Used 2005 Jaguar X-Type Consumer Reviews
Great Car for the Money!
I purchased a 2004 leftover for $22.8k. It was a base car w/ a five speed manual. A lot of bang for the buck. It would be hard to find something in the same price range w/ all wheel dive, V6, leather and full power even if it wasn't a Jaguar. Power is okay, especially for a small displacement V6. Mated w/the five speed it's more than adequate. Overall I think it's a well thought out car w/a lot of nice touches (adjustable armrest, rear fog lights. etc.). I would strongly recommend the car.
Jaguar X-Type 2.5
What a great car. Sexy looks and luxury ride with a sporty flair. I have driven in the heavy snow and ice without snow tires and no problems. Getting 25 mpg. Love the interior and quiet ride. Takes the bumps as a quiet one-piece unit. This is a great car for those who want something different. You don't see everyone with a Jag.

second xtype
My first was a 2002 X-Type 3.0. It was a good car, beautiful to look at, and never gave me any trouble. My new 2005 is the 3.0 sport. Wow! What a difference. I just love to drive it. It's exciting to both drive and look at. Jag addressed all the little quirks I had in the 2002. Great job Jaguar! World class fit and finish. I can also fit three sets of golf clubs inside walking bags in the trunk.
Love my 05 X-type AWD
The only thing I don't like about my car is the mileage, but I knew that going in. The car drives like a sports car - quick off the line, responds easily and effortlessly, takes the corners like a champ! There is one annoyance - a sporadic rattle and bump from the steering column (I think) which the dealer can't figure out. Other than that, this car is a gem! And people ooh and ahh when then see it or I tell them I have a Jaguar.
Ocean to desert round robin
The only reason I did not give the interior design a 10 rating is because, at 6'1", I have tended toward larger cars. That said, a recent 1200 mile journey to Death Valley & return was our maiden trip to put the "darling little car" (my wife's description) through a gentle test run. We tent-camped in Furnace Creek, hauling all we needed in the cargo area; freeway driving was a fun run for a change with the sport-feel of the road; country curves & desert "thank-you-mums" were even more pleasurable with the X-Type's road- hugging & shorter wheelbase handling. Our 25 mpg average on this trip was most welcome in light of the $3+ pump prices; a fair exchange for a downsized wagon.
