I've had mine for 3 years. Almost identical but a hard top. Other than brakes, tyres and a buckled wheel, it's been bomb proof and ballistic in equal measure. Everyone who's ever been in it, loves it, and I get let out at junctions as well. It actually makes me drive like a grownup... Almost.

Hurrah about time! I bought an XKR 5.0 Coupe based on your last video. I've had it 18 months and love it. I agree with all your observations and comments etc, except; I get 27mpg average. I've driven mixed pleasure and business, and on a run I get 30 mpg on dual carriageways and motorways. If I drive it like a hooligan I get 15 mpg. But it averages up really easily when used with respect. I've had to fix more things on it than I have on my CLS 350 in 10 years, but most have been simple DIY and nothing in the last 12 months. I love German cars; they are superbly engineered, but the Jag is finely built, maybe not superb, but it just has that "Je ne said quoi"

I went off Piste this year and bought a Jaguar XF Portfolio 2010, one owner from new and full dealership service history, and if it need anything doing to it the previous owner did it at Jaguar, needless to say its the best car i have owned and unlike previous cars i've owned i just love driving it every time i get in it. Great video Matt & not surprised your keeping it.

Just grabbed a MINT 2015 XKR coupe, chose it over an F-Type and so glad I did, every time I look at it in the garage it's stunningly beautiful, and drives nice. For the $$$, nothing can compare.

I currently have a 2010 XKR 75 coupe in Stratus Grey. A limited production run of 75 cars only, 50 exported to the southern continent as left-hand drive and 25 only remaining in this country of which this is one. Truly great cars of which this is my second XKR. I just wanted to reassure anybody contemplating buying one that whilst nobody could truthfully describe it as a car you would buy for economy reasons. The MPG figures MATT quoted are a little pessimistic on both XKR’s I’ve owned 20 to 23 mpg locally is easily achievable without trying too hard and 23 to 27 mpg on a run. which with this performance I don’t think it’s too bad. Get one they are bloody marvellous!

the XK's were amazing cars, very beautiful, awesome to drive and hear that roar, and very reliable units, i worked for jaguar for 17 years and was a shame when they ended production, future classic these for sure.

I came so close to buying one of these last year but went for something a bit more sensible instead (Lexus). The test drive still stays with me to this day... A perfect mix of comfort and performance.

Well I can say I agree with everything you’ve said Matt as I bought this very car off your garage yesterday and drove it home through the Peak District with a big childish grin on my face every time I put my foot down. It’s by far the best car I’ve had in terms of enjoyment for the money and it’s perfect if you’re a big guy too in terms of driver space. Thank you for taking so much car of the car too, it looks stunning.

Welcome to the converted. I have had my XK 5.0 Portfolio for just over 6 months. Best car i have owned so far. Always brings a smile to my face.

XJR/XKR Last of the real Jags. Had an XJR for a number of years. Even with the Ford induced issues, I loved every mile I put on the clock.

[chelseaguy]

I’ve had my 09 convertible XK 4.2L since new and it is as beautiful today as the day I bought it. They are truly stunning cars.

[devlinracing]

That’s a great looking (and sounding) car. I actually like the chrome supercharged badges on the bonnet but would definitely change the rear number plate to a smaller version. It would make a terrific summer car, it would be awesome to listen to that engine with the roof down on a sunny day😎

[Peter-MH]

Great choice! Have been thinking convertible V8 GT’s myself & reckon this, or the previous XK make a lot of sense! 500 SL was also a consideration, but ABC suspension issues would scare me off using it for long road trips & older jags don’t get the ‘mean streets’ image problems like older high-end mercs either, the jags just look like ‘old money’.

[davidarter]

I have had an x100 XKR Classic for 22 years now. I’m never selling it, it is simply wonderful

[Floorguy]

A little over a year ago I bought a 2011 convertible XK 5.0 n.a. supercharger. I love it ! An absolute beauty, that gets compliments all the time. Tons of I think the XK-R would just be out to kill me. ( I moved from a lovely MG to the Jag.)

[DavidMyers-ow]

I have a 2015 XK Dynamic R as my daily driver. I want for nothing, it's comfortable, very fast and unique (everyone seems to have Porsches, Audis and BMWs - sheep). On top of all that, it is built well and relatively cheap to run. Great decision to keep it!

[jkyyy]

Think we're due a personal car collection video Matt, maybe a total cost of ownership run down

[captainbimble]

I have the 4.2 supercharged coupe version in black with ivory interior. They are really great cars to drive and look so good. Never had so many complimentary comments from people!
Love it.

[BavarianPower]

Stunning Car Mat..you can't beat the looks of a Jaaag!!👍👍👏👏

[Makjeh]

Lovely jag, really underrated and forgotten these XKR's
