New Member & 1st time Jag owner
Howdy,
We bought a used 2004 Jaguar X-Type on Dec. 17 and am now wondering why we waited so long to buy a Jag. I know its the baby Jag and some folks don't think highly of it but for an entry level luxury sport sedan I do not see why. We looked at BMW and Audi and settled on the X-Type because of the AWD and Jaguars reputation and mystique along with the luxury touches inside. I had a 1998 SHO and while I loved that car the X-Type is better in almost every way. I wish it had more power but don't we all? :icon_wink: Anyway, I am 51 and work in a book printing/binding plant, not your typical Jag owner as I drive a forklift for a living. Any advice on the care and feeding of the big cat will be appreciated. Thanks, Paul |
Welcome, in your case better than never some sort of lol
It's lovely to see happy jag owners and have cheerful driving as well as forum posting |

Welcome Paul,
I'm sure you will enjoy the Jag more than the forklift, you may need to moderate the driving style also. :icon_wink: IME forklift drivers are a combination of Michael Schummacher and crash test dummies. :icon_couchhide: Just joking! |
Welcome to the forum.

Welcome. Don't know if there is a "typical" jag owner anymore.
PS Some of us do think quite highly of our baby Jags. Hope you will be one of them. Get into the X-type section and do some research on things you may want to check out as a new owner. |
Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Thank you JimC for the upgrade as I ran into that roadblock when I was posting a reply to a tire question and had to post twice. :icon_wink: Quote from norri: "IME forklift drivers are a combination of Michael Schummacher and crash test dummies. :icon_couchhide:" Hey, I resemble that remark, thank you very much. :icon_dance-twist: LOL! I just wish I had the Stig's skills. Paul |

Well you should hear some of the razzing I'm takeing at work. Even my supervisor asked me "what the F is this about you and a Jaguar?" Sorry if I gave the wrong impression but I LOVE this car!!! It my be a baby but its MY BABY! Was looking through that section this morning and already have plans to do the TC and rear diff drain & fill, along with the center shaft bearing grease. When it gets warmer I'll probably do the autotrans service since Valvoline won't touch it. Sealed for life thing ya know. :icon_doh: Oh well, Happy motoring ya'll. And Happy New Year to everyone.
