Today I test drove a Jaguar x-type 2.5 V6.
All in all I must say I am impressed. Since I own a XJR I might be a little bit biased, but nevertheless. The build quality felt solid and the handling was impressive. The ride was also quite smooth. The only question I have is about the rust. I saw som tendencies to surface-rust at the bottom of the "wheel-house" and for a car that is 4 years that might be a bad sign. The engine wasn't to exiting, but then again we were 4 people in the car and it had 4-wd. It was very quiet though and that should be nice for driving longer hauls.
I am surprised that Jaguar has not launched a x-type R. It would be really cool with a 300+ HP supercharged version that could compete with the M3 from BMW.
