Standard all-wheel drive and a V6 engine for around $35,000 are good deals in this field
Kelley Blue Book

The 2008 Jaguar X-Type comes standard with plenty of goodies, but offers extras to tempt those with a weakness for luxury and gadgets.

According to Kelley Blue Book, the standard features new to the 2008 Jaguar X-Type include "a tire pressure monitoring system, ten-way power seats, memory driver's seat, rain-sensing wipers, electrochromic rearview mirror, automatic headlights and a trip computer." Other standard features offered on the Jaguar X-Type are four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated power mirrors, "power moonroof, 120-watt AM/FM stereo with CD, ... leather seats, tilt/telescopic steering wheel and 16-inch cast-alloy wheels."

Satellite radio is a $450 option also available on both the sedan and Sportwagon models, allowing the driver to enjoy their favorite stations wherever they take their 2008 Jaguar. At $2,300, the optional navigation system probably isn't the best value out there, but it works fairly well.

Conclusion

With good standard features and optional prestige-adding packages, the 2008 Jaguar X-Type is dressed to impress.

Other Choices:

European brands all offer wagons in this market niche, and save for the new Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen, they provide four-wheel-drive versions of their wagons, as well as V-6 power. The Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is considerably cheaper than the others in this group, but it also brings a diesel engine option to the party for the 2009 model year.
