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.

  Jagau X-Type 3.0 - WARNING !!! - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
  By Dean358 - December 21 - 10:00 am

  I bought a new 2002 X-type 3.0. Although I really enjoy driving this car it has been a maintenance nightmare. The car was delivered with three Continental and one Pirelli tires (should have tipped me off). Selected problems over the course of 30,000 miles: transmission seal has been replaced four times, transmission has been replaced, master computer has been replaced, cooling system main valve has been replaced (car had to be towed), brake pads replaced, trunk latch is intermittent. Spoke with jaguar repeatedly about this car – no help. STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST BUYING THIS CAR!!!

  This car drives and handles well, and it has exceeded my expectations. The car is adequately equipped, and it looks more classy than any of the cars in its peer group.

  I love it! - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
  By Robins - September 29 - 3:03 am

  Where else can you find a prestige vehicle with more class than a BMW, a fun 5 speed and AWD? Those who criticize the are certainly not drivers. This car is fun to push! The AWD is great in the rain and aids in acceleration. I negotiated a very low purchase price – I recommend this car to all who enjoy driving!

  Its a real Jaguar! - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
  By C.B. Hoffman - August 9 - 10:00 am

  For those who have dreamed about owning a Jaguar but found it out their reach, the 2.5L x -type is the right place to start. I found road handling excellent, and the car responds well, both on curves and on the straightaway. The AWD is really good in the snow. The five speed transmission handles well, but drivers should remember that the clutch-gas-clutch-gas syndrome in heavy traffic takes some getting used to. But the best thing about the Jaguar is what is what has been its trademark since the beginning: Its beautiful. Mine is British racing green, and people actually stop and stare at the car, both in traffic and when its parked.

  Good, but not Fantastic - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
  By jaguar Man in L.A. - July 20 - 10:00 am

  The X-type looks great inside and out. To me it looks like a mini XJ. There are several items that I would like to point out to potential buyers. I have the 3.0 Liter but it is weak with hardly any torque. Gas mileage is horrible. Much less than the sticker says. I drive about 1/2 city 1/2 highway, and average only 17 MPG. Also, the car has alot of rattles, and the springs are very squeeky. The car rides very harsh, especially on dips or rough roads. Overall a decent car, but the lack of build quality really shows.

  Better than led to believe - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
  By Jag person - July 15 - 8:03 am

  After reading the negative on-line reviews from professionals, I held my breath after buying my Jaguar. Perhaps because of low expectations, I was and continue to be delighted by my driving and ownership experience. Im not sure who reviewers think is driving BMWs and Audis and Mercedes, but the average driver is going to get plenty of performance from an X-type. I am a driving enthusiast who drives cars hard. If I had any more speed or handling than my Jag provides, I would probably have a fistful of speeding tickets. I sincerely doubt that drivers of the other sports sedans use the difference in performance that I will admit is probably there. And as for cachet, just try to beat a Jaguar!

  If only there was a money back guarantee - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
  By nopesa - July 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought the 3.0 Sport because it visually appealed to me and on test drive was smooth, fast and quiet. But after 2 months, the Sport package has proven too stiff, the gas mileage is worse than a SUV...consistently average 13-14 mpg. The drivers seat shakes. Buttons here and there squeak and the car just doesnt make itself a keeper. My old Lexus was light years smoother and more sophisticated than this Jag.

  Great Cat - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
  By Frank K - June 17 - 12:53 am

  Great value. I know this is a Ford based car, but the value is great. The ride is firm and yet comfortable. Huge trunk. No issues, recalls and free maintenance!!
