2002 Jaguar X-Type review from North America
"Never will I buy another Jaguar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had an electrical problem with the computer. The car goes into "fail safe" and won't go over 2700 rpm.
Transfer case was worked on previously, and the job was poor. There were bolts left out, and the transfer case came loose and damaged the transmission, transfer case and clutch.
General comments?
When it was running, I enjoyed the quickness and handling.
It was a little cramped on longer rides, and not at all reliable.
