Lexus SC430. For all 10 spots. Edit for elaboration: small back seats are expected in sports cars or mini coopers. But the SC is fairly large, and not sporty. There's no excuse for the backseat to be so awful. So, it's the worst.

this car is so underrated, it looks sooo stunning in person. I was fortunate enough to see one in person about 8-9 years ago. Super low, very mascular, and the colour just pops so much. I predict it will go up in price in the future.

It is not a mystery. and it become a composite when it is combined with resin or other materials, A fabric covered hardcover book technically has a composite cover by definition. Aloha

I have an XFR and love it. Sure, its not as fast as the M5 or S6 or E55, but who can drive that fast on normal roads any way? It's just an awesome machine with enough power to get out a sticky situation when I need to and the luxury that comes with it is an added bonus. Mine is fully loaded, even with adaptive cruise and accident detection with auto braking. After all these years, this car has held up well and not one leak from underneath.

One quirk you missed Doug is all the Spitfire allusions in the car: it’s made at Browns Lane Coventry, where during the war Spitfires were made. As a result, the shape of the rear lights is reminiscent of the Spitfire wing and the rings inside the rear lights are an allusion to the roundels on the aircraft. Inside the dash panel in front of the passenger loosely does the same thing. The cooling vents in the bonnet are loosely styled on the Merlin exhaust ports. There are a large number of little Easter eggs in the car alluding to it’s history too. I had the XK-R and it’s a wonderful beefcake: it has great duality of personality. It can run down to the shops like Mrs Miggins but open the taps up and pure fury is released, along with the battlefield sound track. In the upper speed range it annihilates pretty much anything on the road, I’ve had mine up well over 160mph on the autobahn and it’s pulling like a train (although you need speed and black packs on the regular R to go over 155). I drove mine through France to the Picos mountains in Spain, and it was the most brilliant GT ever (assuming there are two of you). An interesting point is that the coupe and the convertible are the same car: the roof is added on after body-shell construction for the coupe. It means the coupe has superb stiffness, it isn’t reliant on the roof for rigidity. I don’t believe the gear selector is an issue unless the car is very old. I had no problems with mine in 40K miles of ownership except constantly wondering if it had a hole in the fuel tank…

I own one, and my advice for all modern jags would be to learn to do your own work. That's not to say it's unreliable, in fact I'd argue the opposite. But when something does pop up, places will try to charge a premium when im reality it's not that difficult a car to work on.

I’ve always loved the styling on this jag. Hopefully to have one in my collection some day

That color has to be one of the best colors in the car industry. That color on the c8 corvette is better though. Thanks for making the day better mr. Doug!

I have a 2012 XKR with the Dynamic package, next closest to the XKR-S, mostly just missing the S front end. I love the car. I disagree regarding unusable backseats and practicality. The backseats are great for kids when they are not too young and not too big. Our 4 and 6 year olds love sitting in the back. We take the car on family road trips; recently did a week long trip to the mountains. It's comfortable, sounds amazing, fast, has the space for everything we need, and is awesome on back roads. It is also split personality... quiet, comfortable cruising grand tourer, but then put it in Sport and Dynamic modes, opening the active exhaust, shifting manually, and it becomes a wild beast.

I love this gen of Jag...the XK, XF, and XJ in my opinion were some of the most beautiful cars coming out back in 05-2010. My friends grandma had an XK in 2006, that thing seemed like a spaceship compared to a Merc SL.

I drive a 2017 F Pace, V6. The gear selector is still the same (they changed it in 2021 only). Also Jags have the best exhaust note (both V8s and V6s or even lower engines) from factory. I really like the vehicle, its amazing to drive and pretty solid. Recently did a Supercharger lower crank pulley and Stage 2 Tune and she is rocking now!

My dad got one of these recently and he’s gonna be excited to see you’ve finally done a review for it.

This is easily one of my top 5 favorite cars ever made of all time & yes has to be in this color.. One of my favorite cars to play in video games, very noticeable exhaust all the time. This will be something I will seek in the next 5-10 years when I place to store it.

Doug, thanks for finally reviewing. I offered up my 2013 XK-R which has Speed and Dynamic packs making it close to an XK-RS...but this one is better for sure. Seats in the back? They're for storage of course...and the home screen on the display is always there. You won't get to stay on the stereo screen, it will bump to home by itself in a bit. So you can track your heated seats without issue. The car is classy and a head turner. Stunning exterior that I get near constant compliments about, even after 4 years of ownership. Good vid!

Can't wait for the video on that larval-stage fiero from the Cars & Bids promo!

"Another mistake Jaguar made because they didn't have experience designing modern car interiors was putting the climate controls in the infotainment screen." Whew, glad nobody does that today! Right, Lexus? Right? *Right?*

It's a weird thing to do because the X-type, S-type and XJ, which all also had touchscreens, had physical buttons for heated seats. Then with the next generation (XK, XF and I *think* the last XJ) they inexplicably moved it to the touchscreen. So it wasn't a lack of experience, it was just a weird decision. Jaguar's always been more advanced than they get credit for, and one example is that I think they were the earliest manufacturer to use touchscreens across their entire model range.

@@xd1771 Nothing major, and mine had 120k miles on it when i got it. The engine's been flawless, most of my problems have been linked to the battery and air con. Battery drain is quite high, so many owners have it on a trickle charger if not daily driving it, otherwise that can cause issues. If you're seriously looking, Google the duckbill issue related to the AC as that is a relatively common problem that can be expensive to fix. The TPMS is a pain in the arse too. Mine cost £12k, so was spectacular value for money, so long as you can afford running costs. Insurance is good, UK road tax is high and I average 26 mpg(UK). Great fun though, and I'm really struggling to find something to replace it with that matches it for comfort, performance and prettiness.

Doug, the XKR-S GT had a different steering rack which provided heavier steering and better road feel. The good news is that it was compatible with all XK series cars.
