Good Points

People I come into contact with will generally be more impressed with the Jaguar badge than a Rover one.


Bad Points

I'm still a little envious that my wife's car has lots of goodies that my jag doesn't have!


General Comments

I bought a used (52 reg) x type recently. I did so after driving my wife's 2002 Rover 75 and thinking that I wanted to get out of my Mondeo and into something a little more refined.

Firstly I'd like to say that so far I'm a very happy man however a few things struck me as surprising about the Jag when comparing it to the 75...

Unfortunately for me I find that the 75 (which is the base Club model) has a lot more features than the Jag, including such things as climate control, rear air ducts, rear cabin lights, sunroof, steering wheel remote controls, information (for example outside temp), lumbar support, headlight washers etc etc.

I would have expected that being a Jaguar - there would have been more "goodies" than there actually is. Cruise Control would have been nice too but alas it doesn't have this either.

When comparing the actual drive I'd say that the 75 feels just as good as the Jag (lumbar support helps) and the dashboard just looks a bit more stylish.

One area where the Jag comes out on top is the sound system.
