2004 Jaguar X-Type SE review from UK and Ireland
"I would happily buy this type of car for the rest of my life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the remotes doesn't work very well and has been repaired twice.
The boot does not always close first time.
The external temperature gauge failed.
The car was recalled by the manufacturer due to a potential fire risk of an electrical cable being too close to a hot part of the engine.
General comments?
I love driving this car. It handles well, performs well and is seriously comfortable.
I also love all the features and toys it has with it eg heated seats, reverse park aid, cruise control.
It is the most economical car I have ever had, averages 40mpg, once I got 65mpg out of it over a long run cruising steadily at 55mph.
It only cost £115 for a years tax.
Insurance is cheap.
