55Jaguar X-Type84.67%
Is it pure coincidence that the X-Type finishes one place above the car its based on? Whichever way you look at it, this is disappointing for the Cat that started life as a Ford Mondeo. Jag's lowest-placed premium saloon scored well for ride and handling, but suffered with poor running costs (82nd) and practicality (77th). And while both could be expected to be weak points for a small exec, 52nd place for reliability and 51st for build quality don't make good reading.
