2001 Jaguar X-Type Sport review from Japan
"A Ford or a Jaguar???"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I'm not really satisfied of the reliability because I had trouble with the electronic dash.
Some things in the car don't work like the lights on the dash. I thing it's because of Ford. FORD, LEAVE JAGUAR ALONE PLEASE!!!
My S-Type was very reliable and I didn't have trouble. I changed for a X-Type because the fuel is too expensive.
My S-Type was the best car I ever had!
General comments?
This Ford... oops sorry, Jaguar X-Type
has a Ford engine, water pump and frame.
The electronic isn't good, and I'm curious if the engine will not let me down after few miles... I love the comfort, the driving and the style.
The Jaguar XJ8, Vanden Plas and XK8 are very reliable cars and also the S-Type.
The V8 engine is good but the V6, the same as what they sell in Mazdas and Fords! Yes I love Jaguar, but the X-Type, I'm not sure yet, or may be I'm not lucky!
