2002 Jaguar X-Type 2.5 review from North America
"Cool, sophisticated car-not a reliable one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wind Shield wipers going on automatically even when there is no rain.
Exhaust is rattling.
Driver seat is rocking slightly back and fourth.
Car sometimes hesitates when accelerating.
General comments?
I enjoy driving it, but I also am glad I leased it. It seems as though it will be a rather unreliable car. TYPICAL JAGUAR! It still looks beautiful though!
