Can confirm, my 2003 jaguar xtype got 17 mpg! Awesome engine noise, and not much else. Purchase price is down payment on first repair.

- tonyedgecombe 8y agoPurchase price is down payment on first repair. This has always been a problem for Jaguar, I wonder why they have never been able to get a grip on it.
- anoncoward111 8y agoI think they were just very content to not care about it. I imagine they were making money selling replacement parts or upselling new Jaguars every 3 years :\\\\ Personally I thought the shape of the X Type and S type was nasty, but loved the engine. Mine was sold to scrap when the reverse gear blew one day-- don't try to force the shifter into reverse if it won't let you for some reason. The 70s XJS is a really cool body style and anyone with a lot of time, money, and or skill on their hands would be really wise to just knife a crate engine into it somehow and get all the reliability that Jaguar mechanical bits have never delivered, ever :)
