I think the review was fair enough. The X-Type will never sit well with Jag purists, but it was based on a solid platform. The brand moved downmarket, and it did so while avoiding FWD — something BMW and Mercedes couldn’t be bothered to do.

My X Type 2.5 AWD is a rather nice car. Holds the road well in all weathers, and is quick and responsive.
The manual gearbox is Mondeo based, and is crisp and positive, and in general the car is a pleasure to drive.
