Traded in a 2002 Sport 2.5 for loaded 3.0. The build quality is quite a bit better than the 02. It has a very a beautiful Zircon metallic paint with a chrome mesh grill that turns heads wherever we go. Looks like a much more expensive car than it is. It's a powerful car coupled with a dynamic AWD.

This vehicle is vastly underrated. I was determined to find a "different" luxury car this time around, but no other could compare in style and performance. If you remember the X-Type commercial where the snow plow follows in the Jaguar's tracks, I can sincerely guarantee that this is the handling this car delivers. I am even more impressed with my new VDP Edition. The exterior styling turns heads and the interior is simply beautiful. A recent visit to the car wash reinforced the image of this car - even among the other top luxury cars, this car truly shines the brightest.

This is my 2nd X-Type. Suspension is improved from 2002 model, and the additional front cup holder is convenient; the memory seat is handy. This car is loaded with features. I love the leather interior and wood trim. Fun to drive.

A great road eating machine. Why the bad reviews? The car transforms from a blvd. cruiser for my wife to a true sports sedan with a touch of the "S" button and the help of VVT for me. The AWD is great in both wet and dry conditions. I drove the car 226 miles in heavey rain, wind and fog. The AWD made the trip fell like it was a sunny day.The rear fog lights that are three time brighter then regular tail lights made me fell safer since I could be seen at a greater distance Very comfortable on long trips.I have had no problems since day one, everything was perfect.The large 4 weel dual piston disk brakes with ABS stop the car on a dime. Real wood in the cabin. Great leather seats. Love the car

Not our first Jaguar and this one is a very nice mixture of sport performance and comfort. Around town can seem a little harsh in the comfort though when you are cruising along the interstate it is smooooth sailing! Winding roads of northern Georgia is where this car really lights up! The AWD and new Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires have this car stick like glue to the roads; able to take tight curves at twice the speed and no tire squeal at all; planted! Very spacious interior and can toss my kayak on top, thanks to it being a wagon. Thank you Jaguar!
