As one of the participants on this board, who has been having issues with my X-Type, I fully understand your decision. The X-Type, in design and concept, is one of the best all around sport/luxury sedans on the market. Most of us, as buyers of a first year model, expected some glitches with the car. What we didn't expect is the lack of a customer oriented approach by Jaguar to quickly address and fix those problems. I'm sure time and a dedicated engineering effort by Jaguar will eventually create a reliable product. As much as I enjoy my X-Type, I could not recommend it to anyone until some time has passed when there are no longer any owners posting recuring problems on this forum. You made a logical choice.

Please don't flame me, but I passed up on my chance to buy an X-Type. I still think it is the best looking car in its class and I would love to see one in my driveway every morning. But I went with an Acura CL because of 1) the problems cited on this board, and 2) the features included on the Acura that would have cost an extra $8,000-10,000 on the Jag. Nonetheless, I have pangs or regret every time I pass an X-Type on the road. That's saying a lot when I'm now driving the best car I've every owned. My one consolation is that in a few years I might be able the afford an S-Type, which I like even better than the X.
And by the way, I much prefer this board to the Acura forums I've found. CL board members seem to be less mature and more focused on speed and aftermarket enhancements.
