  Style and Class - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By ddaniels - February 19 - 6:53 pm

  I love my new X-Type. The car is absolutely beautiful to look at inside and out and a joy to drive. The build quality is excellent. Jaguar doesnt make extensive changes to their vehicles from year to year but simply improves the model, learning from the past. Its AWD system results in a vehicle that exhibites excellent handling on any road condition. The engine is deceptively powerfull. It is not the quickest from a dead stop (drag racing!), but has excellent pull from 30-100 mph, which is where most of my driving occurs. But if you want of pocket rocket you shouldnt be looking at a Jaguar and should consider a Dodge SRT-4 or maybe a BMW 330.

  By mr riley - November 28 - 10:00 am

  All wheel drive fully loaded for in the low to mid 30s and its a jag. What more could you ask for. The C class benz tops out around the same if not more and dosnt even have full power seats of the list of features this car has, all around its a great buy ad a fun classy car I highy reccomend this vehicle having ownded a benz and a bmw the jag blows them away on style and price.

  2005 X-type Sport...Love it!!! - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By medicinegirl - September 11 - 2:06 pm

  This is my second X type. My first was a 2003 2.5 liter, that was very reliable, and fun to drive. This one is a Sport 3.0, and is WAY better! The handling is really, really improved over the plain X types, as good a BMW 3-series, I think...well worth the difference in price. I shopped around first, looking at the Audi A4, the BMW 3s, the Infiniti G35 and M35, and even considered the S-type, but after I drove an platinum-colored X-type Sport, I ordered a black one on the spot!

  The grin still hasent left my face! - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Tedd - October 1 - 5:30 pm

  What a great car! I just finished driving the X type from Kansas City to L.A. I ventured off the interstate often and hit some great winding mountain road (pine to palms hwy) and even went off road into (yes, into!) the grand canyon on a gravel road/creek bed! Went from rain and snow (in Flagstaff) to desert heat. The car was loaded down to the hilt, driven hard, thrown into corners, cruised at high speed, and every component performed perfectly! (except the rearview mirror vibrated out of position on the rough gravel road leading into the grand canyon) I never had a more fun drive! BMW should be worried!

  2005 X-TYPE 3.0 VDP Edition - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Nice Jag - April 17 - 9:13 am

  Nice comfortable ride. Love the interior leather and the exterior styling on my VDP edition. Decent acceleration but not mind blowing off the line. I expect the manual would be a bit more fun. Roomy in the front and the back seat is par for the course. Nice build quality and has a large trunk. Alpine stereo is ok but the bass needs a little more depth at least for my ears. Seem to be getting 20.9 mpg but I have a heavy foot. AWD is nice -corners ok but does feel a little loose at higher speeds but hey this isnt a sports car. The local Jag service department seems very helpful. I am really enjoying this car and getting a lot of compliments on the interior and exterior styling!

  Jag X 2.5 5M - First 8 months - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By steve - September 30 - 6:56 pm

  Pleased with the car - great value. Interestingly, I switched from a V6 GTI and my back no longer hurts when I drive. The Jag body curves are sensuous and the car is easy to wash and dry. Service has been exceptional, as was the salesman and dealer. In a sea of possibilities, this little Jag is a good bet.

  Jag X - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Gonzales - August 6 - 9:56 am

  The X-Type is a Jaguar in every sense, especially in the one important one: you feel good every time you sit in it, feel the leather, see the wood and chrome, the curves of the bonnet, and feel the way it performs. A delight.

  Quality All Rounder - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By PIKEY - June 19 - 3:03 am

  My third jag.previous models being older xjs. The xtype is a very good all weather car particularly in the snow. The a/c can be somewhat overwhelmed on very hot and humid days. Excellent highway ride,well suspended, unlike older xj models,seamless all wheel drive.

  Fun to Drive - 2005 Jaguar X-Type
  By Keith - May 23 - 8:20 am

  I had never considered buying a Jag until I happened to test drive one while my wife was looking for a new car. It took me by surprise how much fun I had driving the 2.5 5 speed manual. Yes the car is not perfect but I think it holds its own against the BMW 3 and Merz C. I havent had this much fun driving a car since I was a 16 year old with a Camaro. New X-types are a little pricey but a good value can be found with a Certified Pre-owned Jaguar. I ended up buying a 3.0 auto with the sport package. I miss shifting gears but still have more fun than I thought was possible driving a sedan. After 3 months Im still happy I bought the car
