Good Points

Great looking car.
Love the 17" Wheels and Pirelli PZeros!
Opening boot glass very handy.
great seats (on 'S' Model).
Super engine.
Leather everywhere (on 'S' model).


Bad Points

Smaller than the Mondeo it replaced.
Grille is a little plasticy.


General Comments

I have a 2005 'S' model Jaguar X-Type with full leather, and a few other bits and bobs incl. It has dynamic stability control (or whatever it's called). It replaced a lowly Mondeo (2002) diesel, so I was familiar with the engine dynamics. The seats are brilliant, and make me appreciate the handling of this car. It tickles along at 100mph all day long (not in this country). I drove two 4 hour journeys in one day, and felt 100% better than I did in the Mondeo.
I recommend this car. I looked at the Classic and it was not a patch on the 'S' or Sport models.
Cheaper to lease than Audi and BMW. At the time of writing this review, Jaguar has slashed 25% off lease costs!! So get one now!
