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."

Joy to drive - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By NYJAG - June 1 - 10:00 amThe 2.5 is a pure joy to drive. I have the manual with a premium package. The only complaint is that the engine is a little bit on the weak side and that it comes without seat memory. Wonderful road stability

Transmission swap - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By Zoomer - March 19 - 10:00 amThose of you who had a automatic transmission swap (out of warranty) had two options, buy a new tranny or a rebuilt unit. I chose the rebuilt unit ($2700 including labor). Afterward I looked into the issue and found the rebuilt have enhancements and internal fixes the brand-new ones lack. So rebuilt is BETTER than new.

Fun to Drive - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By RJB13 - March 13 - 10:00 amThis vehicle was the second one that I ordered. The first one had the sport suspension and 17 inch wheels. I felt there was too much noise and vibration from the combination and opted to reorder. I bought the non sport version, 5 speed, it is a lot of fun to drive and significantly more comfortable. This car is awesome. The car handles great through backroads and tight turns and did great in the snow storms. A friend who has taken high speed driving and handling courses for work drove it and couldnt believe the grip the AWD had on the road at the speeds we cornered. Over all, Im very satisfied.

Loving the Adriatic Blue 3.0 - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By BabyJagOwner - March 13 - 2:00 amI recently bought the 3.0 model and have put 2000 miles on the car already. So far the car has been flawless. I havent had the whining drivetrain problem that others have experienced. This car gets looks wherever I go. I recently drove it home on an icy michigan night when other cars (about 20)were in the ditch my AWD jag just kept on going and got me home safe and sound. I absolutely recommend this car to anyone lookin for a classy and practical car.

X-Type, A Great Breed of New Cat - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By sagestrike - January 29 - 2:00 amGreat little preformer. Handles like a sports car but is comfortable enough to compete as a luxury car. It is a large departure from other Jaguar models. This one should be considered if you are looking at competing models from Audi, BMW or Mercedes. You wont be disappointed.

Beautiful, powerful cat - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By jsecada - August 19 - 12:06 am4000 miles without absolutely any problems. Handles beautifully on all terrain and weather (better than Imprezza); at 3000rpms+ lot of smooth power. Manual transmission works perfectly. Spacious, very comfortable interior. Huge trunk. Great audio. Complaints about being "spartan" "plastic" are ludicrous (less so than Mercedes or BMWs). Classic, beautifully designed car. Dealership service excellent, first-rate. Best experience ever buying a car.

Glad Its Mine! - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By LoopyKC - June 25 - 10:00 amAfter a reveiw of Audi a4, VW Passat, Infiniti G35(horrible dealer experience) , Acura TL Type S,Volvo s60 and Lexus IS 300. The JAG was a more complete package with a more elegant persona that fit my wants.
