Am I too young for a new shape XKR??

[bing]

...being only 33!!!

I think I am in love with them. Just checking the web for dealers near me where I can get a test drive...

I've always looked at Jags as 'dads' cars....

Oh and does anyone here know of a decent car back car seat for a 1 year old in a new shape XKR??

many

thanks....

Rear child seats in XK/XKR's are mutually incompatible with car seats. Or children.

Try the Audi section for a labrador carrying ueber estate.

And no, at 33 you are not too young. The lower the age demographic driving Jaguars the better as far as I am concerned. It signifies indifference to what the crowd are doing or driving.

You mean like the V8 powered RS4... Yes that too is on my list of cars to try before I buy!!!

[FWDRacer]

Not wishing to sound like somebodies Dad as also I'm 33 and have 3.5 year old. The Rs4 estate makes loads more sense a the stage of life you are at/approaching.

An XKR will be worth the wait...

Yes I can see your point mate.....From Lotus to RS4 I'm not sure I can go from quirky (lotus) to sensible (RS4) straight away, I may need to look at other options 997 perhaps??? or even the Maserati GS but the running costs/reliability scare me with that one!!!

I got my new shape XKR at 33, the stereotype of Jags being old mans cars doesn't do the brand any good, but it's definately not justified.

Don't worry what other narrow minded people think if you want it get it, you definately won't regret it.

I've got a XKR and I'm 63



Most of the people I overtake must think I'm 23

[FWDRacer]

At 63 with great big stickers of leaping cats down the side of your car, your age is the last thing you should be worried about people thinking about you

i have the older XKR, i was 29 when i got it!
not had any comments about it being a old mans car.

[Jaguar steve]

I've had Jaguars since I was in my early 30's.

When I was young they were indeed old man's cars. Now I'm old(ish) they certainly are not

[carter711]

33 is fine for a new XK, i'm 23 and think about buying an X300 XJR6 on a regular basis!

[__G__]

Well I own an V8 XJR at 22 so I'm thinking the XKR at 33 is more than OK!

[ALEXDB9]

I got my XK a year ago when I was 19. Age is just a number old guy

[oversteerxj12]

Don't be daft!
I'm 28 with an old school XJ12

Chicks love jags....

[Shnozz]

29 when I bought my x-type earlier this year as a daily hack. Pipe and slippers me up.

If you have to go for a 2 door, go for the Mazza, as it is the only one with two real back seats.

IMHO, the new XKs are much more of an old codger's car than the previous shape. The 2004/5 models look much sportier and are much lower and more streamlined. I was shocked when I first stood next to the new shape - it's almost as high as a people carrier and altogether much squarer and blockier than my lovely 04 model. Believe me, in years to come when people talk about the classic XK, they won't be referring to the new models.

[onlynik]

33 and I've an XKR.

Wanted one for years.

Had an XJ6 before the XKR

I bought my first Jag when I was 21. This age thing in my opinion is ridiculous.

[a8hex]

Jag never were old mans cars, at least not since they stopped making the Mk IX in about 1961. Every Jag since then has been too low to the ground for the old mens knees to cope with. Once they become old they are forced to get out of the Jag and buy something like a Beemer.

I was in my early thirties when I got my first Jag.
