Is an XK R the default choice?

Not sure on that at all

The revised internals on headlights of the final facelifted cars are fine by me

Started to give some serious thought about my next car

The XK R has been considered before and was ruled out, I simply did not like the front end styling but only just discovered that the final facelift models have headlights with reconfigured internals and to my eyes makes a world of difference, also on browsing the classified noticed a few late cars with performance seats that really make a big difference to the interior

Well, having owned a 2010 and a 2015 XK Supercharged I can't say I noticed a big difference internally or externally however each to his/her own. If small things like internal headlamp configurations make a big difference to you I think you are in for a world of pain. BTW I prefer the older look, not keen on daytime 'eyebrow' running lights but there you go.

It's simple - decide if you prefer to look at a car or drive it. If the latter, get in them and drive them. You'll soon find out. Good luck!

Father in law has an xkr convertable. Fabulous, but the seats might not even be there, so if you want rear seats...

Aston rapide, panamera or quattroporte in budget?
Lotus Evora?

2 seats there is huge choice....

The later lights are loads better than the original imo. That makes them a future classic over the first one. Lovely looking car. The first ones always look awkward to me.
