#37 of 84 reliability by nedzel Apr 03, 2004 (6:39 pm)
"if you break down charts of the reliability issues, you can find differences since the the takeover by ford, but overall you will have the same frequency of problems"   I guess we've been looking at different charts. Jaguar reliability pre-ford was the pits. It's gotten dramatically better since then.

in fact, I think Jaguar has been rated pretty well in the last few JD powers reports.
#39 of 84 but the ratings by jchan2 Apr 04, 2004 (8:10 am)
aren't still as good as Infiniti, Lexus or Acura.
#40 of 84 jchan by seminole_kev Apr 04, 2004 (10:20 am)
you're being a bit dishonest when they are right with them in ratings. Seperated only by a few points. What, maybe 4-6 overall or somewhere abouts? Oh, why did you even include Acura there. They're not anywhere near an actual luxury company like Lexus, MB, Jag and Infiniti (well sort of on that one). Acura is just Honda's Mercury to its Ford).

This kind of general talk would be more fitting here: sysop "High End Luxury Marques" Apr 4, 2004 1:27pm at the Luxury discussion. Still not sure why all this talk is here on a future vehicle, wagon that won't even be sold here in the US.
#42 of 84 My point was by jchan2 Apr 04, 2004 (1:37 pm)
that according to Consumer Reports (Hey, I'm just using another source) Jaguar cars fare much lower reliability wise than the similar competition from Lexus and that people think that a Jaguar isn't built as well as a Lexus. (well, some people)
#43 of 84 Regarding X-Type reliability by bretaa Apr 05, 2004 (8:00 am)
I'm somewhat late to this discussion, but I thought that...   General Jaguar Reliability: Much improved overall, especially since the Ford ownership. Owner satisfaction in the surveys has been high.   X-Type reliability: While decent and stable currently, the X-Type got a bad street quality rep during the first several months of production. Things apparently got much better after the 7/00 or 1/01 build models, I thought I had read. Even the most enthusiastic owners admit this. A Jaguar exec, I recently recall, said in an interview that the next X-Type will have to aim higher in this regard and do well from Job One.   - Bret

seminole_kev, thanks for posting that link. Yes, let's leave this discussion for conversation about the (remote) possibility of the X-Type Estate being released in the U.S. I know that may kill this discussion, but let's not mix up the conversation about high-end luxury brands.
#45 of 84 sure enough by nedzel Apr 09, 2004 (4:24 pm)
"...I know that may kill this discussion..."
#46 of 84 and by jchan2 Apr 10, 2004 (3:03 pm)
I'm sure this discussion will be archived in no time flat.
