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."

  Possible lemon - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By been xd - March 12 - 10:00 am

  Within 12,000 miles the transmission went. I had to be towed via flatbed truck after only 14 months of ownership. The car never had any pep. Now it needs a totally new transmission at 12,000 miles. I should have stayed with the Camry.

  Worst Car Ive Ever Owned - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By Ted Watson - July 21 - 8:13 am

  I purchased this car new in August of 02. The first week set the tone - it went back to the shop for a leaky oil cooler. Since then it has been in the shop 20+ times for a total of months and months. It the last year alone it has stranded me three times. You name it, its had it repaired/replaced - oil leaks (still), new front and rear suspension, radio, gauges replaced, computers, xeon headlights, door panels, cooling hoses, door latches (over and over), rattles,squeaks, etc, etc. My warranty is up in 4K miles, so Im car shopping. However, I will never, ever, buy another Jaguar!!!!!

  Never Buy the First Year - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
  By Robert Dahowski - May 24 - 10:00 am

  The car is a lemon. You should never buy a car the first year out. The car has had tons or re-calls and is always in the shop. The car does not have much power from the get go.
