I owned both but had v8 engine in x308 and v6 in my x350 but heres my opinion of both cars:
Th older XJ has a better ride at low speeds on poor surfaces and the newer has better ride at motorway speeds but not by much.
The newer model feels taughter in most aspects but seems to be affected more by sidewinds.
I prefer the lower look of the older model but like the extra cabin and boot space in the new one.
From the front the new model looks like an X type to the untrained eye.
My xj6 x350 has similar fuel consumption to an x type with 3.0L due to its ally body.
I have had 2 XJ's 1x S Type and best of all an XK8.

I have also had Mercs, C type best of which was a C32 AMG
BMW's if the Jag inline 6 is as good as theirs it must be special.
But a Jaguar in my eyes is the real McCoy.

All of them have their issues. The 07 VDP is the x350 so you have that experience already. I find the engine on the x350 extremely reliable.
