Overview & Reviews

Jaguar beefs up its presence in the luxury category with the X-Type, a brand-new model that brings the company's range to four. The X-Type is a fresh breed of cat for the manufacturer: it's Jaguar's first-ever all-wheel-drive vehicle, and it's priced to tap the entry-luxury segment.

• Reasonable pricing, sporty handling, currently the only Jaguar available with a manual tranny.

• Spartan interior design, some less-than-prestigious Ford-themed switchgear and exterior styling cues, price goes up with options faster than you can say "Ford Mondeo."

  X Type Sucks - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By Keith/Jag - February 5 - 2:00 am

  Although I like the cars handeling and looks,,,, I have had a lot of problems from day 1 of my purchase. At the 50,000 mile make a leak in the drive train sent oil everyware under the car and on to the exast system. The repair was $1000 and the cost of the rental car $250.00. Jag corperate said "tough break" "Deal with it" Needless to say... I am NOT very happy

  Great car -still going strong - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By yklktk - January 28 - 3:30 pm

  Wonderfully smooth on the highway, with paw like handling on country roads. The manual shift 2.5 gives back performance lost in the automatics I tested - the car will really move with revs kept above 2500.

  Convert - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By Geechee - December 16 - 10:00 am

  Went in to buy my 3rd Infiniti, my folks and brother also have Infinitis. Heart set on the new little rocket, G35. After almost a 10 year relationship with local dealer, I was told no deals and the car would have $1000 tacked on. Thought about the I35. On my way home I pulled into the Jag dealer looking for a pre-owned Jag. Drove out in a 03 X-Type. With the premium pkg, DSC, and Alpine, it was LESS than the offer on the G35. Though the X is not the fastest off the line, it passes without fail. Solid feel, quality feel, and looks that draw admirers. What a value!

  Worth every penny. - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By Mainekayaker - December 5 - 2:00 am

  I have a 2.5 with the sport package. The car is great! It is simply a pleasure to drive. The interior is nicer than my brothers BMW 3 series. Trunk space is amazing for a car this size. It just is a great car in every detail.

  All I hoped for and more - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By Jonty12 - October 31 - 12:30 am

  The build quality in my X-Type is excellent. No squeaks or rattles, nothing broken. The car’s a blast to drive. More fun than my Eclipse GSX. Smooth manual transmission allows for great acceleration and passing speed. Fantastic cornering ability. The ride is so quiet you dont realize how fast youre going (100 mph sneaks up). You aren’t jarred by every bump like you are in some of the competition. The sound system is superb, and the navigation system is first rate. Im very pleased.

  Traded both of my Mercedes on a 2003! - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By Ron Zarantenello - October 22 - 2:00 am

  This 30-something, single urban male was ready to purchase Mercedes #7 when I decided to try out the (03 2.5, auto) X-Type, based on a friends comments of his 2002 model. WOW! What a fun (not so little) car. Insurance costs went DOWN! I love the handling with the AWD - the Benz would just sit and spin when pulling away from a stop light in wet conditions. This car just wants to go! Summary: Love It!

  Dream car Nightmare Jaguar X type - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By Sonya H - October 22 - 2:00 am

  My dream car has had multiple problems. Had to have a new driver door latch - could not open door from outside at all; trunk latch malfunctions consistently; gear box fault light comes on frequently and the service department cant seem to figure out if its a computer glitch or mechanical problem; engine light has also come on. I wouldnt recommend this car to anyone!!!!!

  my x-type experience - 2002 Jaguar X-Type

  If you are looking for a fun car to drive and service beyond exceptional jaguar has it in the x-type. The handling is unbelievable. The more I drive this car the more I realize I truly found the car for me.

  FUN - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By t. j. fields - September 29 - 10:00 am

  I wanted a 5 speed car and when I took it for a test drive I fell in love with it. The all wheel drive feature makes it handle so well, rather like the Audi 4 (another choice). The price is great, although with a sun roof and 6 CD player it came to $37,500. The front view is beautiful, the back not so bad but the side view is pure Ford Taurus...but I live with it for the price and the way it drives. I see very few where I live but I think it is a little low end for the neighborhood...the S is getting popular here as well as the big ones. tj

  Jaguar Suprise - must read - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By S LIFESON - September 22 - 10:00 am

  If you thought a Jaguar was for older, rich people because of past models and prices - this vehicle is for you. I drove BMW, Volvo, A4, C230, IS300 - there was no issue once I saw, researched and drove a x-type Jag. I ordered the car in June 2001, took delivery in Sept. 2001. I couldnt be happier. Excellenct ext/int styling, awesome grip on the turns and more. I recommend the upgrade of the alpine stereo a must for music lovers. Dont worry about the reliablilty concerns other people may say about Jag. You cant lose if your jag needs work, they lend you another - Enjoy the ride
