Used 2004 Jaguar S-Type Consumer Reviews
Love My JAG
This is my second S-Type. Had a 2001 and opted to end that lease early and get a new 2004. The styling of the car is the nicest on the road and the improvement of the 04 over the 01 are amazing. I loved the 01 but my wife didnt want to end the lease early to get into the 04....and then she drove it..and wow...we have trouble keeping it under 70 on the open road..handling wonderfully.....love the new dash/console over the 01 model
My 6th Jag
Vehicle very responsive and comfortable.We are short and it fits us perfectly. Head room s better than previous models for our taller friends.The best most responsive of all the Jags we have owned. Has a real sports feel. Mileage on the road exceeded the stiker mileage.
Love/hate relationship
I and everyone else who rides in the car love the styling, inside and out. It is very comfortable and cruises great on any highway - smooth, fast, quiet, and 30+ mpg. My spouse really loves it in every way. But I pay the maintenance and repairs!! And at 30000 miles it has had a lot of repairs - radio (several times), transmission, heater valve, upper radiator hose, trunk, front wheel well, etc. We have 5 vehicles and drive a lot of miles a year 85,000+. I love to drive this car - it is my favorite, but the repairs are very disappointing.
Even Better Than I Thought
I've had my 04 S-Type for a week now and couldn't be happier. The V8 engine is quiet, yet very powerful. The car rides smooth, I don't feel every bump in the road, even with 18 inch rims on the car. A testiment to the suspension. The interior is very well thought out, a monster upgrade from the 02 model. People notice this car, so be prepared to get lots of attention in it. As for negatives, the upgraded Alpine system is good, but nowhere near the Bose systems found in many luxury cars. Also, ALL of the front speakers are in the doors, the system needs some tweeters on the dash for a more complete sound in the front of the car.
The Perfect "Kitty"
I am smiling because I just took delivery of my new cat! I hope I am not disapointed down the road but for now I am HAPPY.
