Jaguar X-Type Estate (2004 - 2010) 2.2d Sovereign 5d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Practical

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Love the interior and drool over the dashboard. No one says there is anything low rent about it

Would you buy this car again and why?

Can't as they've stopped making it. But no hesitation in recommending this as a used car. The fact that it is a 'Mondeo in a dress' only adds to its reliability. For smooth all-day driving it is a great car with bags of tug on overtaking. Alpine sound system is marvellous. All in all it is stylish, brisk, economical and trouble-free.
