Jaguar 2008 X-Type Saloon

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    So much prestige, quality and refinement for a relatively low cost.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Service costs aren't too bad though. As soon as you turn it on, you can see the fuel guage start to move. My current best with combined motorway and town driving is 268 miles from a £42 tank.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    An absolute pleasure. It purrs along the road, it's responsive, but at the same time elegant as you seem to silently glide over the tarmac.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    All that 'Sport' really gets you is 17" alloys and a different bodykit, it's hardly what you would call a driver's car from a raw power point of view, it's no Impreza Turbo!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    As of yet, have had no problems at all and the build quality is extremely good.

    It has very effectively avoided the 'old man's car' feel with the benefit of being rarer on the roads than BMW or Mercedes.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Extremely comfortable, even both as driver and passenger, even for people in the back and I'm 6' 7"!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Deadlocks, alarm, immobiliser, panic alarm, auto movement locking. Thought of everything.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very professional and give you the air of a value customer you would expect from a top marque.
