2008 Jaguar X-Type User Reviews

Pros

compares well w/honda Accord v6 and toyota Camry V6

This is one of the most overlooked and under rated cars on the road today. It is a beautifully designed car - not a box on wheels. I have owned Camrys and Accords. They are very over rated, especially in terms of mpg and comfort and design compared to this car. Did you ever notice how you do not sit exactly in front of the steering wheel in your "roomy" Accord? - Bad for your posture and body alignment! The design and appearance of the instrument cluster on the Jag is much more appealing and is easily readable. Conrol knobs/buttons are un-obtrusive and convenient to use while driving. The cost of maintnance on these cars is also in line with what I have experienced with Hondas and Toyotas. If you follow the scheduied maintenance on any make of car, it may seem expensive. However, your car will last longer and you will avoid serious problems later on. My experience with the Jag service department has been excellent - courteous and professional. e.g. - I have never felt that I have been "taken in" by a service department that seemed to find the exact same "severe need for a transmission flush" on every car that came into the shop that day. This type of service trick is still used frequently by many Honda and Toyota service departments. My X-type is a 3.0. The car gets 28mpg the highway and 19 mpg in town.
