Jaguar X-Type Saloon (2001 - 2010) 2.0d S (08) 4d (2008/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not sure, except like my other X-type, people do comment on the fact how can I afford one. Even my previous X-type, just before I got rid at 10 years old, some young lad commented on "nice motor you have there" as he passed by.

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

Not sure, but don't care. If they didn't like it would still by one

Would you buy this car again and why?

Would buy any Jag again.

What are you likely to buy next?

Maybe the XF.

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?

Knocked some money off for not taking their warranty.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had a 3.0 X-type previously. Wanted prestige at a low price.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Lovely. Like all Jags, quiet after the initial noisy diesel start, then it's quiet when driving with 6 speed gearbox. Ride just right, not hard like a BMW.

What's it like to park?

Parking sensors make it ok.

Have you had any problems with the car?

New clutch needed but its 80,000 on clock and for the 2.2d its normal. SO be aware. Its been happy motoring since.

What's most practical about your car?

Split seats at back which fold fully forward.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Auto lights, so I don't get a flat battery
