I had always wanted a Jag but had heard bad things about them. So after 2 months of looking at reviews, researching the model and even pricing out parts for the repairs that were sure to follow I took the leap. Bottom line is I am very glad I did. Great car and with over 90,000 miles I have replaced a front wheel bearing for $28.00. Great ride Great styling and slightly above average performance.

Major disappointment! At under 30,000 miles and after having kept it in perfect condition, the interior began to literally fall apart! And what did Jaguar senior maintenance manager have to say? She hung up on me when I demanded to know who her boss was since she didn't want to take my complaints seriously. All told - $1800 to get it fixed! Never buy another Jaguar again! Can't wait to unload this one!

I love this car. I'm 6'4" 330 lbs guy who is comfortable when driving this car. I have recently went to look at the Jaguar XJ8 and now I will buy it soon. May I warn any potential buyers, people will talk about the jag but would love to be in your seat driving the jag. It is fast and dependable. The gas is great. It cost 27 dollars to fill up tank with 93 octane. That is great. This car is an attention getter. It cost to be the boss. I went to local dealership for oil change and was amazed that you only need an oil change every 1 year or first 10,000 miles. So you save money. At this moment no problems with vehicle. I wish I had a navigation system and this would make this a total package

We just bought this car and its amazing. The seats are stiff but they are so comfortable. It doesn't really get good gas mileage but its our luxury cruiser. We have been getting about 20.5 in the city. It rides great and drives even better.

Came down to this and a 2007 Mercedes C Class 280 4 matric. I picked the X- Type for a more stylish exterior styling and more interior space. The Mercedes had slightly better drivability and slightly better interior build quality. But the overall styling of the X-type and the super low miles (10K on the X Type v. 39K on the C280) won me over. Both cars handled well and the engines seemed very comparable. I really like how smoothly the Jaguar drives and how comfortable the seats are. The interior space is excellent on this. I have absolutely no regrets about my decision. The overall quality on this car seems solid.

Well this is my first jag, if you are a car person then this is a really cool car. There are better cars out there for sure, not that much better. I purchased the sportwagon version. I wanted utility and sportiness, and it is a rare car for sure. I looked at BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Jag. of course. I like the fact that jag's not going to be outdated by newer models and it has the classic styling of older jags(hood ornament). I believe it will be a sleeper classic in wagon form only though. It could get better gas mileage but IT is a Jag not a Honda. I think in ten years gas cars as the way we know them won't exist and this will be still a Jaguar not a prius. My 2 cents.

Pleased... Indeed!

First Jag ever purchased and I am very satisfied and pleased with its performance. Takes off at the drop of a dime and leaves everything behind it in its dust! Handles a curve in wet or dry conditions superbly. Comfortably seats my family of four including my 6 foot husband. Interior is butter soft and so classy and elegant holds true to JAG reputation. Interior works well with Liquid Silver exterior and mesh grill...heads turn when we drive by for a second look. Love the Sports car feel in a Luxury Sedan! I'm truly PLEASED INDEED with this vehicle and strongly considering buying the XJ or XJ8 for my husband.

Love the Leaper!

Unbelievable car. Found it new at the dealer. It's been even better than I expected. Makes even driving around the block fun. And, the car is a total head turner. Very distinctive when compared to all the BMWs, Mercedes and Lexi on the road. I get tons of compliments on the car.

Not once but twice I've had the hood emblem stolen. I'll never own another Jaguar because of this. They could at least have mounted it differently instead of putting a spring inside. It's such a shame because this car is really a dream car. Luxurious and sporty and affordable but you'll need the savings to replace your emblem every few months.

This car has no equal. Drive one for a while and you'll see what I mean. Power is adequate, handling on wet roads is simply unbelievable. I've had 3 BMWs and the X-Type easily, very easily, and I'll say effortlessly, could run off and leave them on a winding road--wet or dry. On the straight interstate above 115 mph handling is about the same as the BMWs I've had, maybe a little better but nothing outstanding. Interior is nice with the VDP package. Interior doors handles are hard to pull to open the door and that is common to all X-Types. Bad design using a cable. Have to remove a lot of stuff to change plugs on the rear cylinder bank. BMW is a lot easier.

