Used 2002 Jaguar X-Type Consumer Reviews
Never Buy the First Year
The car is a lemon. You should never buy a car the first year out. The car has had tons or re-calls and is always in the shop. The car does not have much power from the get go.
X Type surprise
The x-type holds the road beautifully. You can corner at high rates of speed without a problem. I've never experienced engine braking like this car. The only real negative is that the 2.5 L is fairly sluggish in traffic. It could definetely use more pep. the gas mileage is around 21 mpg. Not bad.
A Great Car
I have been completely satisfied with my new X type. The dealership in Dallas was great including the salesperson. You need to drive this car.
Be Warned
Great Looks. If only they could make a car worth the $$. My car has been in the shop more than 45 days total. My MAIN complaint about the car is the amount of road noise and rattling (doors & dash). They have a design problem with the front heater vents; they pop-up and will not stay in place. The other problems I have had with our car is gas tank issue (service advisory), gas gauge, manual trans issues when cold, drivers interior door (re-design on clips). My recommendation is DON'T buy. Better quality available for the same price. If you want the cat on the hood, look into the S-Type or higher. I feel like we paid $35,000 for a YUGO most days.
Buy this car.
Fast, furious and safe. The car is incredibly smooth and takes turns outstandingly. I had to make a very quick stop from 40 mph to zero and the car hugged the road and kept its balance. Tight back seat, but can get four sets of golf clubs in the trunk.
