  • Outstanding Car - 2004 Jaguar X-Type

    This has been a truly outstanding vehicle. We have 22000 miles without a single problem other than the tires wearing out very prematurely. Service has been outstanding. Fantastic in snow.

  • it needs a little work - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    The X is a truly fabulous car to drive. It handles curves like a champ, and at 120 mph, it still has power to spare. It was annoying to have the transmission replaced at 20k - with 5 others in the shop ahead of mine. Cheap plastic items, like gas cap covers break easily, and a number of electronic problems, like sunroof controls, keep cropping up, requiring the inconvenience of shop visits.

    I bought this car back in March and am completely satisfied with this vehicle. To have a car of this class for the near giveaway price is something to speak of.

    Worst car I ever bought. Rides like a tin can. So many little problems- with lights, sunroof, stereo, wipers,etc. Passenger seat difficult to recline- not power. Wouldnt recommend this car to anyone!

  • JAGUAR...ITS VEGAS BABY!!! - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    It was love at first sight! Then we test drove our Jaguar X-Type and what a pleasure it was! We choose the 5-speed and what a job it does, especially on tight curves, Jag hugs them tightly and smoothly. From the sleek lines of the Jag body, to the 7 layer Platinum paint job with the black leather interior this vehicle is lustrous and smooth, glide your fingers over the paint job...its like butter!

  • The critics arent always right. - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    Critics are pretty tough on this car but I disagree. The car is beautifully styled. The interior looks great. The seats are extremely comfortable. The wood trim is gorgeous and the controls are generally easy and intuitive. The engine is powerful enough particularly with the manual.Brakes are powerful, handling is balanced and precise. All wheel drive is a definite plus-no slipping, skidding or torque steer. Unfortunately, there are still some quality control issues. The shifter cables had to be replaced due to very sloppy shift quality. Also the clutch is difficult to modulate and too abrupt. Overall tho, this is an excellent car at the right price.

  • A loveable car - 2004 Jaguar X-Type

    This is my first Jaguar and it has been pleasure all the way. I recentley owned a Mercedes C230 and its no comparison. I love the leather, wood, and great looks. I sold to Jaguar for now on.

  • Excellent Choice - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    Our first Jaguar after years of Lexus and Infiniti. So far the Jag is awesome. Great looking, great handling and an excellent overall choice. Interior appointments are first class and the ride is far better than we anticipated. Hugs the road and accelerates smoothly and easily. No hiccups in the transmission and braking is effortless. After considering Lexus and Infiniti, we are very happy with the huge savings and comparable performance.

  • LOVE IT! - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    I love this car. I drive a lot. I use to worry about the snow. NOW, I love driving in the snow. The all wheel drive and comfortav=ble cabin makes this car my favorite so far. It does get bit tight in the rear seats though. But that is the only con so far.

    We have been totally pleased with our Jaguar X 3.0. We use to drive a loaded minivan and havent missed it for a second. It has a very comfortable ride with as much power as you will ever need off the race track.
