Even the XK's? servive the box corectly and peplace the chain tensioners with alooy instead of plastic and they are relable. neither of my 2 xk8s let me down at any point , the guys i know that have them all love them too, its the type of car that if your not willing to maintain it properly, it will bite you in the wallet for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt very cramped for me though, but I'm 6 foot 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige-rz Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 im 6.4" and thers loads of room. just need how to set up the 6 way seats lol Maybe that was it, didn't want to mess around with it too much as it was only a quick spin. I'd say I gave some people a good laugh though, I looked like the dog from the flintstones I was so squeezed into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising is great but attacking a set of twisties means I would need a manual to feel connected. Personal taste I suppose..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 My Dads on his 4th XK now, which is a 2011 5.0 XKR coupe it's a monster, and somewhat scratches my Supra itch. I've driven most iterations of XK now, the earlier ones were fast, the newer ones are seriously quick once they get going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the last before they changed to the newer headlights (which I prefer) but save him almost £25k going for the slightly older one.
