  Underrated Cat - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Filmwritin - March 23 - 9:20 am

  I read lots of pros and cons on the Jags before the purchase, but proceeded after a test drive. No regrets. The car is quick and nimble. It handles like a dream and has all the creature comforts necessary to survive the speeds of L.A. commuting, along with the parking-lot nature of the rush hour. Kudos to Ford/Jag for refining this model.

  Wagon is superior to x-type sedan - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By roger - March 21 - 7:43 am

  This is second x-type (first was sedan)- this is an awesome car, and we love driving it- great power, great handling, and love the style. Its roomier than the sedan (in the back) and the storage capacity is wonderful. The styling is excellent, and it sets you apart from the crowd. Dealership is great to work with, and service is excellent. Highly recommend this car as it comes with all comforts without the confusion of myriad of option packages. Get the nav system and bluetooth

  Great Car - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Meyer - April 1 - 1:20 pm

  This is a great car. You must get used to the small size, but it is easy to handle. Has a small gas tank so you fill up more often. Jag pays for some of the oil changes, up to 40,000 miles.

  Great little Jag - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By wm - December 13 - 10:13 am

  Traded 2000 S-Type, hated to let it go, perfect for 130000 miles+. But needed wagon type AWD vehicle, not SUV. Still get admiring glances, although not as many as we did with S- Type. Comfortible, beautiful, classy, great in snow. Plenty of power, and most luxury features found in higher priced cars. Carpeting and sunvisors are cheap jack, but overall cars lives up to its image. Wife loves to drive it, and feels very secure doing so in adverse weather.

  second xtype - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By a. amendola - November 30 - 8:06 am

  My first was a 2002 X-Type 3.0. It was a good car, beautiful to look at, and never gave me any trouble. My new 2005 is the 3.0 sport. Wow! What a difference. I just love to drive it. Its exciting to both drive and look at. Jag addressed all the little quirks I had in the 2002. Great job Jaguar! World class fit and finish. I can also fit three sets of golf clubs inside walking bags in the trunk.

  Best car I ever owned - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Colonel D. - September 23 - 11:02 pm

  Every popular magazine and website dissed the Jag wagon when it came out. Boy, were they wrong. I bought mine used, have owned it for eight years, and NEVER had a major maintenance issue with it. Performance is tops, just like the day I got it, and it now has 130k miles. Small and nimble, but with the extra room of a wagon and every extra you can imagine. Sweet ride. Car & Driver called it an "exotic" since less than about 1500 were made between 2004 and 2008. They were right about one thing: its a head-turner and a conversation starter with knowledgeable Jag owners. If Jag still made these, it would be my next car.

  Jaguar X-Type 2.5 - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By ARP - August 12 - 3:13 am

  What a great car. Sexy looks and luxury ride with a sporty flair. I have driven in the heavy snow and ice without snow tires and no problems. Getting 25 mpg. Love the interior and quiet ride. Takes the bumps as a quiet one-piece unit. This is a great car for those who want something different. You dont see everyone with a Jag.

  ITS IMPROVED - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Brooks - July 14 - 4:26 am

  I had been leasing a 2002 X Type. I find the 2005 a much improved car. The transmission is more responsive. The car handles better, has memory seats and mirrors. A great sound system is even better. Before leasing this car I test drove an Acura RL and a BMW 330i. I found the ride and performance of the Jag to be more satisfying In 2 months of driving there have been no defects.

  Best Kept Secret - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By J Smythe - May 13 - 7:56 pm

  This vehicle has been outstanding since I purchased it. 2.5L w/manual transmission is the way to go--good performance and good gas mileage. Clutch is not quite Porsche, but only one step below. The X Type does every thing well and, with the AWD, there is no need for my 4WD Pick Up here in the Wash. DC area. Looks great--most people think I paid way more for it than I did.

  I love this car - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By John - April 3 - 6:26 am

  This is my first Jag and I love it. It handles wonderfully, has lots of power, and has presented no mechanical problems whatsoever. The sound system is superb. Its great in the snow and cuts through large drifts without problems. Overall I would definitely lease this car again.
