Depends what you want. Based on mondeo means sound mechanicals but added electrics care of jag of that era can be dangerous. They’re not a great car but whatever turns you on.

Short version NO. Ive had a couple pass through the yard and other that the name -JAG there was nothing in any way special about the cars. Not being smart but The Toyota Brevis I had at the time had more comfortable seats. More "bling" and handled far better that the jags.

X Type or Mk X?

I took a V6 Mondeo for a test drive once and liked it (but didn't buy it. ) Quite a nice car, it sounded a bit angrier and it felt much better to dig into the corners than its humble looks suggested.
Not sure it would still work like that, if it was covered in an extravagant "LOOK AT ME I'M A JAAAAAAAAG REALLY I AM!" body and full leather cow interior. ?
That isnt an X type but. that is a serious WTF decision there. $40k does not buy you something you can actually rely on it seems. Pretty poor there was no proper assessment of what went wrong with it done.

Yep. A Jaguar iPace would be on my Lotto shopping list I think.

On the other hand one of those deconstructed and rebuilt from the ground up mark 2 jags have always been something I'd love to own.

Put on a pair of running shoes and head off at a 180 degree angle away from the vehicle.

Many of the YouTube videos of people buying Jags seem to have the same problems with electronics and strange warning messages, then there are big engine problems. It's the old story, if you can't afford a luxury car new with warranties etc then don't buy it used. Lexus though seems to be one that will run for years trouble free.

You'd have to be stupid to buy one new even. The quality of workmanship and componentry just isnt there, been that way for at least 50 years. The style over substance thing just keeps on working somehow.

Jaguar Land Rover under TAta have come a long way in last years.

Amazing when you trace back the history of that model. Ford plucked the V6 off of mazda -told em to stick to 4 cylinders.--Gave the technology to their Jaguar division.

Sorry but Land Rover in particular haven't gone anywhere. Any consumer satisfaction survey will tell you that.

Yes it goes back 30 years now. Porsche initially developed it but aborted the development programme and Ford picked it up. What Porsche originally planned to use it in is anyone's guess, it was intended right from the start to be used exclusively east-west in front drive and later AWD cars.
