This is a good cruising car. However repairs are expensive and don’t buy pre 2002 when they made some engine mods that were really needed. Enjoy soft ride with European handling pleanty of pier v6 or v8. Jul 20, 2022

Love my Jag, it suits me and my life style perfectly. The size is perfect with the comfort of taking out friends with its spacious passenger compartment, yet compact enough to feel the sporty aspect of the car. The handling is awesome and the 2.5 is enough power for me.Oct 05, 2014

Excellent handling. Absolutely erases snow and icy roads in winter. comfortable on long trips. 23 mpg City, 30.5 mpg highway, very good for a 3,600 lb car with all wheel drive.
These are known to have problem with water intrusion onto and into the EFI computer due to improper reinstallation of or broken scuttle cowl. This causes loss of throttle input, message center reading DSC failure, transmission fault, & cruise not available. Easily fixed by correctly sealing the scuttle to tightly seat against the passenger side windshield with clear silicone under the scuttle. Dec 31, 2013

I bought this car when I moved into the hills and needed an AWD car for snow. It proved to be not only an excellent car in snow, but also once I got used to the AWD, a great handling car. Had great fun with it, but sold it when it was no longer being used by the family.Jan 14, 2013

I like the style, the power and its good resale value! I dislike the high end maintenance, but you get your money’s worth and it pays off in the long run! The headliner needs to be replaced more quickly than other cars (8-10 years) and the panel on the driver’s door may get a bit loose with time, other than that the car is a keeper – we are upgrading to a 2012Apr 26, 2012

This car is sexy and fast, when it runs. Have had nothing but problems with this car. Radiator leaks, had it replaced along with thermostat. The fan runs non stop, dealer can't figure out why. Doors wont open, had to crawl out window, yeah that's sexy. Cruise control wont work, DSC system fault codes, limp mode whenever it feels like. Transmission reverse clutch burned up at 79,000 miles. Gear box fault codes whenever it feels like. Sunroof wont open, trunk wont latch unless you slam it closed 3 or 4 times. It doesn't shift right on acceleration like it is missing something. HATE THIS CAR!!!!Mar 09, 2011

Its a good car. Its safe and feels sturdy. There is a bit of a throttle lag although it does not have a turbo. There is a bit of maintainence, but it is a fun car to drive and I love people watching as I drive.May 08, 2010

it's very comfortable in long trips, respectful amount of torque and horsepower for hard overtaking situations specially while carrying some load. maintenance costs a fortune and spare parts are very hard to find. it's very enjoyable on snowy roads thanks to a marvelous X drive system.Jan 12, 2010

Performance- ok
Build quality- could be better
Appearance- jaguar is the most beautiful car
Cost of ownership- too much, you feel that you live in gas station
Fun Factor- car is good to drive, 4wd is great in winter timeDec 27, 2009

We get excellent gas millage, better then the new cars today. I love the back up sensors, the safety features are great if you have children. All the windows, including the sun roof have a safety feature, if you stick anything in the window while rolling it up it will automatically go back down. It is the easiest stick shift to drive--very smooth shifting. Aug 02, 2009

Performance: Car could use some more horsepower, it'll get up and move but the power zone is more towards the middle of the gear; you won't get any real pick up until after 3K rpms. Braking is good and handling is alright.
Build quality: It acts as though the seal around the door is broke. It keeps water out but sounds loud and acts like the wind is whistling through it.
Appearance: All around it's ok, it's not gorgeous and it isn't ugly.
Cost of ownership: PAINFUL, the gas mileage is lacking....seriously lacking, then there is the fact that anytime you have to have the car looked at it's going to be over $100.
Fun factor: It's fun...if you're looking to rub it in to a friend that you have more money than they do, but if you want to beat them in a race, get something with more power cause this car is a old man's car.Dec 14, 2008

Love, style and class, totty appeal, perfromance, 4 x 4 ability. Road Handling, Response, Feedback, The Fact It's Better Than A Mondeo, Leather And Wood, Gearbox, Back Seats.
Hate, the fact you at first get classed as an old man till the girls see someone young driving it then it changes!!Oct 29, 2008

Just love it, a lot thirsty like me but I just love it,
It is very comfortable in the cabin, a great place to be
4WD so it handles like a dream has loads of grip
The car is lovely to drive, maintenance costs are high, just replaced the clutch and it cost over £1000.00, that did come as a shock but was worth it in the end.Aug 17, 2008

Why should I pay more for a car based on a Mondeo that has less room, feels more sluggish, has less responsive steering and has poorer handling? Looks alone won’t save it.May 25, 2008

I had to drive one of these on company business so take a colleague to another store for his assessment on the company training programme. Being the only company car on our site it was the only one I was legally allowed to drive for insurance purposes (can't complain at that eh?) but it was normally driven by the store manager, and at the time I drove it it was only 2 weeks old - talk about pressure!
It had nice and smooth comfortable ride, but the acceleration wasn't all that great - I think it was the base level 2.0 engine size. I didn't like the clutch either, it was very springy and took a lot of effort to press with my foot - in fact if felt more or less the same as the clutch in my old Ford Orion!
I wasn't very comfortable with parking it either, it's much bigger than anything else I've ever driven and the bonnet is huge so it's hard to make out where the front of the car is.
One thing that does stick out in my mind from my experience of driving this is the look on everyone else's faces, you could see they were thinking "how can he afford that" bearing in mind that it was only a couple of weeks old, I was only 22 years old and I was wearing a Tesco uniform! We couldn't resist taking it through the McDonalds Drive-Thru on the way back to our store though - naughty eh? lolMar 31, 2008

A great car. Good accelleration, fantastic handling, comfy ride. Looks OK on the outside and the interior finish is superb for a car of that price band. The 4x4 system is great (lots of fun in the snow). Jan 05, 2008
