I had my heart set on a Jaguar for about 3 years since my Dad bought his, so it's still very hard to believe and sink in that I actually bought one.
When I test drove it (I bought the top SE model), I was surprised at how smooth the drive was for a diesel, and how good a job Jaguar have done in sound-proofing the interior. The interior is a lovely place to be, with good leather seats more comfortable than the suit in my house. Steering is effortless, and easier to park than my old Rover 416. I also admire the exterior and it is a far better car than it's competitors..the BMW 3 series and Merc C Class. All I can say is I'm glad I didn't buy a SAAB 9-3, or Honda Accord.
The 2.0d is actually a turbo so it is very fast, but not so much it would get you into trouble, and it's also much more economical than it's petrol counterparts. On collecting mine, I immediately topped up £10 of diesel and have been "testing" it quite a lot but that £10 has seen me through for 5 full days before the "45 mile to go" warning light came on. I then filled the tank costing £59, and it tells me there's 450 miles in that tank which works out about 39mpg - Not bad for a powerful big car.
I would recommend this car to anyone.

My Jaguar X-type 2.0 diesel is superb - it never misses a beat.
