...My brother recently brought him self a second hand Jaguar 2.5 v6 x type its on a 51 plate with1 owner from new and 50,000 miles on the clock and full service history he payed £8,999 which considering it cost 22k new is a bit of a bargain When he told me he had brought it i said why a jaguar its a bit of an old mans car and its going to cost you a small fortune to keep it on the road. Personally i wasnt keen on this type of car ive always liked sports cars and hot hatches but after seeing the jag in the flesh its sort of grown on me.

While Jaguar maintain that the modifications to this car represent good value, I personally feel that it’s a bit on the expensive side for its young target audience.
