I bought a Jaguar 2.0d x-type estate on a 05 plate 2 years ago.
I have no issues with the cars aesthetics, the leather seats are very nice, the extras such as rear park assist and electric / heated seats are all fine. My issue lies in the reliability of the car. I have only ever got 40mpg and we don't drive the car fast, so I'm not sure where the 48 comes from that Jag refer to! Also, the whole turbo needed replacing at a cost of £2000! Not really something you would expect on a 4 year old car with a hefty price tag. I've since found out that Ford have been fitting the Jags with dodgy 2003 spec Modeo diesal engines, which are prone to Turbo problems. Again, not something you would expect with the Jag brand. They really are ruining the Jag image and brand name! All in all, I wouldn't recommend a Jag, my old Seat Ibiza was much cheaper, more frugal and more reliable with pretty much all the same extras (exc the leather)!
