2005 Jaguar X-Type Reviews - Page 3 of 4

No problems to report.

After owning the car for one year we are still as enthused as when we first drove it.

Interior comfort in the extremes of both winter and summer is first class.

I have had reason to be glad of the all-wheel-drive feature on several occasions.

Pleasantly surprised when the 32,000 km service was provided by the dealer at no cost.

Since buying this car I have also bought a 2001 Jaguar XJR which is an entirely different "breed of cat" but, as of right now, we would not drive any other make of car>

Nothing so far.

This is a very solid well built car which gives the driver a sense of security and confidence by delivering great performance whilst providing a comfortable unruffled ride.

The Jaguar interior in black leather combined with beautiful platinum silver exterior is a joy to own and brings a new level of motoring pleasure. It is to be hoped that the long term experience will be just as good.

Having read reports of mediocre fuel economy I have been pleasantly surprised. If one uses the accelerator gently and running at a steady highway speed 30-35 mpg can be obtained. In-town mileage not so good, but still reasonable.

There is no visible wear and tear.

This cat is classy!

A smooth ride even in what is supposed to be an underpowered 2.0 V6.

The SE is beautifully appointed and you don't have to look hard to find the specification you desire as you do with MB or BMW.

There is a lot of depreciation in year one so if you can find a low mileage a year or so old I would jump.

An automatic is a must-have in my opinion as you can then fully enjoy the Jaguar driving experience.

Nothing.

This car not only looks gorgeous, but drives even better than it looks. You can drive it like a limo with passengers sitting serenely in the back; or drop them off and head to the freeway!

Boy, what a growl the engine gives under throttle - how about the AWD handling and precision steering?! Just be careful when accelerating hard, the gearbox can 'jump' a little (this is the only grumble). The Sat Nav is magnificent, the Connolly leather even better - this car looks good, smells good and drives beautifully - you can thrash it and it responds, or cruise - you choose.

To say this car turn’s heads is an understatement!
