"A Ford Taurus with a jaguar sticker on it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My head lights both switch on and off, to get them to work I have to get out of my car and hit one or both of the lights.

My steering wheel makes funny noises when I turn the wheel.

The driver side door rattles and sometimes doesn't open.

The back passenger side spring rattles.

My jack for the spare is completely rusted.

General comments?

The car itself looks very nice, but the performance is very disappointing.

-I disagree, Jaguar's are great cars, though the X Type is a bit overpriced.

I agree, apart from that beautiful, I repeat beautiful interior and fairly stylish looks (if rather high-off-the-ground stance), this Jag is poor.

Yea, considering the Jaguar shares nothing at all with a Ford Taurus.

This car uses the Ford Contour's chassis and we all know what a great car that was.

Why did Ford base a jaguar on the mediocre ford contour is beyond me, but I know for a fact that when people take in their X-type's to the dealership the tech's laugh at them and tell the customers that the X-Type is not even a real jaguar.
