2004 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 review from North America
"Perfect balance of luxury and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
We are nothing, but happy with this car.
All wheel drive is far better than ever expected.
Interior feels luxurious and comfortable.
Ride of the car is generally superb - including over Northeast US potholes! Handles and corners beautifully. Superior combination of comfortable ride with handling and stability. Attribute this to stiffness of the car.
For the performance, quality and money (given 2004 model year price cuts) I believe it far outstrips the other "entry level" models from luxury marques.
