Re: Conflicted (archive)

Neal,
Have patience - the X has minor problems as has had every new model from any manufacturer in the history of car production?
I have had mine since October 2001 and am a teacher of Advanced Driving - I don't know any more about cars than than ay other reader of this website.
But, every time I sit in the seat of my X, I feel fortunate to be able to handle such engineering - I have had the leaking washers and a very squeaky glovebox - all fixed by the dealer.
Enjoy your Acura - when you eventually sit in a Jag you will know what I mean.
Regards,
Matt
Never drive faster than your Angel can fly.
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.
