this was my dads (second) jag in 30 years... and the first one he's owned that works. its compfy, the steering feels great fo a luxury car (his is a 3.0 VDP) it has great grip in the michigan winters, the engine's torque is very liniar right up to red-line... the GPS unit is great. the car is supple during long distances, and even handles predictably.
this car's throttle even learns how you drive, and changes the shift-points based on that... albiet, when i drive after my dad has driven, it does feel slightly akward for a few minutes.
definately a cool jag

It's a hopped up Ford Mondeo, a rebadged boring car. Not to mention the fact that cars of that stature should have RWD. An AWD Jaguar, WTF? It pretends to be something it is not. A shame for the Jaguar-badge...

Cool other than the fact it is based on the Mundeo, thus, not cool.

Mondeo of course isn't a bad base, they are nice enough, but still seriously uncool. This gets seriosuly uncool too for being everything a Jag shouldn't be really :bah:

It's short (spreektaal), you are correct if you look at it from grammatical point of view....
It should be Ich brauch' benzin I guess...

Cool, it's a Jag, it looks great and you have to be a real car nut to now it shares it's platform with the current Mondeo.

It's true the X-type shares the same platform as the Mondeo but they're so different it doesn't really matter.
I like the baby Jag look
