For 2004, Jaguar has reduced the base price of the X-Type 3.0 by almost $3,000. In other news, the Sport Package now includes 18-inch wheels and a 320-watt sound system. 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.

Pros:
  • Comfortable highway ride, attractive styling inside and out, standard all-wheel drive, large trunk.

    The only complaint is that the data on the trip computer window is very difficult to read, specially when the sunlight changes. This defect should be corrected with a recall. Recently I drove a 2005 Ford Taurus with a similar trip computer for two weeks in Florida.The readings on its green window were very sharp all the time. I am willing to pay for the correction, if need be.

  • Update On 17K miles Jag XT 3.0With High Speed Vibration Problem - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    Fortunately, 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.

    This is my first Jaguar always waneted one but never could afford it. I love the styling and the good looks and the AWD is a pleasure. Jaguar has improved their quality and reliability. The comfort and convience is top of the line for a entry level car. I love Jaguar.

  • The awesome Jaguar - 2004 Jaguar X-Type

    The new Jaguar X-type is an excellent vehicle. The car is very Jaguar. It handles and corners very well. A great deal of people dont know enough about Jaguar. The 3.0 V-6 is very quick, 0-60 in about 6.6-6.8 seconds, I have the 2.5 with a manual,and this is their base model car. Jaguars fastest car is the XJR. It is rated at 0-60 time of 5.0 seconds. As for the interior of the X-type,it has gorgeous wood maple veneer,and beautiful Rolls Royce like interior. The critics are overly too critical of the X-type.

    2004 X-Type. Love this car. A lot of luxury for a relatively low price. No problems or issues as described her by other buyers. Cabin interior is quiet. WI climate has been cold/snowy and the AWD is excellent. Styling is nice and interior fit/finish is excellent. The only criticism to offer relates to mileage (it could be better for a compact), but in the near luxury class who can complain? :-) Not an XJ, but at this price its a great substitute! Jenkins Jaguar here in MKE has been wonderful to deal with.

  • has some faults - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    A 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.

  • Favorite car in 20 years of driving - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    This car is class and also reliable. I have had no problem and tend to drive it in different settings. You will definitly get your moneys worth by driving this sexy car. I have driven everything but nothing like this one. X type will be my next car again unless I hit the loterry than Ill by the big one or the S type.

  • A typical Ford - 2004 Jaguar X-Type
    By -

    I am so unhappy with this car. It has had so many problems, I hate the fact of even getting in the car. The transmission went at 9,000 miles, the car has been at the dealer at least 7 times in one year. Thank goodness they offer a free loner car. I have had every color X type in my driveway The sad thing is they all seem to drive like my old ford tempo. Sad because they are a nice looking car. I am not usually one to complain, but I am going back to Acura when this lease is up.
