My first Jag, and not my last.

I leased this car 3 months ago and so far I am totally in love with it. The styling, handling, overall feel of the entire car is fantastic. I drive between Washington DC, NYC, Philadelphia monthly and has not let me down once. The Diesel engine is totally awesome and I always get fabulous fuel economy. I never have a problem finding diesel fuel anywhere either which is one of the first questions people ask when I tell them that is indeed Diesel. The leather is beautiful and the overall sophistication and look of the cockpit is great too. Im a bit of a car freak and over the past 7 years have owned a Mercedes Benz SL500, Infinity G37x, Audi Q5, Audi A3, as well as a BMW 535I. I had a moment when I wanted to be practical and bought a Toyota but last only lasted 5 months. Anyways its really a terrific car. Now not all cars are perfect... lets talk about some of the things that I don't like about the car and drive me crazy. The sound system is good quality, not the best but its just good at reasonable volumes. When you turn it up some of the speakers don't sound too hot. The plastic bottom door area rattles sometimes depending on the type of music you are playing and drives me nuts. Another thing that happens while listening to music loudly is that the piano black veneer trim I think rattles slightly too off and on depending on the song. I notice this more when the bass is tuned up anymore than half way balanced. The backseat legroom is terrible and always feeling like people are squeezing into the back seat. I am under 6 ft tall so someone sitting beside shouldn't ever be a problem unless they are taller than I am. Also getting in and out of the car is a little difficult. I don't know if its because its very low, or the angle of the drivers seat or what but I feel like an old man getting out of it sometimes and I'm in my late 20's. But really at the end of the day it is a fantastic car. It turns heads and just has such great style thats not overdramatic and in your face like some of the other brands. My sister and her boyfriend both have BMW 3 series and after driving my new Jag they are trading both in and looking at this car and considering the new F PACE. This will not be my last Jag, if this one treats me well for my 3 year lease I will be looking at getting another XE, or perhaps trading up and getting the XJ. I feel that all of the things I don't like about my XE will go away if I get myself into an XJ.

35T prestige is a much better choice!

I agree that many Jaguar sedan models have a somewhat cheap looking interior compared to the competition, but check out the 35T Prestige model. This model has a very nice leather interior that compares to the very best competitors. The AWD and supercharged 6 cylinder engine are expensive options but they turn the car into the luxury car you imagined. Very fast, very economical, and the best warranty of any luxury car, bar none. The back seat is indeed a little tight, but if you primarily carry two people or maybe two plus kids, it is perfectly fine and definitely comfortable. They could solve this by making the front dashboard on the passenger side about 2 inches shallower. We have owned a Mercedes and a Volvo, this model is better than either of them. Don't waste your money on any of those overpriced 4 cyl models that every manufacturer is pushing. When you step on the gas in a Jag, you know you made the right choice. Lovin' our 35T. It is now four years old and I still stand by my original comments. A great car and a great warranty. After seven years of ownership, I can stand by my review. This is an excellent driving experience with supercharged v6, not to mention trouble free for all this tome. Excellent service staff.

Pre-owned. only had it 4 weeks, but enjoying it so far. handling is superb with 19" wheel upgrade. Peppy acceleration, braking is aggressive. Excellent support from Jaguar thus far. 5 yr/ 60000 mile warranty and maintenance program is fully transferable on all their vehicles, pretty hard to beat! We love this car!

Test drove the A4, 3 series, and C class and was left unimpressed with what they had to offer. I then did some reading on the new xe. I decided to give it a try. Went in for a test dive and signed the paperwork that same day! I was I impressed by the styling, the handling and most of all the power it offered. The supercharged V6 has tons of it. When pressed, the engine seems like it can pull for days. The handling outclassed the 3 series. Now I must admit that the interior is not up to snuff compared to the compact luxury sedan class. It leaves a bit to be desired. But then I turn on the car, put it into drive, hit the gas, and I am quickly reminded why I purchased this car. It does not disappoint. Plus did I say how much I like the reaction I get from others when I say I own a jaguar? Love the car. Test drive. I am sure you will too!

This is my first Jaguar after eight leases of BMW's. I was ready to re-order another 435i when I test drove the Jaguar and watched the u-tube comparision of the two. I've had the car for 11 months now now and could not be more pleased. Drives fantastic--best handling car I have ever had--accelerates like a rocket---overall great car that I would highly recommend.
