General Comments

OK, a lot of bad things have been said about the X-type by many people. I'm not one of them. I've owned a Jaguar X-type 3 litre SE from new and am well satisfied. The car's done nearly 60,000 miles in 3 years and it hasn't broken down once. The engine is a delight and the handling with 4WD truly excellent through corners. And the ride is pretty good too - I have never driven a more comfortable, responsive car. Maybe this is the Mondeo heritage, but who cares? It's a superb long distance cruiser which is very agile on side roads, as well as being reasonably economical. Even at 85 on the motorway I get close to 30 mpg, this out of a 240-something BHP power plant. It's had one recall for the automatic handbrake adjuster, and been in the shop for new side window rubbers and a minor niggle on the display computer. The only disappointment? The manual gearbox which is clunky and is not up to the performance standards of the rest of the car. Yes, I'd buy another one.
