Just came across this in my search for an AWD luxury car. Seems like a really nice car, but I know NOTHING of Jaguars, so some real life opinions would be apreciated. Like, where is a town of 20,000 people would I get this serviced for one?
2003 Jaguar X-Type
Thanks

It was built off of the old Ford Mondeo/Contour platform. It's a nice looking car but I'd stay away from them because they cost a small fortune to fix. There's a reason it made a few Worst Cars Ever lists.

Good call. Thanks.

If you want a Jag, get an S-Type. Beautiful cars, and they sound great. Just don't drive it in the snow with the stock tires, as it doesn't work well. They can be had for fairly cheap, too.

I had an 02 s-type 2.5. Bought it cause I thought I would be the shiznit driving a Jag.lol. Ended up being a POS car. Engine is too weak for it, don't know how the larger 3.0 did but the 2.5 should have never been put into that car. Stuff was expensive to fix. tried to save on a brake job and do it myself and I had to go and buy some special tools to finish the job. I wouldn't recommend u get one. especially at that price. Way too much in my opinion. I saw a s-type R for like 10k a while back on ebay.

Keep in mind that is a CAN$ price. Although I am not going to buy this car, so it really doesn't matter anyhow.
