Bought the car new. The interior is made cheaply and has flaws. The headliner fell down after a few years and is expensive to replace. The vanity mirrors have covers that break off easily. The cigarette lighter works some of the time. The clock and radio require the manual to reset as it is not easy to remember.

This car has standard suspension and has excellent handling and braking. The interior layout is just fair. It lacks thoughtful displays a dedicated driver needs; eg, the information panels are tiny, LCD panels that cannot be read when wearing polarized lenses. The old J-gate transmission shifter needs updating. The auto on/off lights and wipers are terrific. The seats are extremely comfortable, even in back, where the seats can fold down. Unfortunately the trunk is so designed as to limit access of some larger boxes.
cant believe its a jaguar!

after 13 bmws, i made a move for the jaguar because of its standard safety features and its timeless beauty. I also opted for the V6 which i knew is a derivative of the Ford Duratec, one of the best and most reliable 6's out there. nothing has disappointed me; i got the sport package which better approximates a BMW type of ride and has bigger brakes-a plus with Florida drivers! And the ZF 6 speed automatic is superior to anything short of the 745i. Put a thousand miles on the first week of all types of road conditions with 23 MPG! So far, so great!

It is nice to be driving a car again that other people, Complete strangers, come up to you and compliment on the cars looks and color or style. I did not get that with my Mercedes and have not had it happen since I owned a Jaguar before. Twelve years and five other cars before.
What a Fabulous Vehicle

If there is a more satisfying luxury mid-sized ride in the world, I don't know what it could be. The S-Type Jaguar is the first of many fine autos I've owned that meets or exceeds all of my lofty expectations. The only negative is that my standards have now become so demanding that I suspect I can never be as happy with any other car. The fit and finish is superb and the styling is the best of any other car in its class. The only equipment improvement would be to create a more compact key remote design (it's impossible to attach other keys with the current fob). Be sure to get the Performance Package with adjustable pedals and steering etc.
