am I missing the point???

looking for details about the X-Type went to jaguar's website, not a mention of it???

I take it it has it's own website, tried the usual but no luck, anyone know what the X-Types website is called?

Cheers,

MAtt.

I've just replaced my Scooby with a 3.0 X-type. Let me know if you want any more info.

wot u think of the x-type compared to scoob ?

what made u go for an x-type ?

i've followed it in the car mags i buy for ages and went along at the end of july to test drive one as i'm looking to change my scoob.

only test a 2.5 ordinary and so far the dealer has yet to come back to me with a 3ltr sport test drive !!

although i have just been invited to go on a jag dealer driving day - xtype stype etc etc

might try make it although unlikely with work as its a weekday.

I've only had the car two days so it is too soon to say. similarities are few of course. OK, they both have about 230 HP, AWD etc. The Jag is heavier, and is not as sporting. However, it is incredibly refined. It also pulls well from relatively low revs. Total absence of squeaks and rattles. When I bought my MY98 scoob I spent the first weekend stripping the dash out and re-building it so that it did not sqeak and rattle so much.

The X-type will appeal to people like me who really enjoyed the late nineties heyday (IMHO) of the scoob but fancy something different. Any scoob would leave it behinf (but not leave it for dead) along a windy road....

cheers for that guys.

was considering it but the spec I want is a bit much, and the CO2 ratings a bit high.

may consider the 2.5 but still might be a bit much!
