unbeatable

[@tellschillies3409]

I have the 4.2 XKR X150 2007 with 45k miles, its an absolute beast, i choose the 4.2 because the engine is more reliable and the performance isn't much different and you still have the gear stick instead of that round switch, i believe the 4.2 in time will be the most desirable model, great cars

[@life_of_riley88]

Same here 2007 XKR owner. That 4.2 is wonderful.

[@Clarkecars]

I too chose the 2007 XKR for similar reasons. I cannot stand those damn washing machine dial gear selectors in the later models.

I own a 2009 4.2 xkr one of the very last of the 4.2s and i love it, ive owned a few V8s over the yrs but this one is by far the best of them. I think the 4.2 might just be the more reliable of the 2.

Have 2010 XKR 510 hp black convertible 25,000 miles. Beauty Cat

[@richarddyasonihc]

Yes I would love one of those! But everything (almost) is true. I am a 70 year old chap - owned a huge number of different motors; BMW, Merchandise & a SAAB 9000 back in the day. I now have a low mileage Jag XJ Portfoli,. I really love it! It only has the V6 and is not as fast as XKR, but at.315Bhp, gets to 60 in about 5.6 seconds - very pedestrian compared with your XKR. Fantastic sound system 1300 watt 21 speaker sound. And yes it has all the luxury expected from a large saloon car. The roof lining is suede, and seats do other things like massage. Even at my age, I can take it for a three- to four hour drive without anŷ discomfort. bought this one second hand (one previous owner). It still only has just over 48,000. miles. I have had it over two years now. But it has cost me very little on.keeping everyone mechanical or electronic problems. Until I bought this one I had the XJ350, for a number of years, but the mileage was over 160,000, and things were starting to go.

[@dylanwakley2553]

Seriously tempted with either one of these or the xfr, insane value for money, also love hearing praise for the xjs, normally people forget about them. My dad has a ‘94 6.0 xjs, honestly such an underrated car

[@dylanwakley2553]

@@adventuresofbabyleonardoth5953 yes it’s a proper mile muncher, such a leggy gearbox too, let’s that V12 properly stretch its legs

[@saharajack1]

I’ve owned both the XKR (59 plate - for 7 yrs), and XFR (15 plate - 1 yr). You won’t be unhappy at either. The later XFR feels quicker, with its 8-speed box, and it’s slightly better on juice (38 mpg on a run; best I had on the XKR was 27). Both are a bit thirsty around town, typically 16-20. Performance can get you a jail term on both. Check the water pump on the XKR, and it also needs an annual air conditioning refrigerant top up. Both are very easy to keep; tyres reasonable, road tax £640pa, 3x my insurance cost.

[@dylanwakley2553]

@@saharajack1 yeah they don’t deserve the bad rep at all, but it keeps the second hand cost down for enthusiasts so I’m ok with it 🤣 I wish my insurance was a third of 640 😅

[@moodyk1979]

My friend has an 2010 XFR that he bought from brand new, he got Jag at the time to tune it, change the badges too black, put a sports approved exhaust system, and a different super charger pulley, it’s running 555bhp and a real beast with the different exhaust, real pops etc not some programmed over done pops and bangs etc :)

Sold my black 4.2 XKR in 2021and have regretted ever-increasing. My wife managed to accept my style of driving, but it's a sure licence looser particularly with envious dash cam owners. Had many fast cars in my time (87) but that was the best. Got my eye on 2009 4.2 XKR but finding the courage to bring the subject up. Safely run at present 380 SL Mercedes and 2013 mimi C Cooper.

@@Islam_is_the_truth.4 - For a supercharged V8, it's not bad, around 17 in the city and 25 on the highway unless you're really dogging it.

My first Jaguar was this same color and model! I wrapped it emerald green after about a year of ownership and I loved every minute of it. In fact, one of my posts went viral in the Jaguar Forums and it was the most liked, most engaged post in the site's history - even beating out the F-Type's introduction! I got a Ferrari after that and now another Jaguar XKR - a 2014 in white.

