2007 Jaguar XKR Review

Visibility

This is a close-coupled two-door, so visibility is limited in every direction except for directly in front of you. The long hood is visible from the driver’s seat, but not the nose, which can make parking the XKR an equal combination of skill and crossed fingers. Look out back and things are tougher. The sloping rear glass creates huge blind spots and turns lane changes into a memory game – what happened to that motorcycle anyhow? The rear glass didn’t help much. We don’t know if it was the glass, the severe angle, or a combination of both, but warps and waves in the glass turned the world behind us into a funhouse mirror.
