All X-Types get redesigned alloy wheels, as well as a revised front bumper and new foglights. The trunk lid has been reshaped and the push-button release for the trunk is now easier to operate.
- Comfortable highway ride, attractive styling inside and out, standard all-wheel drive, large trunk.

Forget about everything you ever knew... - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By KarlJohnson - March 31 - 10:00 amThis car is tremendous and leaves everything that Ive ever thought about Jaguar quality at the door. Ill keep everyone posted but the last 4,000 miles have been exiting and the car handles like a dream. This is AWD and you will not find that in any car in its class (for this price). The car has a terrific sound system and the Nav system is awesome. I actually look forward to driving in it as the same day it was purchased. You owe it to yourself to at least test drive one!

An amazing car particularly at the price - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By Jurgen - January 5 - 10:00 amI drove nearly every car under $40,000 that had AWD before getting a 2.5L w/ manual. (Merc C class, BMW 325 / 330 xis, Mitsu Evo VIII, Volvo S40-FWD, then AWD, and Infiniti G35x). X-type had the most exciting and classic exterior and interior styling, the most standard equipment, and IMO the best compromise of comfort/handling (handles Boston potholes admirably) among these choices, while offering in the manual xmissions the most fun driving experimence. Only exceeded by Volvo in

Entry level jag - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By 167wood - January 5 - 10:00 amGreat car. surprisingly good in snow and rain. i did slide off the road once in ice, but that was probably because i was a bit overconfident.

who has a lemon - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By oh well - December 31 - 3:06 pmI was looking for schematics of the front diff. (pumpkin) and came to Edmunds and found this review of a lady totally dissatisfied with her x- type. I am sorry but I purchased a 04 with 40,000 miles for my wife and the car has been exceptional. Nothing but normal stuff...rear brakes. this lady who says it has been nothing but trouble must have received a Monday/Friday car and am truly sorry she cannot enjoy the luxury of a Jaguar. This is what Ford intended...to have a luxury car be affordable to the middle class. I am a GM fan, oh well cant win them all.

love the jags - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By jagboy - November 29 - 10:00 amOverall rating would be a 9 out of 10. Under brisk driving the fuel economy is in the teens. Car is tight and fun to drive...too bad they dont make this model in a convertible.

Love that car - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By RJM - November 29 - 10:00 amI got my jaguar in February, 2004 and it has been great so far. It is a fun, sporty car. Handles well and is comfortable to ride in. I got the upgraded sound system and it was really worth the extra money. The inside could be a little more luxorious but I can live with it. I have a lot of fun driving this car and I certainly recommend it.

Great Driving - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By Freddy Gonzalez - November 29 - 10:00 amThis vehicle drives better than any review I have read. The Awd works really well in floridas rainy season. It cuts through the wet surface like butter. I fell very safe at high speeds.

In Love with Jaq - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By dchonj - November 22 - 10:00 amAbsolutely love this car. Its a beauty to behold, and a price tag thats more than $10K less than equally equipped BMW330xi or MB C320. The two weeks since we took it home, its performance has exceeded our expectations.

Working better than I thought! - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
By longhorn57 - November 12 - 2:06 pmBought my Jag with 23k miles in June 07. After I bought it, I read all these horror stories about how awful the car was. Well, so far, after one whole year, its really been fine. Its very fun to drive, looks extremely attractive, has some nice pep, and the gas mileage is OK. Just keeping my fingers crossed that the car continues to operate reliability. So far, so good!
