The S-Type Jaguar is a sleek, beautiful vehicle. The ride is smooth and airy. If you hit the Sport Mode button on the dash and step on it, you'll think you're on the track at Indy. It has a very powerful feel to it. The interior is luxurious with soft, supple leather seats and burled walnut and leather dash. I Love it.
Story
We had just bought the Jag and went to Florida for our yearly vacation. Our ten yr. old daughter was oohing and aahing in the back seat. We thought she was impressed about all the stuff going on in Orlando. We asked her what she was so impressed about and she said, "I just love this car so much, I feel like I'm riding in a Limo." She made her daddy promise to paint it pink and give it to her f... (more)
Pros
The exterior of the car has sleek, classical lines. It just looks beautiful. The jaguar on the hood and the classic grill give it an elegant appearance. The interior is comfortable and roomy. The back seat can accommodate a mid sized adult. It has memory seats with two settings, so we don't have to adjust it every time we switch drivers. There is plenty of room for the kids to have their own space when we go on a trip. The gas mileage is pretty good, (if you keep your finger away from the Sport button), at over 30 MPG.
Cons
The leather on the dash cracked. You really need to use a sun shield, (the 1st owner probably didn't). We had to change the lug nuts to one piece replacements. The originals are two part and if your not very careful they will strip out. Mechanics are hard to come by if you live in a rural area. Even things that would seem simple, like wheel bearings, seem to scare off your average domestic mechanic.

It was beautiful and ran well until engine problems started and could not be fixed - the car itself was elegant.
Story
It was fun just to run around the suburbs in - it was not the typical minivan type vehicle!
Pros
The steering wheel and cabin were attractive and very nice, the body and performance were exceptional.
Cons
The price, then the price of repairs, which then became the car, could not be repaired - no one knew what was wrong. It would run one day and not the next.
