  Keeps on "Truckin" - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By pandahenry - February 2 - 7:24 am

  This is the Wifes "Dog and plant hauler" It is just a bit past 77k mi. and still works fine., in fact on the highway, the fuel economy is an amazing 27-28 mpg! The ride has deteriorated" in part to recent tire purchase ( TOO high performance) In the 9 years we have owned= only 4 problems.. #1.a brake boost seal (replaced under warranty.) #2. expensive performance components like the Special F Brake discs. #3 Passenger seat-seat belt buckle malfunction..= new and VERY expensive female seat belt clasp #4 the led light that allows view of temperature numbers is out and cannot be repaired easily I see many of these vehicles still on the road here in Coastal Southern California I know that this car is fast "like a Jaguar".....it is fun to drive "like a Jaguar" it has unique style and grace,"like a Jaguar We are glad that Jaguar has re-introduced the SportBrake " (as they call it in England) We wanted to order a new Sportbrake, however,we are looking at the F-pace because this Sportbrake-Wagon rides low to the ground and a few inches of taller ride would help us navigate the gauntlet of distracted drivers in Coastal Socal We might be selling soon

  Why the Bad Rap? - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Adam - June 23 - 4:06 pm

  I read all the reviews before buying my X-type and I was a little worried as most seemed to give the car a bad rap. After owning it for 8 months I have found only minor things I would change on the car. Most reviews said the car wasnt as sporty as the other small cars in its class. While that may be true not everyone is looking for a sports car. With the 230hp engine the Jag will get you anywhere you need to go plenty fast. If youre looking to blow the doors off other cars go buy a Mustang Cobra for the same price. For the rest of us who are just looking to ride around in style this car is perfect. Drives nice, looks sharp, and I havent had any issues yet.

  one of the best - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By stu - December 31 - 9:50 pm

  Poor handling??? This thing handles like its on railroad tracks. It tracks straight as an arrow. Slightly hard ride because of the silly 17 inch tires. Best interior materials Ive seen for that price. All in all a winner for a smaller luxury sports sedan. Could use better ergonomics on the dash panel.

  2005 X-type VDP - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Andy - May 29 - 11:03 am

  Overall I am very pleased with my experience with the car. The styling is exquisite and the interior elegance is above its competitors. The car has plenty of power (3L V6 engine) to make my driving fun and leave a fair amount of cars behind.

  six months ownership - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By N.B. - July 19 - 10:00 am

  Excellent service from salesman. However, recieved car with 50lbs pressure in each tire (did not discover until after 3 weeks).Should be 32lbs in each tire. Gas Mileage is rated 22/28. However, have not yet done better than 22 miles/gallon (car has 5-speed stick). Vehicle handles very well; is fun to drive, especially on highway with curves. Holds road extremely well. Manual suggests oil change every 10000 miles but was advised to do so at5000 (at my expense).
