Used 2003 Jaguar S-Type Sedan Consumer Reviews
This cat purrs but doesn't roar
The best looking sedan on the road - by far. Nothing beats the style of this car, inside and out. This is my second Jag - my first a '95 XJ6 was also a dream. I wish I'd opted for the 4.0 (don't like the R, I want the chrome)- the 3.0 6 cyl lacks response in lower gears. After having driven a BMW 5 series for the last 3 years, I was used to lightning quick excitement. Still, the beauty, grace and ride quality are more than worth the trade-off in acceleration. And did I say it was the best looking car on the road? This is a head-turner - no mistaking this car for anything but a Jag. I am so sold on Jags I got an X-type for my daughter.
New to Jaguar - and Loving It!
I just leased a 2003 S-Type V8 as my new company vehicle and I'm very impressed so far. The car looks great, commands a ton of respect and goes much quicker than I would have imagined. The fuel economy is not great and I've noticed the brake dust problem as well but it sure is a heck of a lot of fun to drive!
Raves for the S type
The styling is both striking and beautiful with a reto flair that exhudes an elegance not found in other automobiles today.
lease
great car, but not happy with morning starts, car seems to miss , like an old type car with a carb. and i use top grade gas 93 and 94 oct. also this ten 10 thousand mile oil and filter change is a cock of bull. i had it changed at 4000 miles and i will have it done every 3 to 3500 miles to protect engine .
Switch to Elegance
With the reintroduction of the classic Mark II and S type look in 1999 I knew the new Jag was my car. A redesign of the interior in 2003, and I pulled the trigger and got one in British Racing Green. We are now 4000 miles into the experience with no issues. The pedals are a bit crowded and on cruise control, where are you to put your feet? Punching the accelerator at low speed winds out the rpms before shifting can happen, and a lag occurs. Otherwise, the driving experience is decidedly royal class, and heads turn constantly. This is a car to keep going for a long time. It looks fast parked, and I hate to get out at my destination!
