From my first test drive I have been like a dog with two noses!!! It is pretty nippy and has good economy. Everything works and all the badges are fixed correctly, the windows stay closed and the auto door locks are a welcome standard fit. The seats are a little on the firm side, but still comfortable. I love the way it sticks to the road, inspiring great confidence when cornering and on twisting roads. It is a car that I am really pleased to have bought, it’s a pity it is no more (bring on the X F estate).

THE WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I bought an x-type estate for work, it was a top of the range deisel model. The interior additional accessories were top rate, although Ford switches and gauges left a lot to be desired. The first week I had it and keen to show it off I was on route to BrandsHatch Hotel for a business meeting. I went via Tunbridge Wells and picked up a colleague. I then drove along the A.21, as this is a duel carriageway I was anxious to try the car out I hit and maintained speeds of around the 85mph. As I reached the M.25 I felt the vehicle twitching at the rear end. I slowed and left the motorway to find a rear offside puncture. I changed the wheel and had to fit that rediculous space saver spare wheel (these in my opinion are positivly dangerous as you should be under 50mph but with a car of this calibre it is difficult epecially on an A road) Bad luck I thought, in fact I could not remember a puncture for years before. In the following three months I have had another three similar incidents resulting in a new tyre each time at £130 + vat. I spoke to Jaguar who were less than helpful, the attitude was we have got your money so bye bye. I spoke to Perelli who expressed a great interest but of course they wanted a tyre to examine and I could not recover one. I took legal advice and wsa informed that I had a case under the sale of goods act, but I have no money to take on the like of Jaguar. This has left a sour taste in my mouth. I would buy another Jaguar but definately NOT an X-Type.

The X Type has made driving a pleasure once more. It is comfortable, reliable and refined - the ride quality is the best I have ever encountered. Handling is responsive and the fuel economy is excellent for a car of its type. This is one of the least expensive executive cars and this should be taken into account when comparing it against much more expensive models. The car is unquestionably beautiful but the road noise is excessive and this stops me from awarding it 5 stars.

This is a very affordable car, not only to buy but to run. It’s a wonderful car to drive, perfectly balanced and gives a perfectly smooth ride, as you would expect. Well equipped and a very comfortable interior that seats 5 adults no problem. Good safety features mean it’s a good choice as a family car too. Lovely car.

The Jag X-type is the best car I have ever owned. A cheap Jag that is practical yet still has all the prestige of a Jag. Better by far than any of it’s near rivals.