A beautiful, understated, elegant and powerful vehicle. AWD is a huge plus for me and I am surprised how well this car is built and drives like butter. The feel of it while driving is incredible. I have ridden in and driven BMW, Mercedes and other luxury cars, Jaguar X-type is the most humble (in a good way) and solid luxury car. I would buy another X-type in a heart beat. Test drive one and you won't be disappointed. The body construction is both light and feels strong. I love it.

This car is Jag's best keep secret. It's the best trip vehicle I've ever owned. It's quick, corners well, and is extremely comfortable on trips. Build quality, fit and finish are second to none at its price point. Its standard AWD handles rain, snow, and ice with no drama at all. The car is heavy, and, seems to be built like a tank. The interior has standard leather seats, and the rest seems to be made of very high grade materials. I like the retro style of the exterior, and it's a real head turner, This is my second X Type - I upgraded from a 2.5 liter model because I wanted the extra power. Both have been extremely reliable vehicles.

I recently had the opportunity to take a 2,000 mile journey in this vehicle and was amazed at how well it performs and the way power is delivered from its sweet purring 3.0 liter V-6. This is my first "Jag" and even though the fuel economy is not great, the way it rides and people's reaction to the name and car design more than makes up for it's deficiency. The all wheel drive and brake feel are reassuring in inclement weather and the ivory interior is pleasing to the eye, elegant as in british sophistication. If you are looking for head turning reactions and pride of ownership in this price range go for the Jaguar X-Type.

Excellent drive!

This is my 1st Jag and I must admit that this is a great driving auto and fun car to drive. I drove many other competetive autos prior to selecting the Jaguar, but this one really drove and handled the best. I've owned many new cars, such as C230 Mercedes, Acura RL, numerous Honda Accords and a few Cadillacs, but this is, by far, the best car yet. I love to drive it and I also love the head turns I get from this vehicle. Keep up the good work Jaguar and you will have a customer for a long time.

Fun to drive. Will come out of the hole like a boy dog. Stand flat footed and jump a 5 strand barb wire fence. All of that and then some. Will be trading my wife's new Caddy in on one of these new breeds of X-Cat so that she will have one as well. We both loved our first two XJ-6s but these X-3s are the ultimate driving machines. There is only one way to look at it - when in doubt, take the Jag.

I formerly owned an S-Type but drove an X-type as a loaner. Because I needed the security of a bad-weather performer (all-wheel or front wheel drive) I "scaled down" on amenities. I miss automatic seat adjustment, interior space, softer ride but really enjoy the confidence and handling of my VDL. What keeps me from shopping other cars with amenities AND AWD or front wheel is the excellent service and performance with my particular local dealer. If the S-type had better bad weather driving capability, I would return to that vehicle. Or, if the X-type could upgrade, I'd be a happy, contented driver.

The car handles well even in tight corners and with all features included in the price of the car compared to its competitors it becomes the best value for money in its class. Very eye catching especially in black. The overall ride is comfortable albeit in the sport package you feel the road more often. Engine is well positioned to provide quick acceleration when needed. The car's interior wood grain enhancements lend a level of elegance while its external mesh grill in the sport package provide fun and flair compared to others on the road. All-round best value for money with great handling and style.

Jag got it right, no matter what reviews say. This car is a gem. More spacious than its competition, as powerful and certainly more luxurious. Add to that reliabilty. Driving it is a pleasure, certaily a cruiser for long hauls. On winding roads it tends to float but is forgiving when pushed hard. A head turner it is at ease in traffic.

Just replaced my 03 X Type 2.5 with an 06 3 Liter X. The new cat has far better acceleration and handling. As part of the sunroof package, you get 17 inch wheels and wider tires. I also noticed that Jag has made a number of subtle improvements since 03 - brakes are better with no dust problem; the center consol is higher quality; a second cupholder has been added; the seats have been improved. Another plus is the availability of Jags extended warranty for a reasonable price. I opted for the 7 year -100K because this car's a keeper.

Handles well and is very stylish. Received a lot of compliments from consumers on tha appearance of the car overall. Do not like the 17" low profile tires. Prone to flats if running over obstacles in road. Jag's overall ride is hard and you feel and hear every crack and bump in the road. This may be due to the low profile tires but maybe it's the car suspension. Gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired. Open road I haven't gotten over 25 mph.