[@leevweleevwe4813]

Lovely cars XKR but the black edition with speed pack is the one to go for.

[@RyneLanders]

If they can get the Dynamic Edition, that's the best. Has the XKR-S suspension and performance upgrades, the full Speed Pack aero kit, but the nice looking Jaguar XKR looks vs the XKR-S oddities.

[@richarddyasonihc]

I own a Jaguar - not really a sports car in any way form or style. But II’m 71. Mine is an XJ351 Portfolio. I bought it second hand at 47k miles on the clock. I wasn’t sure about the new style, but hell! It has only 300hp, but it can really shift. As I said, not a sports car, remember Jaguar used to claim’space,grace and pace’. And I really like more every time I drive it. If you buy a Jag, you will never be green-eyed seeing anything else on the road!

Put on an undersized supercharger pulley along with a tune and now running just over 610bhp, up from the stock 510hp.

[@ChrisFEJackson]

Being an F-Type R AWD owner on a 15 plate (pre face lift & DPF's) the car was designed with the sympathy towards the E-Type. The XKR range was designed pre Tata ownership and looks in my opinion to closer to an Aston. Still a great car by all means, but sorry the F-Type R way surpasses this in every ounce of performance. The gearbox is the modern ZF 8 speed. I'd put the 20-70 time on here, but would be considered only as academic, plus I don't wish to brag lol. So happy you got in Jaaaaag Calvin a V8 at least and you did it justice, nice one, now go find an F-Type R AWD V8! for even more smiles and enthusiasm.

[@aaronstrickland8121]

Sympathy towards the E-Type! 😂😂 Yeah, right. And pretty obvious the F-Type has better performance, even a small child could tell you that!

@@aaronstrickland8121 If you ever get the chance to open a door on an E-Type and then an F-Type and look at the door panel profile, you would know what I was on about.

Glad they stuck with Supercharger, rather than turbos. Even the word alone sounds better! The normally aspirated sound remains, but the lovely cool air gets forced in there. Hard. Would anyone agree with me…Supercharger…sounds better than… twin turbo, any day of the week 😂

[@soulman956]

Both of my Jags have been ultra reliable and have working indicators unlike the German cars.

Interestingly, my indicator has gone loose on the right signal so I have to remember to put a little pressure on it to pull it towards me for it to show. I've started to empathize with the German car owners 😂

I have the XFR, unbelievable fun, also quite easy to work on, brake pads, oil changes etc can be done easily at home, people say the M5's are better but they tend not to have the reliabilty of the jag motor and gearbox. the jag is a big comfy car and you would not know it has a monsterous V8, but put the foot down and its like being trapped in a phone box with an angry gorilla, i imagine the XKR is the same.

I love my M3 (e46) But the noise these charged Jags make is another level. Also feel like it would be less of an anxiety issue owning the Jag over any post 2000 M car. Rod bearings. Head gaskets. Vanos. Subframes. Injectors. Crank hubs. Cam sensors. So many things that cause an m engine to detonate itself. Seems like these are fairly happy engines?

[@MRFUCKOFF202]

1 problem only which is the timing chain guides. Around £2.5k on Range Rovers not sure about these, and see a lot less of them with replacement or failed engines which may be down to type of owners

Cal love the videos as usual. However if I may offer a bit of advice. I think (if it's an option) that you don't need to talk about the interior of the cars before doing the HPI check. During the HPI check, we're always told the specs and options. So why not do the interior bit during HPI check? It would cut out you having to stand outside talking about the interior of the car and mentioning some specs, only to sit in it and go over all of it during the HPI. Probably you can combine the two. I'm not sure if it's possible with your schedule. But I do know it would cut out the amount of time it takes to stand in the sun to talk a bit about the exterior and interior.
