I am Dutch and would choose the Jag.

This is my opinion. When you are younger, you think Porsche or BMW M are the ultimate best cars, and you will do anything to argue your point. However, as you mature, you find out this world is actually much bigger than you know, and not everything is black & white. you will start to appreciate the XKR. If you disagree with me. Think about how old are you first before responding.

As a huge Porsche and Jaguar fan I have to say that If I had the money, I'd buy both.

I've got an XKR just like this. Highly recommend the supercharged silver coupe....

I hope they bring back the XK and XKR sometime around 2020.These rare beautys are my dream car

Both cars are fantastic!! Not sure you can compare them. The 911 is definitely a bit more sporty, whereas the XKR is a fantastic long distance cruiser - put it in dynamic and it becomes an aggressive beast :)

@@coolkid123456100 running costs weren't too bad, averaged 21mpg which for the size of engine wasn't bad. Services and parts were more than the XF by about 30%. The biggest issue was that even in the 2014 model I had Jaguar used the old version of their entertainment system which was showing it's age even in 2014 and had some issues like not being able to connect correctly to my phone (galaxy s8) due to the version of Bluetooth. Reliability was ok, mine was only 2 years old with 6k on the clock when I got it and aside from a turbo issue which was covered under warranty no other problems. Have since traded it in for a BMW 335d xdrive, which might not have the same looks as the XKR but i much prefer driving it as everything works and the tech is much better.

Last service I had on mine from jaguar at 30k miles was about 2k, the basic service was £600 and it needed some other bits like brake pads. I was driving it every day for work though so if you keep the mileage down £1,500 a year might be doable aside from anything major going wrong.

Good choice young man! I spent a bit of time looking around for what perfect balance i could find. So a few months later a proud owner of a 2011 plate XKR 5 lire supercharger. It's a fab all rounder. I believe dateless. We just need to look after them like a top quality claret, improves with age. The driving gets better. 👍

you just gotta love the sound of that jaguar sweeeeeeet

@Lolf88 You mentioned tiny mind. Do you have to protect your position by sinking to this level.

it would be even better the xkr if it could have as an option a manual 6 speed transmision I love the Jag

i changed my mind, god the sound of that jag :O !

@NSRacer114 I dumped my SL 55 & Porsche for my first XKR, I absolutely love the XKR more than the others, I think the XKR identified me. I am not just another groupy. I am an American.

911 is more of a sports car, XKR is fully a GT, so its like comparing apples and oranges. As the owner of an XKR I don't feel I'm missing out on anything by not having a 911. If I had a 911 instead I'd feel like I'd be missing out on a lot.

My sister-in-law has one of these and it is an awesome car to drive. I'm hoping to have a shot of driving it in a couple of weeks. Yahoooooooo!

Do I get e92 m3 or the big supercharged jag?

I just came back from China last month and had the privilege of getting a ride in a Panamera turbo from Shenzen to Guangzhou. They proudly told me that the Panamera was launched last year in Shanghai. They also pointed out that Porsche is a quality German car while Jag is really an Indian car. It is quite understandable that Autocar would give the nod to Jag, because they still that it is a British car. Jag will be starting production in China next year

The suspension on the 911 is like a roller skate on cobles

@chucksworld679 lol... 911 is the line. theres like 17 varients now..? maybe 18.. carrera is the base model, and it goes up from there

I agree with Cookie Head, the market for this car in the US is really small - too many competitors in the price range.

@NasahrSandi9 So presumably you've driven both of them then?

this puppy is a drift machine for the old lads right after puting some holes in.

I think anyone would be happy with either car, both are brilliant!

Personally, I prefer jag over porsche, especially because of the look. And porsche ain't really my type of car, though I own and audi tt. May consider buying xkr in the future ;)

@NSRacer114 You are the smart one! Please do a search on my sign in name then you will see my Jag, as well as the Jag R racing school exclusively for 2010 and up XKR & XFR owners. I watch them because they relate to something I care about. Any other questions?

