"Very good, very economic, great fun to drive"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Squeak from handbrake cable - fixed at dealers in first month.

General comments?

This car is the SE version with folding mirrors, reversing aid, met paint and sat navigation (this is one thing that as a business driver I will never want to be without having had it, fantastic system, but £2,000 extra!)

Genuine 50+ mpg on a run, very economical and very quick!

Can't think of anything wrong with this car. Quick and economical with a good image, what more is there?

My car is gold with cream leather, must be the best colour way, have a look at it yourself!

I have the exact same car, colour, spec etc and when its good its very very good and when its bad, the dealer at Cardiff is hopless. Can't get jobs resolved, have to wait a month to get the car into the workshops. I will go back to a BMW just because I can't stand the hassle of Jaguar ownership.

That's from a bloke whos second car was an XK120 (long ago) e type, loads of MK2s etc this was my first new Jag (number 11!) what a shame!

I have now owned a 2 litre diesel SE for 3 years. The car is fantastic, never letting me down.

Yes, some of the comments are correct, the dealers could provide a better service.

There is a common fault with these cars, rust under the chrome boot strip, above the rear number plate. Therefore, when purchasing a second hand car check for this.

The cars are well designed, standing out in the crowd and very cheap to run. My brother bought a Sports Premium after driving my SE. Both he and I are so pleased with the cars that we will buy another Jaguar in a year or so.

PS my other car is a Mercedes C220 so I feel I can compare like with like.
