Is a Volvo C70 or Jaguar X-Type a good first budget car in Australia?

Question

Accepted Answer

I wouldn’t recommend either of them as a budget buy, unless you have deep pockets. They are both too old. While they might not be very exciting, a car from one of the big Asian brands, such as Mazda or Toyota, would be a much better choice for someone with a limited budget.
