The Best Jaguar (Ciao Hitlist)

Now before I start getting pervy notes from blokes, I have to point out that I'm male, and more importantly the Big Pussy I refer to is my Jaguar aka 'The Big Cat'. However, if there are any women who want to send me pervy notes, please don't let me stop you! ~ Background ~ I do around ... Read review

Fancy a ride in my Big Pussy?

Advantages: Classic Jaguar looks and comfort
Disadvantages: Diesel take a bit of getting used to

~ Background ~

I do around 25,000 miles in my car every year, which entitles me to a company car. My previous model, a Vauxhall Zafira 2.2 Elegance, had served me very well over the previous 3 years but it was really starting to show the signs of a lot of miles in a short time. I ...
...Volvo V50, and finally the Jaguar X-type 2.0D S Estate. All three cars had features that really stood out, but it was the Jaguar that managed to edge it although it was a close run thing.

Being on the road a lot, and having a young child, there are certain things that I need from a car. I do some seriously long journeys so comfort is paramount, as are safety and reliability. Needless to say, it has to provide good handling on smaller ... more

Yes, still a real Jaguar

Advantages: Refined, quick, capable chassis, plush
Disadvantages: Not vast inside, some cheap touches

...very inviting and sets the Jaguar apart from the rest of the class. Some of the controls lack the precision feel of an Audi or Honda, but they all work well enough in practice – the lighting stalk should probably be Jaguar’s first priority for a redesign. The heater and audio controls in the console initially look big and clumsy with their large LCD panels – in practice, they are easier to use and a lot less fiddly than the competition – though the ...
...known for. Although the Jaguar engine is best between around 1800 and 4000 rpm, it will still pull from very low revs – my 3-series would just leave you stranded if you tried to pull away in too high a gear. The cable-operated gearchange itself is not ultra-fast, but is nicely weighted and precise – the overall result is that the Jaguar is easy to drive smoothly and there is always power available when you want it. And plenty of it – although the ...

What a great car.

Advantages: Economical, comfortable, good looks
Disadvantages: A bit noisy when cold - poor customer service in the North

...bought my SE diesel in Jaguar Racing Green in 2004 down in Guildford (Fox's of Guildford). Fantastic customer service by people who care. The JRG colour was gorgeous - sparkles of gold when in sunlight - but showed the dirt quite quickly. Comfort : very nice interior in champagne leather throughout and with a choice of different veneers for the trim - I chose walnut maple. One small niggle was that for such a large car, the leg room in the back ...
...was 34 to 35 mpg - I once managed 62 mpg on a motorway trip but had to stick to under 55 mph which is difficult to do and causes annoyance to other road users - maintaining sensible motorway speeds I got around 48mpg. As with most deisel engines, the torque in low gears was quite high, giving very quick acceleration for such a large vehicle. Top speed was quoted as 120 ish and I can quite believe this - my highest speed reached was about 105mph ...

Don't drive too far in it.

Advantages: Looks, performance, quietness, chrome finishing.
Disadvantages: Smokes like a chimney, unreliable, comparably thirsty, cost of maintenance.

...given the car back by Jaguar 5 months later!!!! The parts required were only available on the production line, and were particularly difficult to obtain apparantly. This was a £6 grand repair!! I have since found out that there has been a re-call of all early models as there is an electrical fault with a loom on top of the engine, this is what had happened to mine. To this day, the cabin still smells of smoke, and no amount of cleaning or de-odorising ...
...Next, after a couple of week's driving, a large percentage of the power was lost again after a long(ish) drive. This fault required new intercooler pipes (again), and apparantly were not damaged as a result of the fire. Having spent this money on a brand new car, and only applied average business miles, I would not have expected to be recovered at the side of the road 3 times in 18 months. On the rare occasion that the car is working however, it ...

X-Type Diesel - OK if you get a good one.

Advantages: Jaguar badge. Styling. Lots of options to play with.
Disadvantages: Very little equipment. Cramped interior. Some not very refined.

