| DRIVING RATING: |
 |
Both models are automatic only, so what could be easier? Just point the XK in the right direction and it will do the rest. It's especially good at long-distance cruising, especially when fitted with radar cruise control, which automatically maintains your distance from the car in front. Parking is less easy - you sit low, and the tapered nose and tail make parking guesswork, unless you order parking radar. If the XK has a weakness, it's here. More memorable for the comfort of its ride than its ability to slice through bends, the XK can get about very smartly indeed, but never really encourages you to drive it hard. Keen drivers will always prefer a Porsche 911, even if the XKR is more than competent. Instead, the Jag delivers satisfaction through the subtleties of quiet potency, indomitable stability and supreme cruising capability.
