We have had this car since 2003 and at that time it was 2 years old. It is now 2017 and my wife still loves this car. She says it is like a fine wine which just gets better with age. It now has 178,000 miles and still drives like a charm. This has been the best investment we made since building our dream home. Thanks for the chance to share.

Beautiful appearance, excellent handling and classy. Sure beats driving a Sedan DeVille!
Very Disappointed

We had hoped that Jaguar had improved its reliability, but apparently not. We bought our S-type with 36,000 miles, and within two months the transmission went out (Jaguar said it needed to be replaced with a rebuilt for $7K; we had it fixed elsewhere for $3.8K, but still, ouch). The windshield washer pump also failed ($500), a rattle in the dash has cropped up, the AM radio can't hold a station (how hard is it to make an AM radio work?), and there is an intermittent warning light just comes on and off randomly. We love the way this car handles and looks, but can't wait to get rid of it.

The Jaguar S-Type has treated me well the past 5 years I have owned it. However, minor technical problems do come up now and then. It's a good idea to get the extended warranty after end. Acceleration is not on par with MB, but handling is superb. The styling is more appealing than most. Interior quality is excellent, and even better with the 03 Revised models. The 19/24 fuel economy is just average. The car definately is a head turner, but it is quickly silenced with electrical headaches. I do suggest this car as long as it is an 03 or newer model. I plan to try trade it in for jaguars new XK. Overall, this car has met my demands and I can reccomend it.
Jaguar is everthing I hoped for

Bought the Sapphire blue 4.0 version. Had it since May 2003. Great car! I always wondered why a luxury car would cost so much more than a regular sedan. Now I know. Comfort, solid build, and power. So far I havn't had one little problem with it. I just love driving it.
