They are good cars if you like having them repaired all the time.
Being a JAG, parts are sometimes hard get, or to find, and expensive too. Newer ones have a lot of Ford parts in them.
Lastly, finding someone who will work on it may be an issue too.
I worked in a shop where we specialized in EU cars. I do not like the new Jags, especially since Ford got in bed with them.
Mercedes an VW would be my preferences from EU.
Otherise, I buy American (whatever that means anymore?)

hi the well being and safe practices challenge with injuries correct to pedestrians. the different fact such a range of of do not listen about is that is not any longer made with the aid of jaguar that died some 30 years in the past. those automobiles now are purely a FORD with a jaguar badge. unhappy that is to work out such an iconic marque further right down to at least one of those low element. even a morgan nonetheless has pride as does the aston martin yet lengthy lengthy gone has the daimler and jaguars of the 1970's even. it purely tin and board fords now.

Your buying a FORD. F'ed On Race Day, Found On Road Dead!!!
Jags are horrible and notorious for breaking down. They are very loose with steering and may look good, but the paint quality is sub par for luxury and once again it is a Ford. The X-Type uses the same engine found in the Taurus 3.0L. Do yourself a favor and steer clear!

Long ago Jaguar was a high priced British motor car that leaked oil like all other British motor cars. Today it is owned by Ford Motors but is still a British motor car that leaks oil. Yes, the car is a good one if you keep it up.

buy an older one and get a Chevy or a ford V8 transplanted then u should have the best of both worlds as they are a very nice car to ride in and drive.

Jags are nice cats...bad cars! Ford buying them didn't help matters. Terrible electrical systems....
