Reviews of the 2008 Jaguar XKR Convertible
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 Jaguar XKR Convertible combines all the beautiful sheet metal of the XK with a punchy performance upgrade for a tech- and comfort-laden ride with feline handling.
The Bad: Despite shelling out more than $100K, XKR Convertible owners have no way to listen to their iPods on the road. Rear three-quarter visibility with the soft top up is extremely limited.
The Bottom Line: With a six-figure price tag, you'd expect the 2008 Jaguar XKR Convertible to have it all--and it nearly does. Its refined cabin, elegant and advanced technology, supercharged V-8, consummate handling, and traffic-stopping looks make it an all-round winner.
