I love my x-type for a number of reasons! It's comfortable, quiet and stylish, with (real) wood, leather and suede. It drives beautifully, will pull away in 3rd gear from 700 rpm without hesitation, It is a Jaguar (AJ) engine - despite a lot of people thinking that it is a Mondeo engine! It is lovely quality all round and it's a JAGUAR!! and British!! I've had and driven the German opposition, which are far too hard on suspension and seats etc.. Give me the Jag any day :-)
