I'm a new X-type owner (2002) , and I did a lot of research ahead of time before finally buying one. The major downfalls seem to be 1) automatic transmission, 2) 2.5 engine. And a general sense that later model years were better than earlier model years. What I got was the 3.0 sport with a manual transmission. I'm pretty satisfied (I think the previous owner was mistreating it.) They were getting 18 mpg, I'm getting 26. They had under inflated tires, which may have contributed to their poor fuel economy. On the other paw, with the gearing of the manual, it would be very easy to get the lower fuel economy. This thing really is geared for sport, not economy mode.
I'm still investigating my choices for a stereo upgrade (I've got the lowest possible model there.)
So, check the FAQs in this forum, it will talk about the issues.

As stated Quandry.................check the FAQthread in the X type section.
Generally though, by the time the 04 model came out most of the quirks / issues with the previous models had been resolved, so if its been looked after and has any extended warranty, you could be onto a winner
