Jaguar X-Type Saloon (2001 - 2010) 2.0d S (08) 4d (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not sure, don't care. But my last X-type got nice comments off people and I've already been mistaken for a senior manger parking up, simply due to having the Jag. Would you get that in your Ford?

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

Dont know, don't care. I don't buy it for them.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Would buy any Jaguar. Had some problems with my old 3.0 V6 but it was still lots of fun to drive. This one isn't fun but steady and still says quality to me.

What are you likely to buy next?

I would hope a Jaguar of some kind, maybe a Lexus.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£7,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not bad. Got some money knocked off and extras thrown in. However, I had to replace the clutch, which I believe is common due to its high torque.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Quiet, smooth and steady, which you would expect with a Jag.

What's it like to park?

Easy with the sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not since clutch and passed its MOT recently clean. Thats a first for me..

What's most practical about your car?

Rear seats split and fold right back.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Auto lights saves flat battery, which I have had on passt cars by leaving lights on.
