2008 Jaguar X-Type User Reviews

Pros

Good performance, good build quality, good gas milage, reliable

Cons

Low profile tires cause a slight road noise, but it's even worst on some other brands of same range

Purchased As Used

This is the most bargain used luxury car to get. Ford had a great idea to borrow Jaguar's image to create an affordable entry level Jaguar to compete with entry levels BMW, Mercedes and Audi since all of Ford's versions were too far from being qualified. The X type was the cheapest car Jaguar ever created that was way too far from Jag's luxury standard. This hurt the Jaguar luxury image and as a result, it has got many bad criticizes. But regardless of all, it's still a good car. Most users of the X-type have been very happy with it. My 2002 X-type just turned 200k miles last month and I had not a single problem since I got it new. With all standard options like heated seats, power seats, all wheel drive, leather interior, burwood trims, climate controle, one touch up and down for all four windows, CD player, sunroof, backup sensors, alloy wheels, ... it's obviously an excellent entry level luxury cars. The build quality and performance are pretty impressive, good handling, good acceleration, very smooth ride. The engine has cold air intake as standard design, and it's quite agressive on the road and does get many head turns. I tested drive some new Japanese cars, C class Benz, 3 series BMW, and Audi and still went back for another used 2007 X-type. It's the best deal car for the money in its range, an excellent backup for my Jaguar Super V8.
