Optimized thread titile for Search Engine Optimization. I haven't had problems and I know there is an X-Type Appreciation thread, but I fear that won't be found by the Google search algorithym when indexed and queried.

2005 3.0 manual with 85K miles. Bought 2 1/2 years ago with 42K on her. No issues other than prop shaft which was covered while still under warranty. Runs smooth as silk. Very stable in snow with the DSC. Great car for what I paid. I really think if you do your homework and buy smartly these cars can be an absolute bargain. My brother has a 2007 Audi A4 and I wouldn't consider a trade straight up. Hell, he can't even get a single set of golf clubs in his trunk without lowering one of the rear seat backs.

I had my 02 X type for a year or so amd got her with low mileage.
Had a few of the very minor and known issues bot in all honesty it waas a great car to drive and I ALWAYS got loads of compliments on her.
Prewtty trouble free motoring for me really, but then I did my research and looked after her as I do all my vehicles!

Nice thread exexpat. There should be more posts on how much people like their X or good experiences they have had.
No problems with my 2002 2.5 sport. As a matter of fact I've had a very good overall experience. The very few times I've had her to the dealer they did a great job with extraordinary customer service. The car is actually, in my opinion, pretty easy to work on which allows me to do 98% of the work myself. Im happy with my X overall.
Now I just have to save my pennies so I can get the XJ.

I’m on my second X-type (first one was 2002 2.5 auto - owned it for about 3 years only problem was thermostat had to be replaced). So far my 04 3.0 Sport with a Manual trans has been great. When I bought it there was a loud noise when starting the car. Had the dealer replace the starter, but besides that it is one of the best cars I have owned. No complaints here. Will post some pictures soon.
