    ~ ~ I dropped into the local Jag dealer recently to have a look at the new X-Type that has just been launched here in Ireland. Disappointment for the mad cabbie; none in stock. (all sold!!) But never having been known as a fella to waste an opportunity, I instead got my hands on another little sporty number that was sitting on the forecourt, the revised model S-Type Sports. ~ ~ This new sports model from the British manufacturer Jaguar made its first public appearance at the Bologna Motor Show in Italy in December, 2000. This is the car that Jaguar (now a Ford-owned subsidiary) hope will ... more

    2 Stars Jaguar - Ford, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???? 20/07/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice Boot Size. Good Looks.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Build Quality, Ride Quality, Comfort

    OK, Hello Everyone! I'm looking to replace my 607. I have to tell you why. Basically I bought a Friday car from a dodgey forecourt and I just would like to sell it (now that all the problems have been sorted! as it just doesn't feel like MY car any more) If I had the money, I'd go out and buy a Petrol 607 (mine is a Diesel) all day long. I can't afford it, so I have started looking at petrol alternatives from other brands. Which 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 ... more

    5 Stars My life with the 'S' type 05/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not as quiet as I had expected

    I have owned my 3litre auto 'S' type since June 1999 and have covered over 40,000 miles. The car was supplied with most of the possible accessories (except satellite nav - far too expensive, and CAT suspension). The car was an early production model so (I suspect) suffered from some extra problems. Excessive road noise was cured by the fitting of a 'German Autobahn' sound deadening kit (free of charge) and made quite a difference. Service costs have been kept to the Jaguar guarantee of £150 + vat (every 10,000). Fuel consumption on high speed motorway journeys can top 30mpg, but 26mpg is the ... more

    5 Stars What a car 11/05/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Speed, comfort, style, class

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None to think of

    Well first of all you are probably thinking how on earth does a 22 year old female get to drive a very fast 3.0litre S-type Jaguar? Well its not mine and its my dads. But I get to drive it! Bonus! Out of all the cars I have driven over the last 5 years, which is quite a few! This is the best. It is a dream drive, handles well, takes corners well even at high speeds. Yes it should be for the amount of money you have to pay for it, but not everything is this high quality. Everything is well made and thought out, from the engine to the paint work The drive is smooth, you cant hear the engine, the ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks, comfort, agility

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Speed

    Having seen many other cars in this sector I finally took the plunge and looked at the Jaguar S-Type. This model is easily the best S-Type that Jaguar make, this is because of many things. The gearbox is very slick and easy to use, the road holding is superb, the interior makes you feel very special, it is a very typical Jaguar. If there is such a thing as a typical Jaguar. If I have 1 gripe it is the acceleration, it could be that little bit better, but they do make 4.0 litre version if speed is your thing. Over all this car is a superb creation from the men at Castle Bromwich and a delite to ... more

    2 Stars Jaguar, prestige and class? Not any more. 11/08/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent Jaguar Warranty. Dealer service very good. Turns heads.

    Disadvantages 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 fit correctly. I am told that the jogging and misfire is a faulty ignition coil, but unless the engine management light appears Jaguar are unable to ... more

    5 Stars Great car 24/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages engine

    Disadvantages Disadvantages interior

    The Jaguar S-Type is a sound entry into the luxury car market. The 3.0 V6 is smooth refined and if worked hard extremely powerful. Handling is good for a car in this class but lacks some feel. It can also be tricky to place the S-Type on the road at first but it soon becomes a distant problem. My one major complaint is the interior of which is only average. In my eyes the warm luxury cosseted feel of the XJ and XK models cannot be beaten. Whilst I got out of the car feeling it could be improved in some areas I still got out wanting one because whilst the car is not perfect as an ownership ... more

    5 Stars Take a trip back in time 11/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good looking, reliable, forward looking for an old car

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Why oh why Have jaguar named this not-oustanding example of a posh Rover 75 an "S-type"? It's just wrong. Jaguar made the original S type back in the 60s, and the "new S type" is nothing by comparision. It's a bit like the "new" Beatle, or the mini, it looks vaguely like the original (although I don't know why Jaguar called this one the S-type as firstly, it looks more like a Mark II, and secondly, the Mark II was certainly more popular being better proportioned with a shorter boot), but actually doesn't give you the raw, retro feel of the originals. I wish car manufacturers would stop doing ... more

    Advantages Advantages Everything about it

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The price

    Say Ooh Aah Jaguar Say Ooh Aah Jaguar! What can I say except OH BABY WHAT A CAR!!! And I'm a girly girlie, so that's really saying something. You just need to look at it, cuz everything about this car is damn special. It has special CATS suspension so it glides along like a dream and you don't even notice you're moving. It has luxurious leather seats (Mmmmmmm....) with seat warmers (lets face it, if you live in England then you need them). It comes in virtually any colour you could possibly desire, with the exception of pink, but if you ask very nicely (and pay the people plenty) they'll paint ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Jaguar S-Type 3.0 by smccul 22/08/2007
    had my s-type 3.0 se for two and a half years now with no major faults. It was bought second hand and was one owner with full history. main dealer service chargers are way over the top but the beauty is there are many specialists keeping costs down. 29mpg on a run and 24 with my 16 foot caravan on is pretty good in my opinion. I would buy another but while this is running as good as it is I will keep her.what other car offers this level of comfort at what are now bargain prices. my car has the ... more
