hi all my names lee just bought my 1st jaguar, its a 2005 x-type 2.5v6 s owned it since october got to admit i cant understand why ive never bought 1 sooner i love everything about it from how it drives to its performance, only thing i dont like is the fuel economy but i guess thats something jag owners get used to, anyway thought i would say hi and maybe see a few at owners club meets and that

Lee,

 

Welcome to the club , you will find everyone friendly on here .

 

The X type is a cracking car, I'm sure you will enjoy it . Don't worry about MPG , let others do that for you, and you do get used to it , and it's better than some VW dinky toy run on devil's fuel !

 

ATB,

Hi Lee and welcome to the club.

 

I had a similar x type to yours, and sometimes could get 35 mpg on the run up home to Lancashire to watch Rugby League.  Lovely car to drive!

 

Regards

 

Peter.

yeah it is a lovely drivers car, think the best mpg ive had was driving manchester to york and it averaged around 25mpg, just saving up now though i really fancy an xf

Hi Lee, I got 53 mpg going to Sheffield a month ago, and on a 220 miles round trip to Leeds last Sunday I got 49.2 mpg out of my 2.7 litre diesel.

 

You will get the same out of a 3 litre diesel which the put in the XF.

 

Peter.

Peter,

 

The XF 3 litre  Portfolio diesel the stealership lent me when the Aston was in it's favourite place, the workshop, was excellent . It was this car that made my mind up I'd get a Jag.

 

Didn't take any notice of the MPG, but was very impressed with the car in general .

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

Evening Lee,

 

Hope you enjoy the JOC my good man.

 

25 mpg you say... I usually get something like that going down hill with a back wind haha, or is that pre litre???

 

cheers for now

Bryn. . .

Hi Lee, and welcome to the club.

 

I'm new to Jags too, with my own X-Type. I get 49mpg from mine, although it is a diesel!! I deliberately bought a diesel to do my 130 mile a day commute to and from work. I've done over 9,000 miles in it so far since July, and love driving it.

i considered the diesel but when i heard the pur of the 2.5 v6 i was hooked plus i got it for an absolute bargain £1295 on an 05 plate silver with black leather, 118k on clock with a full jag service history and the cars really clean and mark free

Hi lee.....good name, I have a 2.5 v6 x type Indianapolis I used to have a 2.0v6 I must admit I got a shock from my 2.5 v6 but haven't had it long so still getting used to it.....I love jags and am now looking for another one to keep this one company

ive not had mine long either only bought it in august this year
