Faults:

The cigarette lighter stopped working at 100,000 miles.

Replacement clutch required at 57,000 and 112,000. Don't use the car much now, mainly for track days.

Difficult to park.

General Comments:

Lovely car to look at. Looks fast even when standing still.

Great sound from the engine.

Handles well in power slides.

Faults:

Very little has gone wrong with this car. There was minor problem with the brake lights - the bulbs kept blowing every couple of months - but this was sorted out by an auto-electric shop relatively cheaply. I also find that the brakes need frequent attention, which is usually costly.

General Comments:

I previously owned a 1998 reg. XK8 and to be honest I found that this car was more comfortable to drive and handled better than the xj220, despite the fact that it only cost me about 1/3 of the price of the xj220. Also I find the interior of the xj220 to be very bland for such an expensive car. My 220 has a black leather interior and a black dash, while the xk8 had cream leather interior and plenty of Walunt veneer around the dash area - altogether the xk8 was a much more classy car inside.
