2001 Jaguar X-Type SE review from UK and Ireland
"The best looking small executive car on the market"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The boot lock suffers with sticking when opened with the key. This is ongoing. The boot will open normally if the button is used.
General comments?
This car is everything I expected it to be. It is quick enough to keep me ahead of trouble and comfortable enough for me, my wife and two kids to go anywhere without a problem.
It is beautiful on the outside and luxurious on the inside.
If you're thinking of buying one, I would recommend the winter pack, which comes with the automatic headlights and automatic windscreen wipers. This has been the best option that I have fitted to this car and I specified many when I ordered the car.
The xenon headlamps work fine, but aren't worth £700 in my opinion.
