Jaguar Consumer Car Reviews

Jaguar X-Type S.E. 2003

Having owned this particular vehicle now for nearly two years I thought it was about time that I dropped my comments in on the sea of reviews that sail across the internet, some with sails, most without. When I first purchased the delightful 2.0 litre S.E model, a platinum coloured car from a local dealer I was silently assured in my outer ego that luxurious driving is all about the history book's and racing breeds of yesterday that is Jaguar, (or should that be was, Jaguar?)

I was impressed with the engine, I mean who wouldn't be ... 2 litres of gentle cattish purring ... smooth and comfort in every aspect of the cars coat and internal plushness ... oh and not forgetting the array of buttons and gadgets that surround you in the not quite "top of the range" version of the X-Type saloon. The first drive was impressive, the next twelve months or so was my Jaguar honeymoon period where you see it ... you want it ... and basically you have it, (this reminds most guys of early dating games and the girls who used to oblige!). And finally, the past nine months where the old style classic shapes and internal leather belongings seem to be a little tiring in the now updated and refined competitive marques that simply offer a longer lasting vision of what cars should be when they pass you on motorways and in back lanes without seemingly even trying too hard.

It has been a steady jog owning a Jaguar x-type, and now I think I am ready for a few sprints and long distance races, guess what ... think i will go and test drive the new 3 series, oh and should really check out the Z4, but just when your mind wants to jump in and lock horns with a competitor ... they go and release the Jaguar XF! It’s bloody hard deciding when you have pond of vehicles all swimming to reach your financial shores, and the resting place of an assured and certain mind. I think every honest driver should take a look at the Jaguar X-type range, but reckon most of them would do this for heritage rather than personal privilege ... It's been fine owning the car, driving the car, servicing the car, washing the car, but just not what i thought it was going to be. X-Type or your type...you decide.

Jaguar S-Type 2.7 V6 SE 4dr 2006

An absolutely classy car. Nothing drives like it or gives you that level of refinement and quality.

Jaguar XJ 2.7 TDVi 2007

A sporty saloon which is refined and agile. Much better than it predecessor.

Jaguar XF v8 2007

Both sporty and luxurious, this car is well ahead of anything in its class.

Jaguar XF 4.2 SV8 4dr 2008

Being a very, very, lucky boy and knowing some very nice German people I recently had the honour of test driving this car. What an absolute dream of a car. I can’t tell you how perfectly balanced and intune the SV8 is. It’s almost like you’re static and the world is moving around you. Just blew me away. This car will be available in this country early next year and I think that Jaguar are going to be selling an awful lot of them. Fabulous.

Jaguar X-Type 2.0D Sport Estate 2007

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.

Jaguar X-Type Estate 2.0D S 5dr

It’s a Jag so you know it’s going to be good. Ticks all the boxes for space, performance and comes generously equipped. The driving position however could be better designed and you do feel this on long journeys but overall a very refined car.

Jaguar XK Coupe 4.2 XK 2dr

The XK is an amazing car and I am having an absolute ball driving it. This car really has it all, precision engineering, luxurious comfort and drop dead gorgeous looks. Yes, it is thirsty and no, I don’t care. You don’t even look at a car like this if your main priority is economy let’s face it. This car is simply class!

Jaguar XK Convertible 4.2 XKR 2dr

Drive this and you won’t want to drive anything else. Some cars make heads turn, this one makes your jaw drop. Elegance and power on 4 wheels!
