2002 Jaguar X-Type SE review from UK and Ireland
"Sensible and comfortable, but won't break any land speed records"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have ever had is that the passenger airbag light stays on occasionally.
General comments?
I was very apprehensive before buying this car, given the poor reputation of Jaguar, and having read some of the reviews.
There was slightly less that 20K miles on the car when I bought it, and I have slightly more than 30K on it now.
I am very happy with my purchase! I have not had one single problem with the car. It looks great and regularly receives compliments (usually from people who know nothing about cars!!).
I had the Volvo S80 before this, and while it was certainly quicker than the Jag, it certainly wasn't more comfortable. I have also had the E200 Merc, and I wouldn't put them in the same ballpark.
It is a bit heavy on juice, especially around town, but given that I don't do much mileage, this isn't a problem.
I can't comment on the main dealer as I get it serviced by a local non-franchised garage.
Overall, I would have no hesitation in recommending this car. While it is slow from a standing start, it will move well once it gets going.
