#2304 of 2563 re clutch by kssod1 Dec 20, 2005 (5:27 am)
My 02 3.0 sport manual had many growing pains but the clutch was not one of them. After almost 60k miles no problems. As far as cold weather, I live in cleveland and if the car has been outside all da y the shifter is a little stiff but usually loosens up after a few throws, less than a minute.

Replying to: dhanley (Dec 19, 2005 3:12 pm) No, it wasn't a V8, it was actually a V10, straight from a Viper (ha, ha). In all seriousness, if I faced a possibility of getting a new 3-series for the same or at least close price as I got my Jaguar, I would be strongly biased towards the bimmer for its sportiness, but until then, I will fully enjoy my Jaguar. I agree with you that "pleasant" is very subjective. It was just my own observation.

#2311 of 2563 Is it So? by nkhan1 Jan 03, 2006 (10:42 am)
After reading edmunds forums, it seems Jaguar X-type 2002 till 2004 are worthless cars. Everyone who has bought the cars except only a few rare cases ,seem to have problem with this car. Yet Jag owners still love their cars. No doubt the beauty of the car is un matchable.  Soemtime the way soem have written down clearly shows they had no idea about the car but just wrote down or maybe they are sales people themselves.     I am intrested in buying a Jaguar X-type of 2002 (used) with around 48k miles on it. Please recommend if i should or not. Seeing so many problems wther genuine or not i am a little reluctant to buy this car. WIll appreciate you views.

Replying to: nkhan1 (Jan 03, 2006 10:42 am) If you have really been reading this forum, you would know that you should avoid a 2002 as it was the first year and had many problems, most of them minor. I would definitely try for a 2003 or later when most all the problems were addressed. That said, I bought an early 2002 and had almost no problems at all. But I am in the minority. If I were you, I would not buy the '02.

Replying to: nkhan1 (Jan 03, 2006 10:42 am) There are lots of cars (if not most) that do have issues, some minor and others major in nature. We would all like a perfect car, but they do not exist. Even the very expensive BMWs encounter major electrical issues and Lexus owners complain about anything from their cars pulling to one side to their engines suffering from sludge. Overall, X-Type is a great car and you can't beat the appeal or the prices for which you can buy them. I would recommend 2003 or newer, especially that the price difference does not seem to be significant. Good luck!
