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.
Fun car

This car is a joy to drive especally with the adaptive cruise control andnavigation. It makes taking a trip easy. The car is not perfect and could be improved quite a bit with just a few changes like better drink holders and adding heated steering wheel like mom's XJ8L. Still the car is well equipped. The car handles very well and most times I prefer to take it over the wife's Boxster . While the Boxster is a true sports car the S is very close to as good handling and has better acceleration plus more room. One caution with the standard tires forget even going to get winter tires if the roads have any ice or snow.
