Jaguar's X-Type holds its own in the extremely competitive compact luxury car market. It stacks up nicely by virtually any measure, from design to style to space to performance. If it gives up a tick to class leaders in specific areas, it compensates with Jaguar elegance. With standard all-wheel drive and a full palette of standard features, it delivers more for the money than many competitors in objective terms.It comes to this: If you've always lusted after a Jaguar's feline mystery and thought that some day you should own one, but can't afford one of the pricier models, then "some day" may have arrived. Pricing for the 2004 Jaguar X-Type pricing has pulled that day in like a zoom lens. When you try one on be sure to search out some plate glass windows to mirror your passing, and to reflect on the sweet growl of that V6 engine.