This vehicle is vastly underrated. I was determined to find a "different" luxury car this time around, but no other could compare in style and performance. If you remember the X-Type commercial where the snow plow follows in the Jaguar's tracks, I can sincerely guarantee that this is the handling this car delivers. I am even more impressed with my new VDP Edition. The exterior styling turns heads and the interior is simply beautiful. A recent visit to the car wash reinforced the image of this car - even among the other top luxury cars, this car truly shines the brightest.

Traded in a 2002 Sport 2.5 for loaded 3.0. The build quality is quite a bit better than the 02. It has a very a beautiful Zircon metallic paint with a chrome mesh grill that turns heads wherever we go. Looks like a much more expensive car than it is. It's a powerful car coupled with a dynamic AWD.

It a good looking car with class.The only problem I have had is the paint job. It seems to chip right down to the primer with the littliest bump. I am having this looked into too, as it is obvious a bad paint job, otherwise the car itself is well built and gives the driver the feeling of being in control. I am a previous owner of two Lexuses and have decided to make a change, I am looking for good customer service as well as dependability in a vehicle. I find that to be most important overall.

Previosuly owned a 2002 XJR and changed to an X-type VDP since moving back North. My comments are as follows: Beautiful and sporty design, elegant yet chipper interior, nice torque and dampered suspension, excellent feel with the AWD. The only problem I have with this car is the cheap plastic used in the center instrument panel and the amount of road noise on rougher roads. This is perhaps attributed to the lower profile tires. Other than that, an excellent car that always turns heads! Evryday and everywhere. I hope they keep making this model forever, improve the interior plastics, and come out with a supercharged version. Grossly under-appreciated vehicle.

Before I bought this car, I had heard some negative things about Jaguar quality. After test driving the car, I fell in love with it. I opted for the 3 L upgraded engine which has something like 250hp, and is very quick in this size car. The handling is super, braking great and stylish inside. This car is very nice for the price! Negatives are the seat belt buckles which are plastic.. This car has had no problems at all ad seems a perfect mix of styling, perfomance and price. Another good thing is it is owned by Ford and made in Britian(I dont want to buy anything from the Germans since their lack of support for the USA)

This is my first Jaguar. Was a bit concerned about reliability, but really loved the look and feel of this car. I decided to buy it, as it has a good warranty. Just got back on a 1800 mile road trip from Oregon to Montana. Got 26 MPG! Great road car. Fun to drive. Have almost 9000 total miles on the car, with NO problems or issues. The all wheel drive is great. The car is quiet and handles very well. Build quality is great. The dealership made buying a Jag the best experience I have ever had.

A great road eating machine. Why the bad reviews? The car transforms from a blvd. cruiser for my wife to a true sports sedan with a touch of the "S" button and the help of VVT for me. The AWD is great in both wet and dry conditions. I drove the car 226 miles in heavey rain, wind and fog. The AWD made the trip fell like it was a sunny day.The rear fog lights that are three time brighter then regular tail lights made me fell safer since I could be seen at a greater distance Very comfortable on long trips.I have had no problems since day one, everything was perfect.The large 4 weel dual piston disk brakes with ABS stop the car on a dime. Real wood in the cabin. Great leather seats. Love the car

Handling on winding costal roads on Highway 1 was excellent. The automatic transmission shifted up/down perfectly with a good solid feel for the road. The brakes never faded or grabed. A very comfortable and relaxing ride in town on the free way or on winding twisting roads. Plenty of power from the quiet smooth 6cyl engine.

This is my third Jaguar; an S-type and an XJ8 preceded the wagon. My husband was concerned about this car being too small...we were off on a road trip to AZ and New Mex. and had everything from golf clubs to a loom for weaving to a large painting plus all of our bags etc....it all fit like a perfect puzzle. Mileage was great and it drives like a little sportscar..... GREAT FUN !!! Didn't fare too well with a collision with a deer (I stopped; she didn't) but that was fixable. We LOVE this car. Thanks for building it.

We are very pleased with our X-type. We bought it for the styling, the all wheel drive and the over all "size" of the vehicle. We have not been disappointed.

X-Type Well Made
