As far as I’m concerned Jaguar are in a class of their own. Beautiful cars.

Yes agree I have the same car but on 07 plate,it is a gt first, that's the appeal,no point in trying to catch it out it's a superb grand tourer averaging 28 around the town and 34 on a high speed run...brilliant and beautiful!

It's that dual nature that Jags have that makes them so special. I can waft around town and then enjoy the feedback on a decent B Road. Jag man for life!

The row of 3 buttons in the roof console are for you to code to your electrically operated gates. If your car has parking sensors, the button for those is housed there too.

Thanks to @maz500 for featuring my XK, glad you enjoyed it. Maz actually taught me about a couple of features my car had that I was unaware of. This is the tenth Jaguar I’ve owned over the last 34 years, and although I’ve owned others I should have kept, it’s this X150 that will be with me to the end. Special shout out to @wraptorcustoms for maintaining (and tuning) my Jag to the highest standards, and Paul @life_on_cars for his very helpful XK videos. If you haven’t checked out their channels, you’re missing out!

I have a 2009 XKR-S, also with the 4.2 AJ-V8. Its a guided missile with a free armchair attached, my economy hovers between 16-20 mpg in mixed driving, around 25mpg on a run

@@toffeepie1878 I see your were a Subaru guy. Lovely 3.0R. I had a Impreza Turbo in 96' and what that car could do on a track or a country road is still vivid in my memory to this day. It made me look as talented as Michael Schumacher behind the wheel. Four wheel neutral drifts at 110mph sounds insane but it felt normal. Damn, I need a track car!

When I reviewed the XJS, moving the selector required a lot of force, same on the F-Type relatively speaking. The only selector I've used with a lighter operation was the X100.

Loving your E-Type and XK Paul. The camera used for filming this really accentuates certain noises and when I watched this section it really sounded quite terrible. In reality, as you are no doubt aware, the action is far more ‘solid’ than the recording implies. Having said that, I believe Sir William Lyons encouraged steering your jaguar using only your forefinger and thumb, a habit I developed from my very first Jaguar, a 73’ Series 1 XJ6 4.2 SWB manual overdrive. I still drive this way today conditions allowing. Point is, there is a finesse to driving Jaguar’s in ‘the manner they are accustomed to’ which comes directly from its heritage and creator. In a world of plug and play, instant response, instant reward, discard after-five-years mentality, operating controls with subtlety may no longer be the norm. Personally ‘finessing’ my driving with minimal input, smooth actions, with a ‘slow-in fast-out’ methodology brings me much satisfaction. Whether its running to the shops or piloting down a B road, I just love it. Thanks again Maz500!
