Jaguar X-Type Saloon (2001 - 2010) 2.2d S (08) 4d (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It's traditionally an old mans car, but once you look past that image, you find an excellent car.

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

They were sceptical, but as soon as they had a look around and went out for a drive, they all changed their tune.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would buy this car again, though don't think i'll get the chance as they've stopped making them in 2010.

What are you likely to buy next?

Hard to say. I think I would look at either a Merc or an Audi.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£10,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Very good price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Dealer was very professional.

What's it like to drive?

The steering is sensitive, making the handling feel a little distant, though you get used to it. The acceleration is very good on the 2.2D.

What's it like to park?

Excellent. I was worried about this, but the front and rear parking sensors make it effortless.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing to date.

What's most practical about your car?

The boot is a great size.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Packed full of amazing gadgets, but if I had to choose, I would have to say the small hook that pops out from the glove box handle. Perfect for transporting a take away (without having it roll around the floor).
