Jaguar X-Type 3.0 - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By wingr - June 9 - 2:00 amNice car. Accelerates well. Handles great with all wheel drive. Ride is a little stiff and generally smooth but you can feel any road irregularities like a sport car suspension. Interior is nice and comfortable. Back seat is a little tight. Base stereo sounds good.

Ok for a first luxury car - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By Jason - May 4 - 7:30 pmI was 25 when I bought my X-type, my first "luxury" car after I finished grad school. The car is not perfect as it has been in the shop several times and Ive spent about $2000 on little annoyances in just a few months, but I feel safe and its no lemon. Be sure to find a reputable repairman quick! The car is BEAUTIFUL to look at and after a year of ownership I still turn back and look at it. The interior is also nice but the seats are a little flat. Gas mileage is OK and my 3.0 in sport mode picks up pretty well. In sum if youre looking for a true luxury car you may want to look elsewhere but if youre young and looking for a eye-catching ride you cant go wrong with the X-type 3.0.

Great Car but not from Cherry Hill NJ - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By BoroBulldogs - May 1 - 10:00 amMy Jaguar 2004 x-type has been a reliable vehicle as far as the powertrain is concerned. It is a great performing car that handles turns with tremendous agility. However, there is a defect with the interior design- specifically the interior peeling from around the windshield and back window. This is documented in many places on the internet. Please check the interior edges in these locations before making your purchase and be wary of what dealership you choose to deal with. When our original dealership closed in Mays Landing NJ we were forced to do business with Cherry Hill Classic Cars in NJ, which I strongly advise you to STEER CLEAR of as they turned the deaf ear on this defect!

Great Car - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By dwbarry - March 30 - 3:56 amI bought my X-Type new in 2004 and still have it. After over 90K miles there are only two problems - the interior cloth material falling away from the front and read roof posts (like several others have mentioned) and the headlight assembly breaking due to what I guess is the front end stiffness. My dealer in New Orleans has been terrific and fixed the interior cloth issue for free. The headlight repair estimate was quit expensive so Ive opted to operate the car with less than perfectly aligned headlights. Overall the car has been one the best cars Ive owned in 41 years of driving.

Not the stereo-type Jaguar - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By Jeff - February 19 - 1:50 pmI have a 2.5 X-type with 5-speed which I purchased new and its now about 5 year old. This car has had one warranty issue in 5 years and otherwise it has been perfect. Handling is great although you must be willing to let the car lean into a curve on back roads. AWD has been great for trips to Vermont. I will definitely buy another Jaguar. The old stereotype of quality is way over. This is a very good entry luxury car for the money and its not just as common as dirt like so many other makes either German or Japanese.

Update On 17K miles Jag XT 3.0With High Speed Vibration Problem - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By tggary - October 31 - 1:42 pmFortunately, the Dealer I bought this car from went the extra mile needed to rectify the problem. Besides new wheels and a few other replaced parts, they provided a second new set of tires, again alligned and balanced of course, and I took the car up to 90 on the highway with zero vibration evident, and a whole new ride overrall. Then when I went through my glove compartment to review the Registration paperwork, I found another envelope with my name on it -- inside was cash equal to my first months paymment. The Dealer carries all highline and next to highline vehicles at bottom line pricing and obviously backs up the customer in regard to the New York State Warranty rules. Contact me at TGGaryVerizon.net if you are interested in knowing more - Good News! The dreaded high speed vibration in the X Type does have a fix. TGGary

has some faults - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By peelu27 - July 29 - 10:03 amA few surprising build quality issues. center armrest console is rubbish and creaks and moans if you put any weight on it. The headliner/nterior fabric is coming off all over the place. There is no trunk button in the interior. Ive never heard of a car without a release. Requires expensive premium fuel, for this price point, a really bad idea. This is not a $60k car. The rear leg room is ridiculously small for this size of a car. Theres more room in my ford fusion. theres more room in an audi a4. The gas mileage is appalling. I drive 98% freeway miles and i get 20 mpg and i hear most people get much worse.

Jaguar X-Type - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By ajl24paws - January 6 - 2:00 amGreat car. Loads of fun to drive. Sporty looks inside and out. However it does have a weak sound system and a faulty thermostat has left me waiting for a towtruck once.
