I own several BMW's and a Jag 2000 XJR...
I drove the X Type and the 330i. I am sorry, the X Type might look like a Jag and smell like a Jag, but it's a FORD Mondeo under the skin. (READ FORD CONTOUR) I couldn't get past the FORD switch gear. And the 3.0 Inline six in the Bimmer toasts the FORD/Jag V6 in power delivery and smoothness.
Don't buy if for prestige either because everyone knows its a Ford.

If you like its looks, you're not into sporty cars...then it's fine, but the car just doesn't cut it as a real Jag or a real Sports sedan.

Just my driving Impression....

they are your uneducated impressions. do a little more research on what went into the x-type, buddy
