Jaguar X-Type Saloon (2001 - 2010) 3.0 V6 SE 4d (2003/03) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Style, Class, Performance.

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

Most of them like it. Some say old mans car, but soon change their mind once they've been in it!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, but may plump for the 2.2D option and an estate (boot on mine is big but very shallow)

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably something cheaper to run, due to changing circumstances.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£11,000

When did you buy the car?

August 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. Got very good trade in on my old car and many extras thrown in to sweeten the deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something fast, comfy, reliable and practical. This fitted the bill.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly and helpful, without being pushy. Unlike some other dealers I visited who were all over you the minute you stepped onto the forecourt.

What's it like to drive?

Handles like a wasp. Picks up speed well and sounds nice too.

What's it like to park?

Very easy if you back it in due to the sensors. Bonnet is longer than you think.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only the usual consumables.

What's most practical about your car?

Big boot, 5 seats (at a squeeze), 4 wheel drive.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise Control.
