  • A Jag review - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    I like the car over all it has a lot of power. It is small enough I like all the features in it. Coming from Volvo background, it has same comfort and gadgets as Volvo does. Very satisfied.

  • Love my 05 X-type AWD - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    The only thing I dont like about my car is the mileage, but I knew that going in. The car drives like a sports car - quick off the line, responds easily and effortlessly, takes the corners like a champ! There is one annoyance - a sporadic rattle and bump from the steering column (I think) which the dealer cant figure out. Other than that, this car is a gem! And people ooh and ahh when then see it or I tell them I have a Jaguar.

  • I love my XTYPE Sport - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    It doesnt get better for the price. It is true that it is heavy and does not corner as well as a BMW or other sport car- but its not meant to. This car is for a comfortable ride, a luxurious ride, and it is the perfect size, has the perfect interior and is truly a headturner on the streets..plus...you dont see many on the road..always a plus- its not your regular civic or camry.

  • Great Car for the Money! - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    I purchased a 2004 leftover for $22.8k. It was a base car w/ a five speed manual. A lot of bang for the buck. It would be hard to find something in the same price range w/ all wheel dive, V6, leather and full power even if it wasnt a Jaguar. Power is okay, especially for a small displacement V6. Mated w/the five speed its more than adequate. Overall I think its a well thought out car w/a lot of nice touches (adjustable armrest, rear fog lights. etc.). I would strongly recommend the car.

  • Underrated Cat - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    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 -

    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

  • My first Jaguar - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    This was my first Jaguar and I was thrilled to own it. It is an amazingly beautiful car. I still cant stop looking at it. The interior is very pleasing and comfortable. However, my car visits the shop on average once a month for stupid things like locking making noises, trunk leaks, gas door wont open, oh and 2 transmissions later.

  • Great Car - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    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 -

    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 -

    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.
