My 2005 Jaguar X Type 3.0

[MistaFreeze]

Going to bump this thread. I've owned the car for 3 and a half years now. I daily drive it and put around 12k miles a year as well as a 1,000 mile trip in 3 days. I've done preventative maintenance and have had new winter/summer tires/brakes, some fluid flushes and a cracked coolant reservoir replaced. That and the obviously oil changes.
Other than that, there has been no major problems and I've been surprised by the overall reliability of this thing. I might have been lucky but from what I've read on forums, these cars are a very good buy. I wish I'd got the manual transmission though. Anyways just figured I'd update this thread.

Pics! Always had a soft spot for these ford-jags; especially the 5speed sport version.

I'll have to get pics for sure. Won't be for a couple weeks as I've been car pooling with my GF until winter when I get my winter tires put on the X-Type.

I got rid of my 2003 X-Type 3.0 a little over a year ago after having it for 7 years.

That interior is... grotesque.

How so? Just the cheap lcds on the hvac?

That is essentially an AWD Taurus If it were not for those headlights and badge, it could pass as a Ford's bread and butter car. Interior definitely came from Ford parts bins.

Always liked the x-type, nice car

Maybe so, however it's not a Taurus. It's based off of Ford Mondeo which is a respected car in Europe. Not trying to talk up my car though as I've ridden in nicer cars (m3 BMW) but it is a nice car for the money. Still looking at getting a GTO!

Beautiful car.

But I'm not a fan of the fluffy yeti on your stearing wheel
