Incredibly fun car to drive with amazing acceleration and wonderful handling. Carries four comfortably and has the classic Jaguar look. A true luxury automobile with style, power, handling, and class.

S-Type R is an incredible value

This car is just fantastic. I have owned five other Jags, and other than the Series I XKE of the 60's, this is a most amazing machine. The blend of performance and comfort if perfect. A drivers car, with room for the entire family. The transmission is excellent, and having an automatic makes it a great commuter. The effort of driving an M5 (without an automatic option) can be exhausting in heavy traffic, while on the phone, or with the kids. I love the retro and classic look of the S- Type design. This car is a gem.

Best S-Type R

I just purchased this 2004 S-Type R with only 32,214 miles in February of 2008. My previous Jag was a 2002 S-Type Sport 4.0 which I thought was one of the best cars that I have owned until I bought the R model. It handles like a sports car, rides like a luxury car and is just beautiful. The car brakes with discipline and accelerates without question. The car is classic Jaguar but with an understated look of aggression. The rims are very in-line with the overall appearance of the car. Whenever I take someone in it, they just sit there, like in a daze, speechless. Love this car.

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS EVER SINCE 18 MILES. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER 6 TIMES AND MOSTLY FOR THE SAME REASON. I HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AND HAVE BEEN AS BAD AS THE CAR GOING ONLY 15 MILES PER HOUR TOP SPEED IN 5 PM TRAFFIC TO MY HOME. I AM SURE I HAVE THE ONLY BAD APPLE IN THE BUNCH BUT I DO WANT TO LET JAGUAR BUYER TO BEWARE THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN THE R MODELS.
