Jaguar X Type AWD V6

Still looking cool... The 'good Jags' seem to be seen less and less these days and the X Type alongside the XJ are the coolest. Latest production 2008-2009 for both. They will definitely become collectibles and I am hanging on to this one.. Interior and exterior to impress at any occasion..amongst any other cars..

Or is this car not from that area? How do you like it? I’m assuming it is very reliable?

I had a Mondeo and a x type back then .

Have to admit that the mondeo was a better car 😬. I love Jags , owned a lot of them but this Xtype wasnt my fav . Sorry !

True, based on the Mondeo but totally different and nice to drive. What Jaguar needed was that reliability and they got it when Ford helped out. I think for the money you pay, you get a lot of pleasure and car!!

Very different from a Mondoe though it shared the same platform.

Engine wise the V6 had reworked cilinderheads, completely different interior and finish. I talked to a guy who was involved in early stages of development at Ford Genk Belgium, it was a Mondoe platform and they gave it the feeling of a true Jag. But back ...

Just kidding

History's been more kind to this one than contemporary road tests

I remember that there was a good deal of chuckling in the auto press when this one arrived (Mondeo platform, blah, blah), but you're absolutely correct about the X-Type looking better every day relative to Jaguar small cars like the XE and E-Pace. Those f... 

Agreed!!

Spot on with everything, Tim.. I couldn't agree more.

I am curiously unmoved by the new Jag sedans and SUVs

not for want of trying to love them. Too bland in styling, too high in price.

Always loved our 2,5 X-type.

For a fraction of the price it gave us 90% of the true Jag spirit. Me and my best friend each bought one in the UK. Our silver 2,5 was not really a fast car and had some transmission issues (we eventually had it properly fixed), my friend's 3 liter wasn't...
