"We leased an '02 X-Type 2.5 for my wife in 2002 and we drove it almost 50K. Had a couple of non mechanical problems with it, but the dealer was great. In '05 we purchased a 2005 3.0 and have 95,000 on it now. Knock on wood (it's nicely appointed with it!!) it's been in once for none warranty work (cost us $126.00) and routine maintainence. Best car we ever owned, including a really nice handling Peuguot STI. We live in snowcountry and the AWD with winter tires makes it so we're never "homebound". It's silly what that car will go through! My only possible complaint is that it's a little cozy to get in and out of. My wife and 5'2" just loves it! I get to drive it once in a while."

"2005 Xtype - 3.0 I drove 22k miles in mine in 2008 from (39k to 61k) and think its the most comfortable reliable car I have ever owned. I've only been to the dealer twice, once every 10k miles for a regular service, and have been pleasantly suprised at how little it cost, on average $500 a time. Handling is excellent, i love pulling off the highway at 55 with someone tailgating me and watching them struggle as I dont slow down and they have to. Performance is good, and economy is acceptable, I average 23mpg in mixed driving with about 70% highway. 28 mpg is possible if you do 100% highway and stick to the speed limits."

"I needed a wagon for all my toys. I had an 01' BMW 528 wagon prior and this Jaguar 3.0 AWD wagon is a very close match to my Beemer. It is slightly smaller but makes up for that in comfort and styling. I can't tell you how many positive comments I receive on this automobile! The ride is a little noisy, but this could be due to the low profile tires that it sits on. The seats are pure comfort. Long drives are a pleasure. You can't get a better deal or "bang for your buck" wagon on the second hand market than the Jaguar 3.0 wagon X-Type! I wish they had continued to make the line."

"I have owned Acuras, Infinitis and this is the classiest looking and best riding car I have ever had. I loved it so much, I bought another one and now my brother drives the one I had. I like how it does not look like every other bland jellybean on the road. I wish they would have replaced it with another reachable Jag for a middle class family."

"I have owned a 2005 3.0 for one year. The funest car I have ever owned! I have had Infiniti, Lexus, VW, and this car is by far the best handling vehicle I have had. AWD is a dream during winter, and we get good snow in Salt Lake City. Use the J-Gate Auto-Manual and let it pull 7000 RPM and have fun as you go thru all 5 gears. The 3.0 24 Valve V6 just sings. So much car for the money! Everyone says Ford hurt the Value of this vehicle. Ford improved and made this vehicle very affordable to the average Joe. I was thinking of selling mine (I only keep my cars a year) I can't find anything 20K - 25K I would rather have. If you are considering, check it out, Buy It you will love it!"
