2005 Jaguar X-type Estate review
2005 Jaguar X-type Estate (2-litre Diesel Sport)
Having committed the faux pas of making a diesel, Jaguar completed the grand slam of anti traditional Jag values and wheeled out an estate. We tested the ultimate sacrilegious Jag, an X-type diesel estate!

2004 Jaguar S-type (2.7-litre V6 Diesel automatic)

2004 Jaguar X-Type Diesel review
2004 Jaguar X-Type (2.0-litre Classic Diesel)

2003 Jaguar S-type R
Is the S-type R the perfect getaway car? In black, the average passer-by doesn't really acknowledge its existence. I did notice the occasional "in the know" person give it an admiring glance. The S-type R's non-supercharged brethren are classy-looking cars, even if the retro-style nose polarises opinion. The R version looks like it was hewn from a different, far sexier substance though. The changes are few enough, but effective: a wire mesh grille, integrated spoilers and those gorgeous 18-inch wheels.
