Summary
What does this car say about you?
Old mans car. Its not really an old mans car but thats what people assume.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Liked it at first. Then heard about the problems and were amazed at such poor quality for a so called premium brand
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. Nice looking car but poor build quality and poor dealers. I've found this car a total disappointment in all respects.
What are you likely to buy next?
Back for Ford or Vauxhall for me. If you're considering an X-type, save yourself a few quid and just get the Mondeo instead. Believe me, you'll only regret buying the Jag.
