well guys, did my 1st road trip, round trip i put 730 miles on her, averaged
21.6 mpg. car ran great and overall its a great touring car, very nice and comfy and also very quite at speeds averaging between 75-90mph

 

These cars are great mile-eaters, especially on fast roads - you should see how they go on an autobahn

 

My first road trip started the day I bought it. I flew to Salt Lake City, Utah and bought the car then drive it 2300 miles back home to NC. Was a great time indeed and a good bonding experience.

 

That's the way to buy a Jag. Gives one a good understanding of the vehicle on the trip home.


I've bought in Salt Lake City, UT; Bradenton, FL; Greenville, SC to name a few. The trips home were fantastic and enjoyable with numerous stops on the way. Las Vegas; Grand Canyon, Rte. 66; Ft. Smith, AK (Hanging Judge Parker); Savannah GA; Vanderbilt Estate in NC; Kill Devil Hills; Oliver & Hardy museum in GA to name a few.


XK/R's are designed for "Road Trip(s)". Best GT made. Enjoy yours.

 

I did Boston - Montreal a few times which is 600 miles RT. Great car on the open road.
