This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, Jaguar has reduced the base price of the X-Type 3.0 by almost $3,000. In other news, the Sport Package now includes 18-inch wheels and a 320-watt sound system. All X-Types get redesigned alloy wheels, as well as a revised front bumper and new foglights. The trunk lid has been reshaped and the push-button release for the trunk is now easier to operate.

Pros:
  • Comfortable highway ride, attractive styling inside and out, standard all-wheel drive, large trunk.
Cons:

    Looked at all of the competitors. Liked the Jag better than the BMW 328 and fell in love with the MB E320. Everyone has a Benz though and BMWs and MBs lease programs couldnt compete.

  • Best car ive had - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    Great car, inside and out. Sporty exterior, and user friendly interior. Relatively smooth ride with great handling and respoinsiveness, and the engine has plenty of "get up and go" considering the size of the engine. However, a faulty thermostat and faulty cooling fan regulator have both left me waiting for flat bed :( . In both cases, the warrantee covered all repairs and labor charges. Another drawback, the stock sound system is very weak for a Jag, I was very dissapointed. Overall, I LOVE THIS CAR!!! VERY FUN TO DRIVE! Now im just waiting for the 05 introduction of the X TYPE R :)

  • Cats, Bimmers and Subies 70K Update - 2004 Jaguar X-Type

    I bought it out of the lease only because it was the cheapest way to go. The tire wear was somewhat solved by using Fuzion HRi tires, good for about 30K miles. The headlights bulbs by going to GE silverstars, and the dash vents, superglue. Now the shocks all need replacement, and its a good thing this car is mostly Ford because most anyone can work on it. The dealer wants an arm, leg and one or two other appendages to replace them. I will be wary of buying another Jaguar.

    Bought my Jag with 23k miles in June 07. After I bought it, I read all these horror stories about how awful the car was. Well, so far, after one whole year, its really been fine. Its very fun to drive, looks extremely attractive, has some nice pep, and the gas mileage is OK. Just keeping my fingers crossed that the car continues to operate reliability. So far, so good!

  • Surprisingly good car - 2004 Jaguar X-Type

    I wanted something everyone else doesnt have that was stylish and had AWD. This car fills the bill. Despite what reviewers say, I really like the JGate shifter. Havent had any problems at all, except the re- programming of my key remote. Great in the winter...and the car always turns heads.

    This is an incredible car in the snow. Also fun to drive in the turns. I love the quick pull-out from a dead stop that the 227 horse allows.

    I love this car and would surely recommend it to others. It drives well, looks beautiful and is a lot of fun to be inside of. It is great that their exterior styling hasnt been influenced by all the Japanese lines that other Euro car makers are currently wrapped up in. Jaguar should take a look at the interior of Audi A4s to get some hints on how to make the interior feel more like a luxury vehicle though. It is very nice but some aspects like the seat track and some other materials just really dont belong in a Jag.

  • Great Ride Great Service - 2004 Jaguar X-Type

    Great car for the money...the AWD is great in the rain and corners well. For the money you cant beat it. The car has held up well and with the small minor problems I have had the service has been great with no questions. I would recomend this car feels solid and safe.

  • Its a comfortable drive - 2004 Jaguar X-Type

    Especially in the snow when the all wheel drive makes you feel like your driving a little tank. This is complemented by a very nice interior design. The low profile tires, however, are not very good because I have to avoid potholes. I wouldn’t mind the gas mileage if I didn’t have to drive 120 miles a day.

  • If you dont drive a Jag you dont drive - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    I just recently bought a 2004 3.0liter all wheel drive Jaguar. For all of those disbelievers, and people who say this car resembles a Ford "POS" Taures you have another thing coming. The #.0 specifications includes a 227 motor which is the equilivance to a Subura Impreza WRX. The car off the line is a little weak in the 1st gear, but as soon as u shift into 2nd, you realized you are getting your moneys worth. I paid 31,890 out of the lot for this vechile, and it was worth every penny. Take a test drive and you will be hooked.
