Replying to: jchan2 (Nov 28, 2003 6:36 pm) Based on nwhat I read, it looks Jag may be actually letting go of the model and comming out with a cheaper crossover.. Hey makes our X-Types even more rare..

Replying to: Sylvia (Aug 09, 2004 3:56 pm) Although European X-Type Estate-Wagon sales seems to be disapointing for Jag, those who own them are fanatics defending their baby Jags. I find the diesel (very popular in Europe due to high fuel prices) are as good as if not better than rivals such as the BMW 3 series, VW Wagon, Merc. 220, Audi A4.. Jag is on top of it, now its up to the consumers. Problem I think is the Jag image, old and rich.. marketing should change that.. good luck to them..

#70 of 84 Canadian Sportwagon owners? by dandrews1 Sep 20, 2006 (7:54 pm)
Just looking for some opinions on this vehicle from current owners.   My wife and I took delivery of our 2006 Land Rover LR3 HSE this year, and are keeping an eye on our 9 y.o. other car, a Dodge Avenger ES. It's been a very reliable car, but it is starting to show it's age, with things breaking down, and getting worn.   While we were in the dealership ordering out LR3, we saw a Jag sportwagon sitting waiting for someone to take delivery of it.   We didn't get a chance to play with it, as it had just been detailed, and was waiting for the new owner to show up, but what we did see of it made us want to look more.   Unfortunately, these things seem to be very rare - the dealer didn't have any other samples, and I haven't ever seen one on the road or even in a parking lot.   I was at a recent customer event for my LR/Jag/Bentley/Aston/Rolls dealer, and other Jag owners were surprised to learn that there was even such thing as a Jag wagon - and they had been to the dealership many times over the years...   My question is how are they? Can I just take an X-Type 3.0 for a spin, and expect much of the same from the wagon?   Do you make enough use out of the wagon part that I should really consider the X-Type Sport? (I already have the hulking Landy)...   Thanks!   Don Replies to this message: jchan2 (Sep 21, 2006 3:57 pm) oldcem (Sep 21, 2006 6:57 pm) dandrews1 (Sep 29, 2006 9:22 am)

Replying to: dandrews1 (Sep 20, 2006 7:54 pm) I don't own one but I guess it wouldn't hurt to test drive both the sportwagon and the sedan version- afterall it isn't like they are selling fast.   I would probably choose the model that has the bigger rebates- I remember checking recently that Jaguar had somewhere in the neighborhood of $5000 Dealer "Marketing Support" on the X Type 3.0 Sedan, which if you bargain hard, you can get it almost entirely passed on to you.   I didn't check the rebates on the Sportwagon.

Replying to: dandrews1 (Sep 20, 2006 7:54 pm) I've owned 2 X -types. My first was an 03 2.5 automatic. I swapped it in May for an 06 3.0 Automatic. The wagon should handle about the same as the sedan. It's slightly slower to 60 - the sedan takes 7.1 seconds, the wagon about 7.8 according to Jag's website. The 3 liter engines are excellent - rated a 229HP, they've got a nice fat torque curve all the way to redline. My 3.0 gets 20 MPG in the city and 24 on the interstate running 75 - running 93 octane gas. Build quality was good on my 03, and, even better on the 06. The cars are very rigid and heavy for their size. The AWD system works great in rain and snow - best foul weather car I've ever driven. You should be able to score all the marketing support money if you negotiate hard. Contact multiple dealers and get prices if necessary to get your local guy to sharpen his pencil. The X-Types do depreciate pretty badly, so get the best deal you can to offset this.   Regards: Oldengineer Replies to this message: dandrews1 (Sep 29, 2006 9:22 am)
