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 Be Nimble Jag Be Quick - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By geecheewheels - November 1 - 10:00 am

  I went to buy a G35 but bought the X. More features and comfort for the money.I was somewhat surprised to catch Edmunds comparisions incorrect. Several of the features were listed as N/A or not all, (now corrected). Because of what the auto reviews were saying, I thought that I would be getting "less performance" out of the 2.5 . Ive had my X for 9 months now and no complaints as I rip off the white line!

  Entry Level? - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Danjag - September 14 - 10:00 am

  My oh my. They say this is an entry level vehicle? Think again. My wife and I are wondering what professional car editors have against this vehicle? We test drove the BMW 3- series and the Mercedes at comparable prices. IOHO there comparison to fit and finish. No comparison to the service. This look will remain classic for a long time.

  Great car - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Ntwing007 - July 2 - 2:00 am

  I just bought a 2.5 automatic X-Type. I live in the Philly area and we have been getting some snow this winter. This car handles the snow like it is not even there. The AWD is great! The car also stands out and gets a lot of looks from others. I have been very happy with this car and would highly recommend it.

  Disappointing glitches in new luxury car - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By ps2 - July 2 - 2:00 am

  The X-Type is an excellent all-weather car with tons of Jaguar options. On the negative, the build quality is disappointing - coolant leak, driver seat repairs, interior trim rattles & squeaks, and the car is less than 3 months old. Jaguar is good about fixing the issues & service is what you expect from a high-end car company. Even with those issues, I still rate it very high -- the rattles dont impact the all-round performance of the car. It beats the SUVs in poor weather performance & fuel economy, not to mention the status of being a Jaguar. Oh yes, the price was less than most SUVs too.

  Our Fifth Jaguar - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Kenneth Roehl - June 15 - 10:00 am

  this is the base model 2.5 standard shift with a $6.500 factory rebate, a great buy at $23,650. BRG non metalic with sand leather interior. A one CD changer in the dash ( which I like better than the trunk mounted unit)We have owned two BMW328S and like this car as well, but for diffrent reasons. Comfort,ride and looks are on top The BMW is still the preformance king.

  Jag Fan - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Brealgq - June 6 - 5:23 am

  I have only had my X for a couple but it is one of the best decisions I have made. So far it has been pure heaven and all my friends are wondering how? I love the 3 series but the Jag was better price for me. I am 65" and I am very comfortable.

  the review of new orleans boy - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By new orleansboy - March 21 - 10:00 am

  This Jag is a very built car. This was my first car. I looked at the BMW and Benz but none compared to this car. I put 50000 miles on it since march and has never given me any problems except for winy brakes. Got me from college in Illinios to Louisiana in a breeze.

  I love my XJag - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Glenda - February 24 - 2:00 am

  Had the X 3.0almost a year. It is a great car. It reacts to my command. I average 50 miles a day to work on a interstate so you know I need comfort, ecomony and style. I go with the wind. Love my Baby X.
