Click to enlarge. 2007 Jaguar XK FAQ With excellent driving dynamics and blue-ribbon design, the 2007 Jaguar XK is a strong competitor in the luxury coupe and convertible market – despite offering a slightly underpowered engine and a soft-top convertible in a retractable hardtop world.

What are best things about the 2007 Jaguar XK?
Its styling is very strong, and the revised six-speed transmission makes the most out of the engine’s 300 horsepower. With a stiffer and lighter aluminum chassis, the Jaguar XK doubles as a capable tourer and a sporty-driving coupe and drop top.

What should keep me from buying a 2007 Jaguar XK?
More horsepower would be nice, but only for braggin’ rights, as the XK’s snappy transmission and light weight keep things lively. Either way, wait about a year and the XKR will debut, and your horsepower jones will be sated. Shoppers may not be enamored with a soft-top convertible when competitors such as Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac offer power retractable hardtops.

Coupe or convertible, which 2007 Jaguar XK is better?
The convertible is hard to say no to, but if you don’t care about open-air driving, the coupe’s design takes the day. Fit 20-inch wheels and get to drivin’.
