- Welcome to Lloyd Tries Cars, this is a channel dedicated to my own experiences of a variety of cars, motorcycles or anything else that moves under its own power!
Episode 3 of the Evo Top 100 Drivers cars of 2009, Nunber 95, The Jaguar XKR, quietly said that this was always the best car Jaguar made - so, is it better than an F-Type? Let’s find out.
If you blur out the speedo then you don't have to be mindful.
Don't let the secret out! Wonderful cars.
I was at the dealer for service on my F type S today and they had just sold a beautiful xkr. I love my F type but that xkr was NICE!
I love my XKR. Nothing like the sound of a V8 first thing in the morning!
Having now owned both, the XKR wins with the 5.0
Fabulous, especially in Stratos grey. Looks like I may have found my next car.
In 2010 I bought an ‘07 XKR 4.2 for £36k and drove it for 3 years before selling it for £24k .. drove like a new car and only cost me £4K per year in depreciation. Miss it.
Grantley Design do a superb nose kit for these XK Jags🤩
Styling wise, the F type, seems very short at the rear, to my eye, and the front a bit blunt and clunky.. personal thing . I think the XKR a bit more elegant, resolved and cohesive throughout.
200kg lighter than the new M2. I test drove an XKR back to back with an Aston DBS V12. I loved both but the XKR was better in almost every way apart from exhaust note.
JLR made a big mistake going for F/E Pace only imho.
I'm not so sure. The 3.0 V6 S F-Type is a different car certainly, but it has similar performance to the bigger engined XKR that you feature in this video, much lower road tax and potentially does more mpg. I admit I haven't driven the XKR (on my list to drive ASAP) but I have driven the aforementioned F-Type. The F-Type was exceptional on the motorway and very comfortable. I concede that boot space on them is poor! In terms of styling, I think the F-Type makes the XKR look a bit old. I'm still undecided but for a purchase I'm considering, I'm still leaning towards the F-Type. You need to do an F-Type video!
Great car, great review could well be a future classic. Please review the R171 SLK 55 AMG. My car 😁
I own almost an exact copy of the car you drove, except mine is black with the cream interior, but a 60 plate. I use it as my daily drive, and will probably use it as such until either it dies or I die!
I have the XK 5ltr, its all the car you need. Not sure if its worth the extra money for an XKR. I have never been able to put my foot all the way down so far, because the car fly's even half way down.
Funny scratches on the window
that will be the traction control kicking in hence th on off throttle responce turn it off but beware back end is livley
cabin noise seems high.
Looks like new.
Merc made the best car in this class back in 1989 with the R129.
