The vehicle is a great looking and bears a great name, yet does not drive in that manner. I love the stylish interior and exterior. The reliablity is somewhat of an issue.
Stay away!

At 87K miles most would expect all parts of the powertrain to be intact but not with the X type. The dealership tells me I need a transmission, axle, transfer case along with water pump. I just fixed the wiper motor and the engine is pinging. I thought I just got the trouble car but I learned the transmission went out on 2 other owners I talked to in the Jaguar waiting room. No wonder they offer only a 50K mile warranty for such an expensive car. The one thing that hurts so much is the value drops like gravity. I owe 20K on this car and it looks nice and all but is only worth 11K according to KBB. Consider yourself warned. Stay away from this car.

First Jag ever purchased and I am very satisfied and pleased with its performance. Takes off at the drop of a dime and leaves everything behind it in its dust! Handles a curve in wet or dry conditions superbly. Comfortably seats my family of four including my 6 foot husband. Interior is butter soft and so classy and elegant holds true to JAG reputation. Interior works well with Liquid Silver exterior and mesh grill...heads turn when we drive by for a second look. Love the Sports car feel in a Luxury Sedan! I'm truly PLEASED INDEED with this vehicle and strongly considering buying the XJ or XJ8 for my husband.
A Beautiful Work of Mechanical Meyhem

The good news is this the sexiest car I've had and looks great. I got it for what I thought was a low price for Jaguar but I have put more than double what I paid for it into repairs on this beautiful work of a mechanical mayhem. I had some very expensive problems with the cooling system and the rear axle. This car gets terrible mileage and is expensive to fill with such a large tank. The leather seats cracked and come to find out they are pleather, not leather. I've now had a Jaguar & don't think I'll be getting another.

I hope they dont stop making this car. Overall, remains the best looking car on the road since brought to the market. Period. Will age slowly and gracefully.
