2002 Jaguar X-Type review from North America
"Excellent!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
This is a superb car among others in its class.
The build quality is outstanding: real wood, real leather, fit and finish inside and out are excellent. Trunk capacity is excellent.
The car is solid and holds the road like nothing else. The BMW 3 Series cannot compete, and I made a direct comparison before purchase, as well as having owned a 3 Series.
The engine is powerful and the manual shift smooth; combined with the handling of the all-wheel-drive, it is unbeatable.
All the elegance of a Jaguar, and styling which does not change from year to year; it just looks good.
The climate control in this X-Type is wonderful!
So good that we have two of them!
