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."

I love my X-type - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By ash - May 2 - 10:00 amI love my Jagaur X-Type. My model has the sport package and is a 5 speed. It is great in adverse weather as it went through a Maine winter. It is a pure joy to drive - quiet, smooth, handles great, and is very comfortable. The trunk is very large for a car this size and the seats that fold down are easy to use. Overall I love this car. Worth every penny!

WOW!!! - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By Vagabond - March 31 - 10:00 amGod! How much do I love this car! I had been looking and test driving cars since October of 2001. I test drove the BMW, the Acura, the Benz, the Audi, the Cadillac CTS, the Saab. But none of them as great as the X-type. I thought that the BMW was too small, the Acura was just ok, the Benz was pathetic and the Saab was too expensive. The guy at the Cadillac dealership was one with really bad attitude, while the only problem with the Audi was it was smaller. I settled on the Jag because of it offering most of the features that I wanted. Boy! It drives like a dream. I really dont know what the editorial reviewer was thinking, but this car definitely rates in the high 9s.

X-Type Jaguar Meets Expectations - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By Pete E. Cammarata - February 17 - 4:53 amRides like a dream. Brakes are excellent. Corners great. I have the small engine,(2.5)so I didnt expect spectacular 0-60 stats. Navigation system works superbly. Really happy with the Baby-J.

The Editors Dont Get It - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By Noel cab - December 7 - 10:00 amExcellent all around vehicle. Will outclass, outrun, outperform the German cars in its class in any road condition, any weather. I know. I have two other German marques that are useless with the slight pour of rain or snow. Not for the masses. Purrfect car for the Northeast. I really dont care what editors say. Excellent dealer service too.

DONT BELIEVE - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By PLEASE READ THIS!!!! - November 17 - 10:00 amI was shocked to read the review entitled, "Do you like your wallet? By Style, not substance." Anyone who knows their Jags knows that Ford bought Jaguar around 1985, and ever since that, the cars have been extremely reliable. Therefore, I do not understand their "but the reliability on long commutes would worry me a great deal." Also, they say BMW is a much better choice, which is by opinion only. For anyone considering this car, or just bought it, you chose wisely. I am very pleased; my last car was an XJ Vanden Plas Sedan. This car is much more entertaining to drive, and not too "starched." Nevertheless, this is a JAGUAR.

Jag, baby, yea!!!..This cat roars! - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By TAS - September 18 - 2:00 amI always wanted to own a Jag and it has been a dream come true. I test drove the 3 series BMW, and Audi 4, Mercedes C320 basically all the models in the price range and the interior was nothing to compare against the Jag.The car is excellent. I guess you can always be unlucky and get a lemon with any make of car, like some of the reviews here have been. Well worth checking this car out if you are buying a car in the 29k to 35k dollar range.Everyone will think you purchased a $50k plus car. Let them!!

2002 X-Type 3.0 Sport - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By James - June 7 - 7:33 amI just purchased a 2002 X-Type 3.0 Sport and am grateful I did. I love driving this car! It has the firm, sports-car oriented driving style that I like in a car. I love driving this car far more than my 02 330i. The car is a head turner. Watch out though for possible electrical problems. I have already had a window regulator go out on the back window. Overall, I would buy this car again and again.

Its Nice Being the New Kid on the Block - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By Meow Mix - May 30 - 10:00 amI bought my X-Type 3.0 Sport 2/02 and had problems including driveshaft whining, leaky washers, and "rocking" seats. New vehicles regardless of manufacturer often have minor hiccups within the first couple thousand miles. What it boils down to is your local dealer and their service department. Mine fixed all problems quickly the first time. I would rather be driving a car that is different and in my opinion, more fun, than all those Audis and BMWs out there. Ive ridden in plenty A4s, S4s, A6s and 3 series, and although they are still "fun", the novelty just isnt there. BTW, my friend has burned 2 turbos on his S4 and anothers new A4 3.0 bounces like a pogo stick on the freeway.

Are The Edmunds Reviewers for Real - 2002 Jaguar X-Type
By RonDC - February 10 - 2:00 amI completely love this car. From the styling to the leather interior, this is far better than the BMW 3 or the MB C Class. The trunk space is awesome. Drove the sport package and did not purchase it as it seemed to make a lot of noise. The non-sport package is just fine. The AWD is spectacular. Edmunds reviewers need to look at the posts to see how happy people really are with this vehicle. Did I mention the head-turns of other drivers when they see the styling?
