Jaguar 2002, reliability, comfort, and problems.

Reliability its really nice, has good gas mileage and it a really relaxable car for like 2 people and a baby, but it's not the type of car you want to stick like 5 people in because the back seats will be a little cramped and because it's a little older I've been having problems with the speedometer, but other than that it's a really nice, really good car.

Cost a lot to own when something breaks.

It is a great get is from point A to point B. No problems so far. Take the most expensive gas lol however we love it.

James R

Good looking and fun to drive. Love the jag on the hood.

It is fun to drive and has a lot of power. Uses a lot of gas but is worth every penny. It has some funny little electrical issues on occasion that are not cheap to fix.

Dave

Classy Ride

No issues whatsoever. AWD is winter great. Looks great. Smells nice with real leather. There cheap to buy used. Love it!

Fred

Fun to drive.

Handles great. Cheap to keep. Ford owned jaguar then and it's realy on a Ford Contour platform underneath. They say it needs gas. In not true. Regular works fine. Don't get service at the Jaguar Dealership. C T C is fine. They know exactly how to look after Her. You,ll aways be glad u own one. Classy. Enjoy.

I love my Jaguar: a picture of reliability and comfort!

I really love my Jaguar. I have owned it for over a year now and we only had one problem with a belt breaking right after we purchased it used. It has been reliable in the snow and cold as well as the heat. I've driven it on icy roads and it has handled well! The interior is beautiful and is very comfortable and provides all of the comforts! I love my Jag and would definitely still purchase it again!

Working on your vehicle. Love my jaguar, was cheaper than.

Vehicle has 167000 miles so it may not last much longer. Problems I have had is, the water pump went out. I thought major cost. But found that rockauto had parts that was not arm and leg. Got pump and gasket for 26. 00. Watched a youtube video on how to change the water pump on a 2002 jag. Followed directions and I had it done in 45 min. Other than that have not a lot of problems. Change oil every 3000 miles, wash it, and it keeps on trucking.

Not mechanically dependable. Problems may occur at early age.

With just 38,000 miles on it, had transmission failure while on freeway. Caused engine failure. Needed new transmission and new engine. Good thing I had extended insurance. Otherwise would have had to trash car.
