    My car

    I was invited for a ride and drive event today by Minster Jaguar of York and had the pleasure of a drive in the new XKR 5.0 and the XFR 5.0. All I can say is WOW. Both cars were amazing - The XFR is very rapid, has wonderful linear steering and yet remains very comfortable and controlled. The XKR has a slightly harder edge - the exhaust is louder and the suspension a little firmer, boy does this thing fly though! The gearbox is seamless, ride quality excellent and the steering / handling balance is sublime.

    The XKR must be the best sports GT available in the world right now - I am currently phoning around to see how much discount I can get off one before I place an order. If you need 4 / 5 seats then the XFR most probably is the next best thing.
