Info:

Introduced as recently as last summer, the four-wheel-drive model was Jaguar’s attempt to stave off criticism from traditional Jaguar fans that the company had reverted from rear-wheel-drive to using a front-driven platform for its first “small” Jaguar since the Mark Two of the early-1960s. That front-driven platform actually came from a superb donor; the Ford Mondeo. As a result, when the latest front-drive X-type was launched in March 2002, it came as no surprise to realise that the new entry-level model is actually the best one.
