Jaguar X-Type Saloon 3.0 V6 Sport 4d Auto (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
The base car price is peanuts for what you get however, the options can quickly add up.
Costs
Servicing is reasonable and, unless driven hard, the fuel consumption is excellent (far lower than I expected).

Driving
The sports suspension is perfectly balanced to give firmness or comfort as required. The steering is accurate and the chassy is unflappable.
Performance
The emphasis of a car like this is that there is ample power available for effortless, lazy cruising but, if you want to, you can leave most things standing when the lights go green!

Living with it
Reliability
Has never let me down yet. However, it was subject to a recall.
Image
Never fails to impress.
Comfort
Absolutely superlative. From the side-hugging sports seats to tactile switch gear, the experience is second to none in the class. Navigation and automatic headlights and wipers perfect the experience.

Security and Service
Security
It has never been tested, but I believe the security is up there with the best.
Service
The Jaguar dealer service is exemplory, which contrasted pleasantly to the shoddy service I received at other prestige marques' dealers.
