...brings my nicely onto the Jaguar S-Type. I have test driven TWO S-Types now. The Standard S-Type S and the S-Type SE which has all the goodies. Both 2001 (same age as my 607) I'm shocked quite frankly. The Bog standard S-Type S The first one I drove was an utter dissapointment, I thought stepping into a Jag would be like stepping into a whole other league. Boy was I wrong. It felt like I had actually stepped into something worth nothing. The ...
...torquey (which it probabley wouldn't) as my 607 and didn't push you into your seat like my 607 does. didn't feel like the correct progression to me! The gearbox however worked flawlessly. The inside of the car, was also abismal. Sorry, but it was, no leather, cramped and no toys!! I feel sorry for the people who bought these new! Now onto my better part of the review, of the second one I test drove. The S-Type SE. This one has leather, so immediately ...

Review of Jaguar S-Type 3.0

Jagua S-Type 3.0 car or heap of troubles....?

Advantages: Looks nice, drives nice
Disadvantages: Extremely poor quality, unreliable

Unfortunately, the S type Jaguar I bought is a reason to NEVER ever again buy a Jaguar. The car sells in Australia for about 110'000 Dollars, well in the price range of a luxury car, but it is extremely poor built. I got a 2000 model and have replaced gearbox, various expensive repairs on the motor and just recently, the famous COP (Coils-on Plugs) had to be replaced. The car looks beautiful, granted but the electric window mechanisms had to be replaced ...
...over 10 K in repairs over a short period of time. Worst of all, Jaguar knows that they produce a terrible product just ignores it. I guess this will force me back to Mercedes or BMW....and I forgot to mention that the service of the Jag dealership is apalling too.... ...

Review of Jaguar S-Type 3.0

Jaguar, prestige and class? Not any more.

Advantages: Excellent Jaguar Warranty. Dealer service very good. Turns heads.
Disadvantages: NOT reliable. Poor built quality. Jaguar DO NOT return emails!!

I once owned a Jaguar X-Type and had may problems. I decided to part-ex it for an S-type. Since I purchased my S-Type I have had nothing but problems. I do not expect a car that cost £36500 new to be so poor. I have had rain water in the luggage compartment, jogging when accelerating and constant misfire. I have noticed that there are lots of Ford connector etc. in and around the car. Is Ford's intervention the problem? Trim rattles and do not ...
...the engine management light appears Jaguar are unable to identify which coil is faulty. It just cost me £401 to replace all six coils and spark plugs. Unfortunately this did not fix the problem, it made it worse.... I have been told by two Jaguar dealers that the ignition coil problem and the water ingress in the luggage compartment is very common and Jaguar are aware of it and have since took steps to sort it out with new models. Should this be ...

...need to sit too close to the steering wheel. You can also have a sat-nav with destination set by postcode. The Transmission on this car is automatic,it has a total of 240 Brake Horse Power,it takes 6.9 seconds to do 0-60mph and the interior is biege.The S-type is able to do a satisfactory speed of at least 145mph. With the sport package ,the S-Type straddles the border between “firm” and “harsh.” The car goes around corners with a certain grace ...
