Overview & Reviews

Jaguar introduced its youth-oriented X-Type last year, so 2003 holds little changes for the baby Jag. There's a slight reduction in the price of the base model, and electrochromic mirrors are standard on all trim levels. Cars equipped with the 3.0-liter mill now get 17-inch wheels and a CD player as standard equipment.

• Reasonable base pricing, sporty handling, all-wheel drive, currently the only Jaguar available with a manual transmission.

• 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."

  Jag-Plunk - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Jag-plunk - May 6 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my X-type for 18 months too long. The only good experience Ive had is that its allowed me to drive other cars while itin the shop. Terrible craftmanship and poor fit and finish make it feel like Im driving a Pinto!

  Had differential, prop shaft and window regulator replace along with dash electrical and other smaller items. The dealer had the car for more than one week for the first three months and then not so frequent.

  Disappointed, Frustrated & Angry - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Let Down - March 25 - 10:00 am

  I have a 2003 3.0 Automatic. Loved the car at first - the style and sporty drive. Now after only 10,000 mi I have had the transmission replaced 2X! They finally had to admit that they had transmission problems with these cars. I have talked to other X-Type owners and they have experinced the same thing. At first the dealer denied there was a problem until I made a real stink. It still isnt right so they are calling in Jaguar HQ.

  Big mistake for my money. - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By nomorejags14 - March 30 - 11:02 am

  I bought it for my wife, even so it was used for only three years, after a week the radio screen stop working, not long the wheels bent(all four). Check engine light came on, cat converter 2, after replacing twice the light stills on, then all codes possibles were detected by the scanner, PO 116,PO 300s, PO 430, and no mechanic could even look at it. Last hope I took it to a expert, his first words get rid of this thing. I did and now happy is my middle name.
