As the marketing slogan says – quality and refinement come as standard on the Jaguar X-Type. With a range of saloons and estates to choose from, the Jaguar X-Type offers real choice meaning you can find the vehicle that suits you as an individual.The Jaguar X-Type is in fact one of the smallest in Jaguar’s saloon series and takes much of its styling from the XJ. It is actually built on the same platform that is used as the base for the Ford Mondeo and is seen as a collaboration between the two companies – 10% of the parts are made by Jaguar, 20% by Ford. The Jaguar X-Type was first introduced in 2001 and is one of Jaguar’s best sellers.

Jaguar X-Type 2.0D Sport 2005

Went back countless times in warranty for the first three years (electrical, distribution, fuel leaked on engine, driver’s seat electrical motor, lighter, DSC computer), boot not opening, driver’s door not opening, hood not closing. Just after the warranty it left me in the road with a broken... I don’t know the term (the shaft that connects the gearbox with the wheel). A non buy. Forgot to mention - smoke at the exhaust for full throttle, sometimes the car doesn’t lock (have to reinsert the key).

Jaguar X-Type 2.0D S Estate Car 2005

Done 80,000 miles in three years and the biggest (and only) problem was that a catch of a cubby lid in the boot came unglued! If I hear a rattle, I know I have to tidy up the rubbish in the door bins, because there aren’t any loose trim rattles. Loads of torque, excellent fuel economy, total reliability, marvellous looks, people think it costs much more than it does to buy and run. Loads of space when you fold the seats, even though it’s low and sleek. Grace, pace, space, as the Jaguar slogan used to be. What more could you want? Oh yes, and it’s made in Britain. I already have an order in for the next one.

Jaguar X-Type Saloon SE petrol auto 6 pots 2005

If you want a trouble free Luxury Saloon, so easy to drive to North of Scotland and back, you could not do better. So it uses petrol, I am a low mileage user 4K/annum, so my outlay for fuel is not a problem. Never mind the pundits. If you are a petrol head like me and must have a class car, you cannot do better. I will be hanging on to mine for a while yet, as I love it.
