I have had my X-Type for one week now and with 250 miles on the odometer, I am loving the car more and more. I know what you mean by great cornering, Snowjag, I am getting a kick out of taking 90-degree turns at 35mph. It is absolutely awesome! The Continental tires are great, too, I haven't been able to break traction, yet, even on wet surface. It is amazing, how people react to a Jaguar owner. They immediately assume I make a lot of money since I can afford a Jag. Little do they know for how much I was able to buy it. I have been driving it under 3500 rpm as suggested in the manual during the break-in period, so I will save some performance tests for later. Just as I expected, I have pretty much gotten used to the manual shifting and it is becoming a second nature. The clutch spring could be a little less stiff, but I like the way the clutch engages. I have seen the wagon and I think it looks really good, although it is loosing the typical Jag look at the rear. The one wagon I saw had a sticker price of $38,500. Snowjag, as far as oil change is concerned, I will definitely wait at least until 5,500 miles. The 3,000-mile oil changes help the oil companies get rich, but even non-synthetic oil does not deteriorate until about 6,000 miles (Consumer Reports magazine did an extensive study on this using New York taxi cabs). I grew up in Europe where customary oil changes are performed every 6,000 miles and the engines still run great at 150,000 miles. The Jaguar-recommended 10,000-mile oil change is a bit longish in my opinion, unless you use full synthetic. Does anybody know what kind of oil Jaguar puts in the new engines? They recommend Castrol 5W-30, but that oil looks "too yellow" and feels too slippery for Castrol. It has a different smell, too. Thanks |

To all Jaguar drivers: Will appreciate your help on pinpointing great deal on 3.0 X-type wagon lease in NJ /NY/PA area. |

| Honestly, I don't think you will be able to find any great deals on the wagon, not just yet. Some dealerships haven't even gotten them in, yet, and others only have one or two on the lot. The one wagon at a Chicago dealer had a sticker price of over $38K and they said they wouldn't discount it at this point - too early in the year. But, if you get a good deal, let the rest of us know! | |

What kind of deal can I expect on an '05 X-type sport in terms of $$$ off MSRP? Thanks! |

Hi, I live in New York City and I'm also interested in the 3.0 X-type Sport, manual transmission, anyone know any great deals in the tri-state area? Thanks |

| Hello. Jaguar seems to be one of the more active manufacturers in the re-leasing of their previously owned vehicles. The program is appealing to me from an affordability standpoint. Any input as to others experience with the concept or opinions would be appreciated. thanks! | |

I've owned an '02 X-Type 3.0 with the manual gearbox for a few years now and I have nothing but good things to say about the car. If I had to list the negatives, I'd have to say the rather unusual clutch engagement and the lack of two cup holders in the console. They've since fixed the cupholder issue but I don't know about the clutch. My 3.0 came with everything, including the GPS Nav System. It's black on black and that color combo as well as the engine-transmission combo probably make it a rare cat, at least in the USA. It's my wife's car and she loves it. No major problems at all and the few small ones were corrected by the excellent warranty. The car is approaching 40,000 miles and still looks and drives like new. It was my first Jaguar, but it very likely won't be my last. My warranty included 'complementary' services including oil changes at 10,000 mile intervals. I 'complement' that by supplying my own synthetic (Mobil 1 5W30) since Jaguar does not use synthetic oil in the X-Type but I use it in everything I own. |

Anybody having alignment/tire wear problems on their X type. Needed 2 alignments within 15K. It could just be lousy roads here outside PHilly, but I'd like some input. Check Cherry Hill Classic Cars in C.H., N.J. We went past 4 other dealers to get the deal they gave us, and they they treated us like luxury car buyers, not deal chasers.
