This vehicle is well designed and I consider it a luxury car. It responds very favorably during automatic shifting of gears and handling ability. The vehicle is very accessible and provides excellent comfort. It has a very smooth ride.

This car is beautiful, the dealership is great, and the ride and performance is fantastic. It just isn't very reliable and has poor quality. A great ownership experience is spoiled by frequent visits for warranty work. Coolant and oil leaks; seat control problems/replacements; window motor, transmission, dash board and glovebox replacements, trunk leaks and other issues. With only 41,000 miles during my 3 year ownership. Inquiries directly to Jaguar were met with representatives who had no interest and no care about my issues. I have been so dissatisfied with a $50,000 Jaguar's quality, but loved my $13,000 Saturn with nearly no quality issues.

I feel sick just thinking about my cat, I've had nothing but trouble ever since I got it. The first month I got it I had to get the transmission fixed and now the car goes off when i get a red light. I like the leather seats and how the car looks inside and out. Don't get this car if you want a good everyday car.

We bought our pampered car off lease. We did have a problem within a month or so of owning the car (transmission problems), but the dealership quickly resolved the problem and we continue to have a smile on our face each time we drive it. It is silk on wheels. It looks great, is quiet and solid inside and has excellent road manners. It is one of the best values in a luxury class. Im surprised there arent more sold because this car is a better ride, with greater performance than most in its price range.

Still happy with s-type. Ran into one problem that I had a hard time fixing. The firing that distributes coolent had to be replaced, the original is done kind of plastic, replaced it with a metal part. The bolts holding the tower were extremely difficult to remove and tighten. Finally was successful after buying a gear wrench. Mom had to learn to use cruise control because this car is a performance vehicle. Quiet, smooth ride even at high speeds. Only a minority of parts are difficult to get. I have found it easy to work on. Use the right tools. I have had to replace spark plug wires, air sensor, rotors and pads. This vehicle set in a garage for @4 years (owner had health issues) with no driving only being started occasionally. If buying an s type be sure of the transmission. The car is a joy to drive. It truly is a performance luxury vehicle.
