2004 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 Road Test
While it's not quite a Jaguar for the working man, the 2004 X-Type is the most affordable car the British automaker has ever produced. Priced in the mid-$40s, the X-Type is all Jaguar, which is, unlike a decade or so ago, a good thing. Ford's purchase of the legendary marque a decade and a half ago not only helped stem the massive bleeding the U.K. firm was experiencing thanks to an unfortunately well-earned reputation for producing unreliable cars, but the U.S. manufacturer also brought some much needed vision to what had become a stagnant line of large sedans.
