Brief affair that didn't last, X type was the only jag that had fwd option, though it feels like most here were the 4wd versions. As said it's based on mondeo, but really, for a cheap jag, what's wrong with that?

Jaguar now has nothing to do with Ford or Mazda. X type was the only FWD jaguar made, and most of these were the 4WD variant

What was wrong with the AWD? The FWD was only on very basic models with tiny underpowered engines

Have a look at the list of faults with the awd version. As far as Im aware the original tech behind em was the Mazda V6 engine/drivetrain. Ford uplifted the tech and told their boffins to fix the problems.-mazda foccussed on their 4 cylinder stuff. Then Ford gave the drivetrain to Jaguar to use,

Uhh the FWD to the same engine just smaller. You get the same problems just with less performance.

The V6 in the X type was the Duratec series engine designed by Ford, not Mazda. Jaguar further developed the engine from Ford/Mazda's versions as well.

Could know of one for sale soon in Christchurch Kev. Won't be cheap though. Local built, cycle guards, alloy and green. Toyota 4AGE powered.

Silly buggers trying to compete in an already crowed market . Wasnt a bad style for mid size saloon & if theyd put in a RWD platform itwould have sold better . The FWD & AWD & there inherent problems turned off jag fans in a big way & others went for cheaper cars of same size .
