2002 Jaguar X-Type 2.0 review from North America
"Affordable Jag?...what can I say!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission blew at 11.000 miles. After much research, I discovered that it was a 'one off'.
General comments?
Apart from the disaster with the transmission, which my dealer handled very well! The car has been tremendous. I love the feel and the handling is mind blowing. I live in Washington DC were snow is not uncommon, the four wheel drive was great.
I love the look of the car, except the rear... that does remind me of something 'ford-esque'.
