I have a a 2011 XKR supercharger 5 litre and love it. Its done 70000 miles. If you change the oils and filters each year you should have manageable running costs , except fuel!!! . One never asks the owner of a Rolls Royce what mpg they do. The reply is usually 'the cars not for you then' I love my XKR, Brings on a good smile when you set off😁 for a trip
I bought one several months ago. The more I drive it the more I love it. I still don't know how Jag managed to put that much brutality and refinement within a single chassis. Driving an XKR is truly a Jekyll and Hyde experience.
Just got my 2nd XKR last Thursday - a 2012 @ £33k. Wonderful car 😁😁😁😁 Chopped in my utterly soulless 2016 BMW M4 (actually for what I paid for it 20 months ago), which you also reviewed a while back. NO regrets AT ALL. Infotainment may be a joke, but Soul, Noise, Engine, Ride are sublime. Worth the rise in tax to £600 ( tax is legalised theft). Thanks Jonathan for your reviews x
No, tax is a privilege that pays for the infrastructure of our society. If you want to take more of your fair slice of the pie ( pollution, road use etc) then pay more. Simples
Now that you’ve had it for a year, what are your thoughts on reliability? Would love to have one for a daily but there is not much reliability info online.

The 0 to 60 is 4 seconds not 4.8
My dream car. My dad had a Jaguar E-Type and I am from Coventry :)
Robust review. Worth considering why such a thorough review gets so few views?
Thanks!
Everything you said in this review is COMPLETELY true!
Appreciate that!
Excellent review
Glad you liked it!
I just bought the same car in the review, except mine’s a ‘15. It’s being shipped cross country. Can’t wait til it shows up in my driveway.
Po co ten pasek na ekranie? 🤦♂️

Love the commentary.
Is this a good daily driver
Yes! I've had a '13 model for three years and love it. It surprises me to see so few on British roads.
They are good for 20k but overrated in many ways
