New Jag

Is it just me, or does that resemble a despoilered mkiv?

 

 

I can definitely see where you're coming from.

 

I had an X-Type 3.0 Jag when they first came out, cost £32k with the extras. Complete pile of poop :blink: So bad in fact that after 14 months of arguing, they agreed to swap it for another. This wasn't quite as bad, but still had to have a lot of warranty work done. We're not talking the odd squeak or rattle, whilst I had the car it had :

 

3 gearboxes

2 transfer boxes

propshaft

works to diff. cage

wheel bearings

all four door lock mechanisms (spent two weeks getting in from the passenger side front door :eek: )

Clutch plate replacement

 

And that's off the top of my head, it was with the dealership, on average, once a month whilst I owned it :eek:

 

So, would I buy a new Jaguar ? Hell no, once the model is a few years old and they've sorted out the issues then maybe. Oh, and I wasn't the only one with a problematic X-Type.

 

DON'T buy an X-Type !!! I REALLY wanted a Jag too, and to say I was disappointed was an understatement.

Oh dear! why have they gone with a bentley/nissan 350 clone, when they already designed the xk180? , which has to be one of the best looking cars ever. First The S type, then the X type(read mondeo) , then a diesel , then an ESTATE, no more F1, why not just put the leaping cat on a focus and be done with it? from V12 to a diesel...... mutter.....bloody ford...mutter....

kinda makes you wonder how manufacturers like rover and jag stay in business when you read stuff like this, but then again they need bailing out every other year - i wonder why, my wife insisted we bought this rover she saw "cos its a luvely colour" and evertime i get in the feckin thing something else has either leaked, failed, blown up or fallen off, the purple perils days are numbered though lining up a nice little Yaris for her
