I bought this vehicle when it had about 78,000 miles on it, it was in great shape and taken care of really well by it's 2 previous owners. It was and is an extremely smooth ride, and also a quiet one, there's not a ton of outside noise coming in from the outside. It's also very comfortable in the back seats from what I've been told by passengers. I've driven it across country and performed well through some steep slopes in Kansas and Colorado, and also in the snow before it got ridiculous and even pickups and SUV's were sliding.
Story
Well I was driving through Missouri and as I was passing a Mack truck the driver tried to switch in to my lane and ran me off the highway. I was doing about 55 when I actually went into the median strip, the car handled beautifully and probably saved me a trip to the hospital. This definitely falls into the memorable category, no fun at all.
Pros
The look of this car is great, mine is white with the stock rims on it and it's a good white. Some white cars look real dirty easily, this one doesn't. This car doesn't look like it needs to be washed until it needs to be washed. It comes with a pretty good sound system, a very good alarm system, and a valet key. There's also plenty of leg room for all passengers in the car, front or back seat. I'm also a huge fan of moon roofs and my car has one. I also like the compass on the rear view mirror. I also get good gas mileage.
Cons
There isn't much negative to say about this car. I was hoping the trunk would have more space than it does, it looks bigger than it is before you open it and try to put things inside. It's not a tiny trunk by any means but it's actual size was somewhat disappointing. It has an old tape deck and no cd player which is by far the worst thing I've had to deal with. I still haven't gotten that replaced but it's more of a personal annoyance than a problem. Upkeep can be expensive sometimes, but that's usually the price you pay for any nice car, especially a foreign one.

2001 Jaguar S-Type - It is a beautiful car.

I like the way the car looks, handles, and drives. The color is unusual and a bit flashy, so that it stands out in a crowd. The leather interior is amazingly beautiful, as well as the dash.
Story
I drove this car 2000 miles to move to another state, with many of my belongings inside. When I arrived, folks were amazed to see how much would fit into the back seat and trunk of this car.
Pros
The handling and performance is excellent. The turn radius is amazing. The style is beautiful. The gaps is a plus. The rear seat is roomy enough to seat adults comfortably. I like the jaguar emblem on the front hood. The car is fast. It is easy and comfortable to drive. It is a fun car to drive and gets a lot of complements.
Cons
It is expensive to repair. It requires the more expensive higher octane gasoline. The trunk is a little small. The bumper is a little lower than I would like. The side mirrors are a little small. The battery is under the trunk, and a little inconvenient to get to.
