2005 Jaguar X-Type SE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Jaguar X-type, the BMW 3-Series, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A4. These 4 cars comprise the category, and each one of the cars has its own charm. A lot of the reviewers criticise the X-type in comparison with the other 3 cars in terms of price and performance. However, I think they're being a bit unfair when they're comparing against those models for one reason. They're often comparing the X-Type AWD (all wheel drive) with 2-wheel drive versions of the other cars. The thing is, if you compare the Jaguar X-Type with the BMW 3-Series, lets say the Jaguar X-Type 2.5 and the BMW 325xi, the Beemer is much more expensive here; the same with the Mercedes AWD and the Audi Quattro.
For that reason, I think the X-Type is the best value of them all in terms of what you get for your money, plus it's the most luxurious.
