2008 Jaguar X-400

A really exquisite driving and ownership experience with this car. The X-Type (X-400) is a beautiful blend of elegance, comfort, and performance without feeling ostentatious. In our snowy winters, its AWD capabilities are especially welcome. Like any car, if it has been faithfully maintained, the X-400 will give its owner years of reliable service.

First Luxury Car I've Owned

This was my first Luxury car I bought Also the first car I bought online and in another state. This car was everything I thought it would be for a luxury car. The only down side was there was a lot of maintenance need to keep this kind of car running correctly. But would I do it again, YES I would nothing beats drive a Jaguar.

Drive like you stole it

Honestly I loved little car, it’s sports and can hit 80mph in like 1 an half minute. It’s a good running car and good for country roads or even the interstate lol

Very luxurious

Definitely a Head turner as well as a very smooth and luxurious feel. Affordable for those who want luxury but cant afford a bmw or Mercedes

What an awesome kitty!!!!

I drove a Mercedes of one style or another for 15 years and then decided to venture out. I researched the different AWD cars, keeping the gas mileage in mind given that I have such a long commute. I came upon the Jag x-type and researched it to death given all the bad press that the Jags got some time ago. I finally decided to buy one that had very low miles and dealer kept. I picked up my kitty with 15,000 miles in July 2017. It surpassed all my expectations! The pick up is great. I can look to my right and to my left going through a toll booth and know that my kitty can comfortably pass 99% of the cars on the road without breaking a sweat. The ride is smooth and solid. The AWD is great in winter driving, even compared to the ML350 that I used to drive. The interior is far beyond the quality of the Mercedes. The leather is butter soft and the wood grain gives it a very sophisticated touch. The audio controls on the steering wheel are very convenient. The large touch screen display is very visible and easy to use. The Alpine speakers make the long ride home listening to music very enjoyable. My kitty now has 23,000 miles. I could not be happier...so much so that I just picked up a 2007 x-type with 3,800 miles (not a typo). I am going to pass my 2005 on to my husband and enjoy my new red kitty! If you find one that has low miles and dealer kept by the previous owner, don?t hesitate to buy it. You get a lot for your money but it is not just about the money. At any priice, dollar for dollar you can?t hold a candle to what you get in a Jag.

Fun to drive, comfortable ride, but expensive

Met expectations, comfortable and responsive. Expensive to repair, and with age I would not recommend keeping once problems become frequent.

This car performs well. It corners like a sports car. The all wheel drive train is Lincoln/Mercury. The body styling is typical Jaguar. Stylish.

WOW,... and My Friends said, Don't

I bought my Elegant 2005 X - type Sedan after driving a Lincoln Navigator,.. WHat have I been Missing... It hit 0-60 in 10-15 Seconds. Over all around 29-34 MPG Nice Sportscar feel Ride, 3.0 Liter 6 cylinder Enginer has the Power one would not expect from a Baby Jaguar,.... Factory installed Beautiful Realistic (6 cd load trunk) Sound System. Quiet Engine. Boy, do I get the Looks. Its just a Nice Car. Maintenance is a bit Pricey, but hey, for the Style, Quality n reliability.. You cant Go Wrong. Smooth Calf Leather Interior, 17 inch Wheels are Sassy. I had never imagined this type of Satisfaction. Im a Single Retired School Teacher. Never thought I could afford a Jaguar. Great AWD suspension, does Well in Iowa Winters. I am VERY HAPPY n Would recommend this Car for anyone able to afford the Maintenance.. $100.00 Dealer Change, but Simple enough even a novice can do. Thanks for reading my Review
