Just bought one this week as well. '03 2.5 car with auto trans. During the test drive I noted a bit of driveline noise, but after getting it out on the highway between 50 and 70 mph it seemed much more prominent. I just took back my '05 Infiniti G35 at end of lease having driven Nissan and Infiniti's for years - and was looking for something with more charisma. Only drive 6 miles to the office each day but in NE Ohio AWD is a good idea.. Should I be concerned about this hum? It sounds like my Pathfinder with manual transfer case if you drove it on a dry road...

Sad to say, but, if you read the previous 2525 postings, you shouldn't be too surprised; grief seems to come as standard equipment with a Jag.

My 06 hummed from the day I bought it. Dealer couldn't find anything wrong with it. Two months ago, I replaced the OE Continental tires with Yokohamas and had it aligned. Now it's dead quiet. Check your tires for signs of mis-alignment. Mine cupped on the inner tread, and, were really noisy at interstate speeds. I disagree with the other fellow - this is my second X Type, the first being an 03 2.5. Yeah, the 03 had a few problems, but it was the best foul weather and long trip car I ever owned. Then the local dealer offerer me a hot deal and I swapped it for a better equipped 3.0 Liter model.

Try to be aware of whether or not you are in sport mode. I have a 2002 2.5 and have found a significant difference in gas milage between continuously driving in sport mode as opposed to driving in OD. Use sport mode as needed! RH

I am looking at a 03 Jaguar X type 2.5. I drive 60-miles per day, 14-miles on gravel roads. I have 2-children and a tall husband 6'2"... I'm so excited that Jag now has all wheel drive....I currently drive a Subaru Outback. Am I crazy to switch over? I need some truthfull pro's and con's. I've owned an older Jag before... but I had to sell when we moved to Montana...

Inside Tire Edge Wear

'05 X-Type with 75,000 miles. Great car, love it, but recently tire edge wear has been a problem. Dealer says no one can balance tires. Jaguar does not recommend tire rotation to the best of my knowledge. Right rear camber is out of spec, and there is no adjustment. However, all 4 tires are showing feathering inside. Have Kuhmo tires and they are noisier than I like, but now the tire noise is worse, with only 17K miles. Is trauma the only thing that can throw the wheels out of spec? Why do all 4 tires show irregular wear? Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem. Insurance calls this a 'wear & tear' problem. Dealer will just start replacing parts to try and fix.
Thanks, toner2
