Jaguar X-Type 2.5 V6

Went to look at one today as my mums just sold her Citroen C5 VTR diesel, was wondering what are these v6's like on fuel etc. I know there basically Ford Mondeo's underneath.

We have the Auto 2.5 Estate, town driving you'll get 17 max lol. Just steer clear of the 3.0 if you are concerned about the economy.

i did give a service couple weeks back and no i dont have a heavy right foot, maybe if im late for work sometime il put my foot down but overall ive never got above 35mpg lol

its for my mum anyway, i did tell her its going to drink alot more then the C5 but she dony really care as she loves the car and the spec is decent to but mileage concerned me but the dealer said its got full service history so thats okay.

[bald24]

Was gonna say that mileage is quite high, we got ours for 8900 and it only had 39k on the clock lol.

She's gonna love the tax disc, insurance and mpg

I average 40 in my 1.4, sometimes i've hit 45 :)

My mom has one, I personally dont like it very poor fuel economy and not a nice drive. Engine note does sound awesome, thats probably the only plus. Not sure how much they sell for now but I think there are better buys out there.

Surely there are many better cars out there. Plus my vtr doesn't tend to dip below before 40 mpg
