Jaguar's compact cat purrs in (Mar 01)
Yes, it probably was the Star of the Show to many of us, particularly those who could recall driving the 240 'small' Jaguar to which the X-Type is the spiritual successor, writes Brian Byrne. And to see it in the metal for the first time at Geneva was a pleasant experience. full story

Jaguar X Type looks the part but is different (May 01)
The X-Type Jaguar that goes on Irish sale early next month, has the unmistakable looks of the big cat marque but otherwise it’s very different, writes Andrew Hamilton. For a start, it doesn’t replace anything in the Jaguar range: there’s no predecessor and there hasn’t really been a "baby Jag’’ at any stage in the marque’s history. Full Story.

This Jag is just my style (Oct 01)
Cars like the Jaguar X-TYPE were but a figment of an active imagination in my formative years, writes Trish Whelan. Light years away like the spaceship that took my heroes Dan Dare and Digby around the cosmos in the Eagle comic my Dad used to read to me. Full Story.

The X-Type Jaguar has been bringing many younger drivers into the brand who were otherwise confined to the smaller-model BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars, writes Brian Byrne. But now a 2-litre (actually 2.1 litres) V6 has been added to the 2.5- and 3-litre versions. Full Story.

2-litre X-Type could be a good investment (Jul 02)
There’s the tradition behind that catface badge, reared and trained on a racetrack but released into the jungle of the highway with an unbridled luxury of wood and leather, writes Brian Byrne. It was always thus.

Jaguar S-Type attracts admiring glances (Jul 02)
As it happens, the last couple of Jaguar S-Types which I’d driven were the 4.2-litre V8s, in both supercharged and normal versions, writes Brian Byrne. I wondered as I took the 2.5-litre Sport for review, would I miss the massive power of the others?

Jaguar XKs mature, but with sharpened claws (Aug 02)
The Jaguar XK is the classic Jag ‘Cat’, with probably the sleekest of the feline shape variants that have always been the trademark, writes Brian Byrne. The coupe and convertible which first pounced into our wish lists in 1996 have been extensively upgraded, but without any major change to the visual essential attraction.

Jag XK is a 'Happy Birthday' car (Nov 02)
Seeing another car coming up fast in the mirror, I slipped the XK into a gap between two vehicles in the slower lane, writes Brian Byrne. My car slowed and matched itself to the traffic speed in that lane, without my touching any of the pedal controls.
