Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Elegantly appointed interiors, solid all-around performance, classic British styling, full load of standard safety equipment.

Cons

A few cheap interior bits, high price, fussy J-gate shifter.

What’s new

Jaguar adds adaptive cruise control to the options list, and a six-speed automatic transmission is now standard on the V6 version -- the five-speed manual remains a no-cost option.

Edmunds says

A great all-around sedan, the S-Type is truly a Jaguar in terms of style, form and function.

2004 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

I purchased my 2004 Jaguar "S" 3.0 two years ago in 2014 with eleven (11) years on the vehicle, but only 37K miles. It was a Florida car, subject to the heat, humidity and salt air of the gulf coast... surprisingly, the Jaguar had a perfect interior, despite some minor door dings, the original paint and trim was excellent. Within two months of the purchase, the "S" was driven from FL …

2004 Jaguar S-Type 4.2 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

I understand those that complain about the repairs and dealer support but this car is no different than a BMW M class or an AMG unless you have money or are willing to turn a wrench you should stick with the Jap cars, this is not a mediocre car and same as any well-above-average vehicles there is a price to owning it. Yes the Jag is nto a very forgiving car (neither are any performance …

Finally: Distinction!

2004 Jaguar S-Type 4.2 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

At last, a car with truly unique style, excellent performance and a comparably reasonable price. After 12 years lounging in the top Lexus and Benz models (looking more generic every day) I couldn't be more pleased with the 4.2. Comments from public daily. The multi-adjust cockpit seating is virtually build-to-suit ... very comfortable. Exceptionally balanced handling.

2004 Jaguar S-Type 4.2 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Contrary to a number of professional reviews,I do not find my s-type noisy at high speed and in Europe we drive considerably faster than the USA.The new 4.2 V8 works like a dream and the handling is superb.My only critisism is that there could have been a little more room in the back.
