Only for those who are interested in spoiling themselves. Drives and handles like a dream, this is a smooth car in every respect. Never harsh, never out of control, it drives like it is an extension of yourself.
Performance, Luxury and Smiles!

In January 2005, I purchased a new fully loaded S-type R to go with my 2003 XKR convertible. I added to both cars a custom Mina chromed high performance exhaust, AEM cool air intake and a smaller supercharger pully. This increased the H.P to over 450 and the total cost was less than $1200.00. Custom made sheep skins were added for extra ride comfort and what a truly great high performance, luxury experience these cars are to drive. My wife and I can hardly wait to drive these cars and when we go out together, we flip a coin to see who gets to drive. Other than regular oil changes and recommended Jaguar maintenance, neither car has ever had one thing wrong with it. We will always buy Jaguars.
Incredible Car and a Great Value

Absolutely love this car! Off the line performance put to shame my old 2001 996. Add 25 more HP, more aggressive differential and transmission gearing and you have the equivalent performance of BMW M and MB AMG at tens of thousands of dollars in savings. Ride is great and styling to die for...I get more walk-ups and comments on the Jag than the 911. The R is a rarety even in San Diego and people notice.

This car is very fast. I expected the ride to be very firm, but I have been pleasantly surprised by how well it rides and handles. Jaguar has done an excellent job. The car is stylish, yet when you put your foot into it... wow.
Love the R

Beautiful car. Has the perfect balance of power, handling and ride -- where others in this class miss the mark, or overcorrect. The back end, down by the exhaust is a negative design move. I actually feel the first 2 years of this model (03-04) is a more aggressive look (despite what many of the published reviews say). I miss the built-in fog lights upfront, and the wheels look less sporty than before.
