Pondering A Jaguar
Well, thought I'd say hello and do a quick intro. Been browsing around fora convertible for awhile now, going on 6 months give or take. Started off browsing around for a little Miata, just missed having a convertible and now that I'm down in Florida figured it was as good a time as any.
Miata led to thinking about the Mazdaspeed version they made, then on to alternatives such as the Z3, 350Z, S2000, and Boxster. But all of them seemed to be lacking a little something. I'd always loved the look of the XK8s, but was a little skittish due to the 'Jag Maintenance' horror stories. But the more I researched, much of it on these boards, the more comfortable I got. Finally came down to the S2000 and the XK8/R for various reasons. Completely different cars but something about each which I just enjoyed.
But the XK8 finally won me over when I sat in a couple. Just felt right. Still haven't found the one, and still debating a bit between the 8 and the R, but just a matter of time now til I find one I can't resist. Looking forward to joining the ranks.
