Jaguar X-Type Opinions
I quite fancy an X-Type. Are they good/bad/avoid? Not too sure whether to take the petrol or diesel route, or even auto v. manual. All comments welcome as I really love the look of the car but would like to know how other people have found them.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Ive a 2L Manual XType diesel.Its the best car we've had -very comfy -nicely upholstered in leather and walnut and economical on fuel.Downside if you need anything caibrated (?) you have to go to a Jag dealer as they wont sell the machine to anyone but a dealer.
You wouldnt even know you were driving a diesel and its not a guzzler.Insurance and tax were far cheaper than the Vectra 2.5 Sport we traded in for it.
We'll keep this one to the end.

I've got an Xtype auto, new in 2000, re-con gears last year £2k. I dont have regular services. Was told it was 4w ? T'was the rare running motor on highway crowded with other stalled vehicles, thru the heavy recent snows.
Staff with Audi Q, Porsche boxter, BMW saloon & Merc sport were all wheel spinning so I had to taxi them home. You wont regret your purchase - its more economical than the above cars according to the owners. Oh & the woofer is extra impetus :)

Haven't the foggiest about the engine ( parents have gone shopping so I can't look) but . . . . there is something about the tax on the notice board, engine capacity/co2 is 244g/km, and the tax for six months is £233.75, if that's of any use.
BUT I don't think my dad wants to sell it yet. But if he pops his clogs soon, me and mum would be more than happy to sell it to you ( at a reasonable price).

I bought an 06 reg 3L Sovereign this time last year. Absolutely love it and it was great value at the time.
Tax is high (as Molly says), insurance is OK if you have a good history, fuel economy on a 3L Sovereign is pretty awful but if, like me, you don't do a lot of miles, it's well worth it ...
If you DO do a lot of miles then I understand the 2.2 diesel is the one to go for.
