2k2 Jaguar X-Type VS 2k Maxima (Both Auto)
Well,
My cousin and i had nothing to do and we was on the topic of cars and such thing would have you, then we got into engines, So my cousins Jag is 3.0 and so is my Max, so we said lets do it, went on the Belt Parkway service road where it puts you into linden or atlantic ave, and went for it...My max past him, but the from a stop the jag rolled past me, on a long freeway stretch i can past him easily but the jag does stay right up there as well and if not, it is passing you. IMHO i give the X-type 2 thumbs up. I was happy that my max stayed right with him!

I saw a review on TV saying that the AWD system on the car was pretty good
that from a stop and go 60% of the power resided to the rear wheels while 40% went up front giving the X-Type a feeling of a RWD car

Remember, Ford is a global company now, so a lot of the parts in their cars aren't necessarily from the good ol boys up in Detroit, but rather from all over the world

Actually, I think the Yamaha designed head/Ford SHO dual intake tract V6 was the best motor Ford offered. It was just that the Taraus body and tranny that this gem of a motor was attached to sucked to hell.

In all fairness, that Duratec V6 is Ford's best V6 motor ever. (Other than price, it's the only reason why anyone should consider buying a Contour.) That motor puts out 200hp in the Contour SVT and 231hp in the X-Type.

I had a little run in with an xtype in the rain, he killed me on the launch (4wd vs. fwd in the rain
)but once my front end stopped bouncing, I was reeling him in pretty fast, I have no fear for the x-Type, except in the rain from a stop.

A mechanic friend of mine said that the nickname for the X-type Jaguar is Jagasaurus because ~ 70% of the parts are from the Ford Taurus.

Actually, the only V6 engine ever offered in the contours (regardless of SVT or regular) was the 2.5 Duratec. I have driven an SVT and I can tell you that a VQ will tear it apart.

Sidenote: I don't consider the SHO Yamaha motor to be an inhouse Ford motor. Though derived from Mazda's 2.5L V6, the Duratec is an inhouse developed motor due to Ford's "ownership" of Mazda.
