I haven't put a lot of miles on my 2013, but I have been driving it and I have to say this is one fun and fast car! It's a base XK but it still MOVES! I can only imagine what an XKR is like (speeding ticket waiting to happen??!) I've had a Porsche 914 (my very first car, and definitely a disappointment), a Mustang, 1984 Trans Am, 1977 C3 Corvette, still have the 1987 944 S, and I have to say the XK is faster than any of them. I think the 944 S handles 'slightly' better, but man... acceleration and top end speed there is NO comparison to the XK. It wants to get out and run! I constantly have to check the speedometer because it just wants to cruise between 70-80. I passed someone and was at 95 before I knew it.

I was out the other day and got it hand washed and a local cop came walking up to my window. I thought okay here we go... but all he said was 'This is a NICE ride!' He walked around and then asked me what exactly it was! He thought it was a 2021! The XK model has definitely aged well and looks refined but also sporty. I told my buddy what I liked about the style was that I felt it is classy but understated- meaning it's not like the new Corvette that screams 'LOOK AT ME'... but I found the XK DOES get lots of looks anywhere I go.

 

Timeless design and glad to hear your enjoying it !!

 

If the XK has one thing, it's looks. Jaguar really nailed the looks of the car. They haven't designed anything as timeless since.

 

“Classy but understated” = Jaguar. Virtually every Jaguar.

 

haha, I remember writing a similar post shortly after I bought mine. It really is a great car. And yea, the NA XK really does have a lot of power.
