Review: 2005 Jaguar X-Type Sportwagon
It seems to our staff that there are two primary rationales for buying the 2005 Jaguar X-Type: 1.) "I want a Jaguar!" and 2.) "It's pretty!" Dynamically, the Jaguar X-Type has difficulty competing on equal footing with a standard-issue Honda Accord EX much less the best entry-luxury sedans from Europe and Japan. Neither of its engines, the 2.5-liter 192-horsepower V6 nor the 3.0-liter 227-horsepower V6, stacks up to its competitors in terms of refinement. The ride is smooth and the X-Type is stable under a wide variety of road conditions, thanks in part to its standard all-wheel drive, but it lacks the raw athletic prowess of its German and Japanese competitors even when endowed with the optional Sport package. Like the exterior, the interior looks upscale and classy, with its wide expanse of lustrous wood and creamy optional leather, but the switchgear and other materials are primarily Ford-sourced and feel cheap. This Jag's new-car smell even recalls a Ford product. But what most concerns us is the high percentage of X-Type owners who have reported reliability trouble with this car. Resale values are likewise dismal. For those jonesing for a Jag, a lightly equipped X-Type 2.5 presents the best value. With the X-Type 3.0's bigger engine and expensive options ladled on, you may wonder why you're not considering more competent luxury sport sedans more closely.
