2002 Jaguar X-Type review from UK and Ireland
"Smart and smooth jaguar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window wiper motor went at around 70000 miles.
Boot lock broke at around 68000 miles.
Coil pack and 3 spark plugs failed after a driving through an unavoidable puddle of water.
Air-con packed up at about 65000 miles, quoted £600 to fix.
Both rear speakers blew after around 70000 miles.
General comments?
Very nice sounding v6 engine.
Nice smooth gear change but not the best auto I've driven.
Very cramped in the rear for such a large family saloon.
Nice size boot.
Base model came with very few gadgets, not even cruise control or steering wheel remote controls.
Petrol consumption around 27 mpg day to day town driving, expected from a 2.0 v6 petrol automatic.
Build quality and paintwork very good.
