2004 Jaguar X-Type Classic review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent - the affordable, classic modern Jaguar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Surprisingly failed the MOT in 2008 - worn bush on nearside rear suspension, which required replacing the small swinging arm complete.
General comments?
I love this Jaguar - great classic Jaguar looks (baby XJ!) with a lovely torquey, silky smooth diesel engine. Great to drive with more than enough power, very economical (46mpg average), & comfortable.
A personal comment - don't like hearing the car slagged off by "BMW snobs." Have ridden in a few BMWs over the years (3 & 5 Series) & found them about as comfortable as a park bench!
