Being one of those who believed the X-Type was a fancy Mondeo and was very snobbish about it, "not a real Jag" etc, I took one in part exchange (2009 2.0D SE 169000miles), I sell Mercedes C Class, BMW 3 series etc but now have to say that they are absolute rubbish in comparison, the part exchange X-Type is now MY car, sold my own as no longer need it and am amazed every time I drive it, it is much smaller than I am used to but everyone I change gear and feel the torque just waiting to be used puts a smile on my face, roadholding leaves the competition struggling to compete. Why did no-one tell me about these earlier?
169000 miles, drives like new. Only issue is passenger front window one touch doesn't work and have to use the '8 presses' to use.
