2004 Jaguar X-Type AWD - Great Car - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By Tbirdtony - October 11 - 5:36 amI bought a new 2003 Acura 3.2 TL when I decided to purchase an entry level luxury car. After 1 year I traded it for the 2004 Jaguar. Driving the Acura was like owning a Honda Accord. The Acura had paper thin sheet metal, a fair interior, and I received 2 recalls on the engine & transmission. After 2 years of owning the 2004 Jaguar I am still impressed. Great build quality, great interior, good power, great AWD, and no problems or recalls. The Jaguar dealer provides great service on the FREE scheduled maintenance. This is a great entry level luxury car.

I love it! - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By Big Cat - September 18 - 10:00 amI have owned this car for six weeks and am more than pleased. I cannot imagine a better value for the money (luxury car with leather, wood interior, AWD, sunroof, climate control, etc.) thanks to the marketing incentive. The styling is superior and the car turns heads. Who would buy a Honda Accord for $25K when you can but a loaded Jag for a few thousand more? Qaulity is very good so far. Drive is pleasing. It seats four average sized adults but could be a little bigger. I recommend this car highly!

Great performance & dependability - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By brenda9417 - August 9 - 11:20 amSadly, I totaled my Jag last week. It had over 105,000 miles and still drove like it was new off the lot! Whether in sport mode or regular this Jag hugs the road like a dream, stops on a dime, and accelerates on demand. Of course, I did service my car regularly- -which helps with whatever car you own. I had no doubt in my mind that the car would have rolled over 300,000 miles. Ive owned Mercedes, Lexus and BMW and would (hands down) place this car above all of those on reliability and performance. I am currently looking for another X-type to replace it!

Autobahn driving - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By dncncwboy56 - July 9 - 12:31 pmWe have had our 2004 Jaguar X-type 3.0 for four years now and we love it. Have not had one single problem with it. We regularly drive it on the autobahn in Germany where we live. It is electronically stopped out at 126 MPH but anywhere from zero to 126 MPH, the car handles like it is on a city street doing 35 MPH. I would recommend this car to anyone. It is AWD and handles great in snow or in rain. We have videos of us driving 90 MPH on snow covered roads. Extremely comfortable on long trips. Heated seat for the winter. Love it!!

Forget about everything you ever knew... - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By KarlJohnson - March 31 - 10:00 amThis car is tremendous and leaves everything that Ive ever thought about Jaguar quality at the door. Ill keep everyone posted but the last 4,000 miles have been exiting and the car handles like a dream. This is AWD and you will not find that in any car in its class (for this price). The car has a terrific sound system and the Nav system is awesome. I actually look forward to driving in it as the same day it was purchased. You owe it to yourself to at least test drive one!

An amazing car particularly at the price - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By Jurgen - January 5 - 10:00 amI drove nearly every car under $40,000 that had AWD before getting a 2.5L w/ manual. (Merc C class, BMW 325 / 330 xis, Mitsu Evo VIII, Volvo S40-FWD, then AWD, and Infiniti G35x). X-type had the most exciting and classic exterior and interior styling, the most standard equipment, and IMO the best compromise of comfort/handling (handles Boston potholes admirably) among these choices, while offering in the manual xmissions the most fun driving experimence. Only exceeded by Volvo in

Entry level jag - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By 167wood - January 5 - 10:00 amGreat car. surprisingly good in snow and rain. i did slide off the road once in ice, but that was probably because i was a bit overconfident.

who has a lemon - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By oh well - December 31 - 3:06 pmI was looking for schematics of the front diff. (pumpkin) and came to Edmunds and found this review of a lady totally dissatisfied with her x- type. I am sorry but I purchased a 04 with 40,000 miles for my wife and the car has been exceptional. Nothing but normal stuff...rear brakes. this lady who says it has been nothing but trouble must have received a Monday/Friday car and am truly sorry she cannot enjoy the luxury of a Jaguar. This is what Ford intended...to have a luxury car be affordable to the middle class. I am a GM fan, oh well cant win them all.
