Default Uhm.. need feedback about the Jaguar X-type

Ok as short as possible (as always )

For my mom's husband (not my dad, to long to explain LOL and useless too) it's time to change car (he does that every third year).. now he drives one of the crappiest cars around LOL, a Hyundai XG30 V6... but well, he likes cars from the east and their reliability.. the car before the Xg was a Toyota Camry 2.2 wagon.. again crap..

But now finally he found a good offer for a car that doesn't come from the east it's a 2002 Jaguar X-type 3.0 V6 with AWD transmission..

He is interested especially because finally he'd like a AWD car since this year he had quite some problems with snow and he would like a change too

He is quite BIG, maybe better huge LOL... some 190 cm high and 130 kg probably... maybe some more.. but he already tested the X and he found it comfy for him..

The big question is about the AWD system.. so far in our family we had just a few AWD cars.. one was a 964 Carrera 4, the present one is an A4 2.8.. and for sure Jag's AWD is not a match for Audi's quattro... but is it at least any good? Of course I will read around the net, but I would like to see if somebody has personal experience with an AWD X-type already...
it's also a good offer: he will give back the 3 years old XG and will have to pay just some 20'000 - 23'000 USD for it...

Any feedback for him while I browse around the net?
