bycujimmy Apr 18, 2001
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A new look Sports model from Jaguar
Cons Could have been improved more than it has.
Recommended it? Yes

~ ~ This new sports model from the British manufacturer Jaguar, the S-Type Sports, made its first public appearance at the Bologna Motor Show in Italy in December, 2000.
This is the car that Jaguar (now a Ford-owned subsidiary) hope will endear them to the more youthful buyer, and manage to... Read full review »

A car for the heart more than the head

Pros Looks, wood, leather, ride, handling
Cons Mushy transmission.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought a certified car from the dealer with the V-8 engine. It had less than 17000 miles on it, and it looked new inside and out. I have now owned it for almost a year, and I still love the way it looks, feels and handles. Buying the Jag was more like buying a work of art than like buying a... Read full review »

Pros Wonderful steering and breaking controls, and a smooth ride.
Cons It is not very roomy in the back seat
Recommended it? Yes

The Jaguar S-type is a beautiful car. It has great steering and breaking controls and is a joy to drive. The front seats all have Lombard support, which feels wonderful on your back. The safety features are also outstanding. The car is built well and it very heavy, that it can withstand many... Read full review »

Jaguar S Type, best option

byetame Aug 6, 2001
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Better than Mercedes or BMW
Cons Staring of people
Recommended it? Yes

I use to own a BMW 528, and checked the new models form BMW as well as Mercedes. Finally I decided for the S Type. The craftmanship is so good, that an armory company told me that from all the cars they had armored, this is the best craftmanship. The interior is superb, not noisy at all, very...

Best looking of the mid range luxury cars

Pros Beautiful Stlye and Class
Cons Braking
Recommended it? Yes

I feel the thing that set the Jaguar apart from the BMW 5 series and MB E-Class is it's looks. It's definetly the best looking and the drive doesn't disappoint. We test drove all 3 before deciding on the S-Type. It doesn't handle quite like the BMW but it is a more refined car. We chose the Sport... Read full review »

Not worth it, sadly

1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks great. Seats are pretty comfortable for long trips.
Cons Just about everything. Reliability, performance, handling and price.
Recommended it? No

I always liked the Jag and knew it was not a very reliable car, but the reputation for quality service was there. Not the case in my experience. I went through 2 powersteering units, a pair of ball joints, pieces falling off the undercarriage, a broken caliper etc. and I never found a decent place... Read full review »

Cloud 9 Got a New Look

Pros Feels and Drives like a dream
Cons Deviates from the Jaguar look a bit, and well... PRICE TAG!
Recommended it? Yes

Ever since Ford took over Jaguar the cars that have begun to be produced are more reliable and more luxurious than ever. The S-type is one to fit directly into that mold. It clings to the road as it drives and you feel nothing, no bumps, not even small potholes. Also the Jaguar has always... Read full review »

Pros Smooth driving and good handling
Cons eats the gas and has bad suspension
Recommended it? No

I was earlier given a job rating cars at a car dealership in my home town. They recently got a stock of the new Jaguar S-Type. I was very impressed in the overall performance of this vehicle but I realized when going over speed bumps that the suspension is a little loose. This was not really a big... Read full review »
