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.
A great drivers car

What a beauty. I owned 3 other S- types, because I love the classic Jaguar lines. Upgrading each year is due to the engineering refinement and design enhancements. The R has the performance, power, handling, and flexibility in unique balance. Nothing feels harsh which is rare in a 400hp rocket. The Jaguar racing legacy is alive here. With the odd looking new BMW 500 series, Jag investing in R-engineering will have a promising future. I sense the E-Type racing heritage in this car, which makes it all worthwhile. And with 5 seats my family can enjoy.

This car must be the best combination of performance and luxury in a mid-size 4 door car. Despite the price tag and poor fuel economy, Jaguar helps out by covering major maintenance for the first 50k miles. By the way, city driving is a pleasure. Just don't plan on using this car for long distance family trips. My recommedation, is use your other car presuming it is an SUV. While you're at it, buy your favorite oil stocks since you'll be keeping a floor under the price of gasoline...
A great car

I have had this car for four months and love it. Performance is wonderful, and, having had a 2000 4.0 S-Type, I have never seen a car so improved. In addition, I love the fact that the car looks fantastic; it does not look fast, yet you can smoke nearly any other car on the road.
R type is the M-5 and AMG killer

Recently replaced a BMW 740i with a 2004 Jaguar S-type R. More value in the Jag S-R than BMW or M-B. Felt that I had all the benefits of the M-5 or AMG for $25K less (and also beat the prices of the 545 and E- 500). The 390 HP pulls strongly at all rev levels, but is also smooth in city driving. The chassis/tires and computer controlled suspenswion can handle all of this with aplomb. The new Jag NAV system is excellent with an easily self replaceable DVD. The advanced sound system, part of the R package, is quite good and easy to use, with voice, steering wheel, or dash controls. Gas mileage has been 16-17 mpg in town, not bad for a 400 HP rocket.
