Bad Points: Yes; one thing, but not a bad point. when you come in 4 a main service, the plugs will need changing about every 15.000 mls to get at the plugs, which there is 6 of them the air manifold has to come off.if you can do it yourself, fine, but you have to replace the rubber gaskets, 6 of them at around 43.00, inc vat or about 1-2 hours labour dont need to go jag dealer? Any good garage will do?
General comments: I bought a 2.5 Jaguar X-type second hand from a garage in north Wales, a 2001 model, silver in colour, in great condition 4 the year. cloth interior, electric front windows air con,i must say well made inside ,a fell of quality, it was owned by a chap who hardly used it ,it only had 26.680 miles on the clock when he part ex d it. it has now done 30.000+mls now, and if you drive it at say a steady 50-60 you will return a gen 30=mls to the gallon. It also has a very good turn of speed if you get bored? Oops .having the same chassis as the Mondeo, but none the worse 4 that. Good handling. If you put in 36lbs of air in front and back tyres, dont worry that s what it say s in hand book. It has good boot space very quiet at speed, hardly any wind noise. Yes very pleased with it.
All in all a great car for the money roomy, quiet fast, frugal, and good quality, I recommend one.

I got the Jaguar X Type when I was 25 against the views of a few individuals as they said it was for the older person, it's not. I came from a BMW M5 and I drive about 80 miles daily it's now done 56k and it's the daddy. It looks nicer than a 3 series drives better than an Audi. I don't know what I love about it so much but it has never let me down, and every time I clean it a grin comes over my face. If you want to drive it fast you can but equally it is smooth enough to run in low gears and ...

I bought a second hand Jaguar X-type 2.5 V6 Sport with 65k miles on the clock. Have since replaced driver's seat squab and brake calipers/pads/discs.
Good performance, feels very safe.

The Jaguar X Type 2.5 V6 Sport Well sure footed 4x4 family car that can give many miles of fun if you wish but can accommodate grandparents and make them feel secure in style.
Plenty of front seat adjustment (electric) and tilt & rake on the steering wheel to obtain a good driving position. Dash nicely laid out without being cluttered and plenty of indication from invisible lights from the dash when warnings would be required cleverly disguised.
The 04 model now comes with two cup holders on t ...
