Maintenance is the most important thing. Being a certified mechanic, maintaining the unit is not an issue but it's intense. The best thing is the looks you get... precious. The finish is flawless after 15 years. Interior is a little iffy for Jaguar, but it WAS entry level. A year later: I am pleased by the reliability of this car. Like I previously said, maintenance is key, although it was well cared for before I got it! I've refreshed ALL the fluids and kept up on any little issues before they became major. Currently at 84K miles, I'm considering struts and tie rod ends to smooth out the ride....maybe. I really like this car!

Poor Quality Parts and Finishes

Major disappointment! At under 30,000 miles and after having kept it in perfect condition, the interior began to literally fall apart! And what did Jaguar senior maintenance manager have to say? She hung up on me when I demanded to know who her boss was since she didn't want to take my complaints seriously. All told - $1800 to get it fixed! Never buy another Jaguar again! Can't wait to unload this one!

When I pulled out of showroom and got this car on the expressway, I never realized a driving experience quite like this. Wow. Now I know why I always wanted to own one. This is no Caddy or Lincoln.

Fun to drive. Will come out of the hole like a boy dog. Stand flat footed and jump a 5 strand barb wire fence. All of that and then some. Will be trading my wife's new Caddy in on one of these new breeds of X-Cat so that she will have one as well. We both loved our first two XJ-6s but these X-3s are the ultimate driving machines. There is only one way to look at it - when in doubt, take the Jag.

We are very pleased with our X-type. We bought it for the styling, the all wheel drive and the over all "size" of the vehicle. We have not been disappointed.
