2005 Jaguar X-Type Luxury review from Australia and New Zealand
"Buy one, don’t be another BMW or Mercedes on the road – trust me, you’ll love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This car not only looks gorgeous, but drives even better than it looks. You can drive it like a limo with passengers sitting serenely in the back; or drop them off and head to the freeway!
Boy, what a growl the engine gives under throttle - how about the AWD handling and precision steering?! Just be careful when accelerating hard, the gearbox can 'jump' a little (this is the only grumble). The Sat Nav is magnificent, the Connolly leather even better - this car looks good, smells good and drives beautifully - you can thrash it and it responds, or cruise - you choose.
To say this car turn’s heads is an understatement!
