Welcome.

I find teh X Type very uncomfortable, but then I am old/part crippled/large car orientated.

I/we find both our S Types roomy, and having come from an X300 and an XJ-S.

Looked at X Type, that test drive lasted about 10 seconds, ceased the exercise.

Well done.

MPG, who cares, its a Jag.

Wait until you progress to the REAL Jag, a V12, and then fuel economy becomes a topic, but never a concern.

It's a Jaguar. The pleasure of driving outweighs the pain of mpg!
