Thanks Peter for your reply & info.
My Mondeo comment was just a little humour, I'm aware that the X type is way more than a rebadged Mondoe and I'm certainly not put off by others who don't know any better.
Ive always admired the sleek looks of Jaguar and nearly purchased an Xj358 several years ago and am ready to take my first step in Jaguar ownership.
Can anyone on the forum help answer my questions (see post above) ?
Cheers
