"Grace with pace - it says it all"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Door rattles in a couple of doors.

General comments?

This is everything you expect a Jaguar to be.. graceful, quiet, smooth, quick. You can drive this car for miles without feeling stressed.

Niggles, well the instrumentation is horribly cheap which is a shame considering it's straight in front of you all the time you're in it (I see they've done a much better job in the new X Type).

The pop out phone holder is hilarious - around the size of a small put-you-up bed. This is funny given that the phone they supply is a tiny Motorola Startac.

The seats could be a little more supportive without going 'Teutonically' solid.

The nice thing is the way the car just goes when you put your foot down - no fuss, no noise, just sheer go. You don't even know that you're going at any speed until you look down.

A superb car to drive and no warranty problems whatsoever in three years. Engagement of automatic traction control can be a bit disconcerting - makes awful graunching noise but appears to keep car under control on mud, ice etc.

Occasional door rattle in nearside rear door and small vibration has developed within the plastic fascia ventilation.

Seats are hard on long journeys - my Volvo 960 seats were much more comfortable.
