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 Envy: Gen X - Type - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By dasan7 - March 14 - 10:00 am

  My first Jaguar. Ive always wanted a Jag, but didnt want the "old man" looking style of the XJ. I was looking at Mercedes, BMW. None of the models I looked at compare to this car! The style, and feel of driving this car blows away the competition. My neighbor bought a new Nissan of some type. He was livid, absolutely beside himself with envy when I parked my Jag next to him.

  Life Long Buick Man - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Life long Buick Man - December 25 - 7:23 pm

  After toying for many years with the idea of "upgrading", I couldnt get excited about anything but a Jaguar. The interior is soothingly comfortable and the exterior is exciting. This car is the smoothest, quietest car Ive ever owned and the 2.5 motor will have me collecting speeding tickets if Im not careful. I get 26 mpg around town and still look for opportunities to just get out and drive. Im 6-2 but the interior fits me fine. I love the looks and comments I get and that it looks more expensive then it is. I cant imagine ever needing more then this - "Baby Jag" delivers!

  Jag X Type-Move over BMW - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By TJ2003 - December 19 - 10:00 am

  If youre considering purchasing a MW series or an Audi A4 you owe to yourself to look into the Jaguar X Type. The sytle and smoooth ride of this baby is heads above the rest and all for a little over $30K. AWD is standatrd in this vehicle and cat be beat. It handles superbly and corners better than my Cobra.

  AWOL Performance - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Dave in Texas - December 19 - 10:00 am

  Although the 2.5 X-Type doesnt jump off the starting line, it makes up for it in comfort, style and affordability. The X-Type is much more comfortable that my 99 Cadillac Catera and a lot more stylish but just not as zippy. The Sport mode helps some as does the J-Shift automatic transmission. All in all, this entry-level Jaguar is a great buy. Routine maintenance coverage is an unexpected bonus.

  Can You Resist ? - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Simply the Best . - December 9 - 4:13 pm

  I have owned 4 Infiniti G20t prior to this 2003 Jaguar X-type. I have owned many other automobiles also and this is by far the best. I am a Jaguar owner for life. The car is awesome, handles really well, grips the road as if it had claws. So comfortable and quiet, love the purr of the engine as it takes off with no hesitation. Beautiful interior and exterior. You can`t help but to turn around and give it another glance while walking away. I love my Jaguar!

  By johnadarin - October 25 - 2:00 am

  I love the power, the beauty and the 4 wheel drive in the snow and ice. The rear seats fold down which allows me to transport things on occasion. Great buy and beautiful fast car

  Still enjoying the new car "Buzz" - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Taftster - September 19 - 10:00 am

  I took the Jag on a windy mountain road for the first time, wow. The AWD was a definate improvement, as there seemed to be no limits to the amount of accel. in the curves. Truely thrilling. Even with the 2.5 L engine, there seemed no lack of power. I test drove the 3.0, and although there was a noticeable increase in HP, it was not appreciable. I commute 120+ miles/day, so I went for the mileage, rather than the power, and I dont regret it.

  Well pleased - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By garyh - June 25 - 10:00 am

  Had it since May 03. The car is everything that I expected. I get as many, nice car, comments from people as I do in my 02 Thunderbird. Handling and quality are great. I have had no problems with it.

  Tabs Jag is all PRRR and no GRRRR - 2003 Jaguar X-Type
  By Tabs Jag - May 7 - 1:36 am

  I purchased my 2003 Jaguar X-Type 2.5 in January 0f 2008 and I love it. It was a blessing that fell in my lap and once I saw what a great deal it was I couldnt pass it up. Well, 4 months later I am deftly happy with it. I have had no issues whatsoever and it gets many head nods. I just tell all the people who think I must be cavorting a lot more money than they thought to be driving it, that a blessing came my way and it keeps blessing me over and over again. It is grey with woodgrade integrated with the black leather interior. Also, yes it has a pretty sleek look and everyone loves it. I appreciate and love it!!
