3.0 V6 Sport Premium Saloon

brilliant car all round for how much i paid for it

I owned this car for 5-6 years and it’s been great. It’s a 3.0 sport manual, and I haven’t had a single problem with it. I bought the car with 55k on the clock and now it’s up to 80k. Great handling in all weathers, providing you have tread on your tyres. It’s not the fastest car on earth but pretty much matches my mate’s BMW 330 manual. It is two years newer than mine, with 30k extra on the clock. Overall I paid £1600 for my car and my mate paid nearly 4k for his BMW. If you’re like me, and like holding on to your hard earned cash, buy the Jaguar in a heartbeat.

My friends were a bit like “that’s an old man’s car, but now two of them own X Types as well - which is hilarious.

Ride can be a bit bumpy on c***y roads
Averaging 23-25 miles around town (I live in London).
Motorway sitting at 70 I’ll get around 37-39 mpg on a flat road.

Performance is pretty good for a heavy car. 0-60 just under 7 seconds and pulls very well through all the gears. It be great if it was a bit faster, but you can’t have everything can you ?

Also had a few comments over the years I’ve owned it, “that’s a nice looking car” blah blah blah.

Sounds nice when you open it up, it could be a bit louder but it’s a Jag, meant to be refined and not a chav motor.

Things I’ve had to replace or do to the car since I’ve owned it.

Oil
Tyres
Break pads
Suspension bushes .
That’s it !!!!

Great car and excellent value. I can’t comment what the jag dealerships like because I’ve never taken my car there. I have a couple of friends which are mechanics so I’m covered in that field.