...overall refinement, I informed the Jaguar staff on the stand quite honestly that I would be replacing my much liked 2.5 V6 (petrol) Omega with this car. However my wife was not present to ride in this car and I booked a test drive with our local Jaguar dealer just for her to try it out before signing on the dotted line..... .....and what a good job we did try that second car! This one was more London taxi than Jaguar, it also had quite the worst ...
...another £5000 spent from the Jaguar options list would buy you. Unlike the other reviewer of this car, I would not rate the Honda's ride or handling as inferior to the Jaguar and it is certainly a lot quicker and more refined. Having previously driven both 2.5 and 3.0 litre versions of the X-Type, with four wheel drive, I have to conclude by saying that the 2.0 Diesel is actually the pick of a very disappointing range. ...

Just got one, Initial review.

Advantages: Does what it says on the can.
Disadvantages: Has me permenantly smiling.

...seem to want to use Jaguar sites to publicise other makes of car. Some of them, cars I would not touch with a barge pole. My car goes like stink. I am 6ft 2in and find the car comfortable. It has full leather, has a great sound system, is beautifully quiet, drives really well and does everything I want it to do in spades. I have been driving for thirty five years. Mercs, Rovers, Fords, VWs, Landrovers etc. I have driven many cars well past 100,000 ...
...revived my driving passion. It makes me smile. I even enjoy going to work now. My daily journey is a 36 mile round trip along the A47, usually in mild traffic, and can include heavy stop go town traffic for some 6 miles, and a smidge of dual carriageway. I am getting 41 mpg. The car seems to relish the chance to overtake and we don't hang around. Perhaps, as with most products, there are some bad examples, but mine is brilliant. And yes, I realise ...

A touch of class

Advantages: Power, Performance, Prestige
Disadvantages: Economy, Ecology, Economics

, but during my Internet research I remembered reading a recommendation that you should go for a 2004 or later car, for reliability reasons. So I raised my sights a bit. Sadly, the first X-Type I tested was, to be honest, a disappointment. It was a 2.5 litre that felt a bit sluggish for my liking. The salesman tried to get me to try a diesel but, like I said, I'm a petrol head, so that conversation did not last very long. (I have since had a 2.2 diesel X-Type Sport for a couple of days and found it a very good car, with good economy, lively to drive with good mid-range oomph but lacking in 0-60 acceleration and with only front wheel drive - plus no Jaguar roar.) Then I found a silver 2004 X-Type 3.0 SE for a good price at an independent dealer and, after a short test drive, the smile on my face told the world that I had found what I ...

Review of Jaguar X-Type 3.0

A GREAT CAR FOR ALL SEASONS AND TASTES.

Advantages: Superb Engine. Great Looks. Sybaritic Scandanavian Interior.
Disadvantages: High List Price. Depreciation. Small Boot Opening.

- 44% (the petrol S60's are worth just 36% of their initial cost) Audi A4 2.0d - 58% (petrol A4 - 51%) BMW 320d SE - 53% (petrol 320 - 48%) Honda Accord 2.2d - (Not quoted - would guess around 54% diesel, 48% petrol) Jaguar X-Type 2.2d - 52% (petrol - 48%) Mazda 6 2.0d - 54% (petrol - 52%) Mercedes C220 CDi - 52% (petrol - 52%) Saab 9-3 1.9d - 52% (petrol - 47%) Skoda Superb 2.5d - 52% (petrol - 45%) Toyota Avensis 2.2d - 52% (petrol - 47%) Ford Mondeo TDCi - 40% (petrol 37%) Vauxhall Vectra 1.9d - 43% (petrol 42%) For what I consider to be a great car, the fact that the Volvo S60 is near bottom of the pile when it comes to depreciation is a surprise. What it does mean is that a very good deal can be done on a second hand one. FUEL ECONOMY 8 / 10 ...
