Hey I've been goin back and forth now for over a year. I'm ready to move on from my 00 Jaguar XKR coupe. I've been a jag fan for a while this is my 5th. After watching top gear's review of the 02 Maser Coupe it made me somewhat concerned. Basically they said the maser was "Stuck between a Jaguar rock and a Ferrari hard Place". Not luxurious enough to be a Jag but not fast enough to be a Ferrari.
It's not that I feel the jag is SLOW (370hp,383tq) but my biggest problem with it is the fact that all they offer for it is an automatic. And since I had a and 05 GTO (400hp,400tq) 6 speed before I miss having control and of course the Goat was faster
I'd just like to know what I'll be missing when I give up the XKR. And what I'll be gaining. I mean I'm young and there are not many XKRs in the area so I get plenty of looks and "what kind of car is that?" so I'll be use to that even though I'm sure you'll get more in the Maser.
The XKR Navigation sucks too in comparison to my Infiniti FX35 so I don't think the maser can be much worse. I raced an M3 the other night and WALKED him,lol. But I'm not beating the cobra's like I use to in the GTO
I think the jag is a very sexy car but I need something a little more aggresive and youthful.
I haven't even had a chance to drive a Maser yet due to the fact of how hard they are to locate around here and the nearest dealer being almost an hour away and me not wanting to drive all that way just to hear from them they want to pull credit, take a blood sample, and hold my dog hostage just to drive a $50k preowned car because I'm young and they figure I'm out playing games. And plus I don't plan to buy from them anyways. I think I've located the one I want in Texas.
Anyone in the Chicago area willing to let me drive their coupe I'd appreciate it. You're more than welcome to feel the wrath of Jag-u-ar
Any insight you guys can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks!
