I purchased this delightful beauty with 115000 miles. It's been nothing short of wonderful. It's a eye catcher. Handles like a dream. I'll keep it till hell freezes over. Lol

My X-Type is an automatic 2.5 not a manual as the description says. (Automatic not included). I traded for it used 3 years ago with 110,000 miles. Even though I don't have any service records, it had obviously been very well maintained and garage kept. After reading some forums about the X-Type, I had the transmission flushed and filled and the transfer case fluid changed. It needed 2 tires and that's it. I recently did a LOT of maintenance that a car of this age and mileage needs. Other than the tires the car has "needed" nothing. I look forward to driving it every time I get in. It's comfortable, handles great and make me feel special. The ride is a tad rough but I wouldn't trade the handling for a smoother ride. I've owned a lot of cars in my life and I have to say the Jag is my 2nd favorite car that I've had. (My 1st fave was a 1987 Mazda RX-7, I'm too old and fat for that now...lol). I plan on having the Jag for a long time!

I have owned it for 10 yrs, the only problems where very minor, no major repairs. If they still made it I would buy another one. Great on wet roads and SNOW. Still no major problems with it.

"Experts"???

I was an MG driver for many years and have always enjoyed the "British" feel for a car. Yes, the X-type is not a standard Jag, but with gas at $4, who would want one? This car is perfect for what we all do -- drive to work, the Metro or run a few errands. I find nothing "cheap" about the interior; the camel interior goes beautifully with the British racing green exterior. Yes, I can't get to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, but Ford (which has a long tradition in building British cars) has put together just the right package of performance, appearance and creature comforts to make this car worth every dime. You'd be a fool to waste your money on a far more expensive German or high-end Japanese car.

Don't believe the critics. This baby was the safest, smartest, high performance car that just "growled" to be driven. Had her for a total of 6 yrs goin on 7. May have lost her for good b/c she took the tree; not me. Had her out in the snow 1st and only time,hit ice, hit tree. Sprained left hand, bump and bruise on rt knee. Airbag deployed, but no other bruises etc. hit head on, missed the jag on hood, headlights in tact. Radiator pushed in, motor to be assessed. ALOT of safety features deployed. Yet to have the adjuster take a look. 12-31- 09 so it's been 10 days. We'll know when we get the hood up. Either way, this girl was the best car I ever had (have). She won't even turn over.