In DR's test the BASE 911 with PDK beat the NISSAN GT-R in a drag race.

And if your willing to be brave enough to stick out from the bunch and be different, not jumping on some brand name band wagon.

While most 20 year old are driving sport compacts I got vette. Still

Exactly!

listen to that note 0:34-0:37... better than Mozart....

Heheh.. Well you come from 1/4-mile Country! 0-60 has always just been used as a motoring benchmark to give an impression of acceleration. (If I remember rightly, a 5-year-old, 315bhp Subaru takes 4.2 seconds.) But, these days, the new accelerative standard is 62-155mph (100-250kph), primarily because it saves melting the clutch and munching the transmission. If I remember correctly, an Enzo takes about 6 seconds... I bet the Super-Duper Jag's time is measure with a calendar

@rickmathes Really! why don't you check out the JD Power & see what the research said. According to them, reliability goes to Jag too, sorry

@jagalarab It's called love... it's like when you choose a girl with a better personality; no one else understands. I feel you bro.

I'd have the Porsche, just because i prefer the design, i love the lag tho ^^

The Jag looks like a base Aston martin!!

@Falhok I would have the Jaguar over the Porche and I am Dutch, British cars beutiful and exciting. German cars are boring now and the Porche has had the same design for thirty years

There's a new Kia advert now. Ha, I thought the same thing.

I........LOOOOOOVE MY XK JAGUAR COUPE!!! Wouldn't trade it for anything else!!!

@Lolf88 Thirty years? This is basically Hans Ledwinka’s concept that goes back some 80 years. When you create the perfect mechanical form logic tells you can’t beat perfection; you can only tweak and evolve it. That is why Porsche was, is and always will be number one. :P

Jag,Fantastic car for as little as £15k, nice to drive every day,reliable,comfortable....no brainer. Totally different cars though. In my humble opinion, the lower cost Porsche looks disappointing in comparison to the upper end cars,almost cheap. Boxsters especially so. No offence btw

The Jag is defiantly better than the beetle.

I'd take both of those cars.

@NSRacer114 hello ricer fan. you´re wrong. I just took the jag - as a convertible. just because I like british cars. i am from germany and no, i don´t own the G55 anymore, I traded it for an other british vehicle. interesting how you think you can rate over other people.

We're both dealing in generalities, so we can each come up with examples that contradict what the other person is saying. Neither one of us is going to "win" this argument - glad that your experiences lead you to believe that there isn't much of an anti-German bias in Britain - my experiences have led to a different conclusion. I actually enjoyed our "discussion" - perhaps there's something else we can argue about...

They really aren't in the same league. And maybe it's just the video, but the XKR has a very blatty exhaust note.

Hint:Adblock

@yankees807 man that is exactly what i said.

they took them out on the new 2010 version. I rather have no foglights with 510 hp than 400 with them.

I go to watch a video of the XKR Vs the 911 and I get a Kia advert beforehand. Err, I think the user-profiling has gone a bit awry there. I wouldn't be seen dead buying a Kia thing!

The XKR's my faher's 2nd car. Allways happy when I'm allowed to drive it :-D The 911 is more a sportscar, the Jaguar's more the classical Gran Turismo. And lets cut the bullshit: Both of them has enough power to overtake :-D

I really need a subscription again.........

Right now, a comparable spec / year / mileage 911 is more than double the cost of an XKR . Not great for those who bought new, but for those interested in the second hand market, it makes the XKR an absolute bargain. I think the 911 is a ‘better’ car, but £25-£35k better?

you recommend jaguar because you're from the UK. you wish you could have a much technology as Porsche, just check the 918

I don't think these cars should be compared. 911 is a true, nimble sports car, but the Jaguar is a GT in the truest sense.

@AudiABTr8 Says the guy with Audi in his name haha

true , the Jag should go against the BMW 6 series and Mercedes SL

Conclusion: the jag is a nice car, but the porsche 911 is THE CAR.
