There are few cars more distinctive than the Jaguar S-Type. It is styled with the elegance and grace of a classic Jaguar and is notable for its famous grille and raked bonnet. The Jaguar S-Type was introduced at a motor show in 1998 as a mid-size luxury executive car though it did not enter the British market until the 2000 model year. There was a previous version of the S-Type introduced in 1963, which ran until the introduction of the Jaguar XJ6 in 1968. Today, with its flowing lines and sleek shape, the Jaguar S-Type is as much about looks as performance though it maintains that classic Jaguar pedigree.

Donna Tucker, Hertfordshire

Jaguar S-Type 2000

Can anyone help me, my car was sitting for a long time and when I started it there was hardly any fuel in the tank so I filled it up but since it seems to be missing or not running on all cylinders - could it be the air filter filled or clogged up with with what was at the bottom off the fuel tank?

Jaguar S-Type 2.7 diesel 2006

An excellent finished car no problems with that, but should such a quality car suffer from engine problems? I like many others have experienced smoke and bad odours from the engine - caused I am told by the PDF, which was replaced. Then car went into ’safe mode’ again due to PDF. Anyone else experiencing these problems ? All reports say this is an A1 engine!

Jaguar S-Type 2005

I thought the jaguar "S" was really good until I had problems with the gear box. Jaguar said they had heard of such problems when the car was changing down but an additive added would cure it. This I refused as the car was still under warranty and they wanted £150 to do the work. Eventually the car was fitted with a NEW GEAR BOX, which makes me wonder how long the additive would have lasted, the car had only done 27,000 miles. Has any one else had this problem? I still must thank my local Jaguar dealer for contacting Jaguar and having the fault correctly put right at no cost to me.

Jaguar S-Type 2.7d Sport 2007

Superb cruiser, great looks and really comfortable ride. Not as economical as I expected but 38mpg on a decent run is not bad. My previous BMW 530i was quicker but overall the Jag is the better car. Only downside is the heavy ticking and occasional odour omitting from the exhaust system after a run, which the dealer tells me is ’completely normal’.

Jaguar S-Type 3 litre v6 1999

I have had my v6 for a number of years and it`s still the best think since sliced bread. Comfort and elegance all rolled into one. Would love to own a 4.2 v8 next time I change mine.

Jaguar S-Type 2.7 Diesel auto 2004

Just the best car I’ve ever owned in terms of drive, response, take off, brakes and of course in looks. My Jaguar ALWAYS brings a smile to my face as I drive it and you can feel the envy off other motorists and pedestrians too! A super car to own in every respect.

Jaguar S-Type 2.7 litre diesel 2004

The 2.7 diesel engine is smooth with plenty of torque. I’ve had the S-Type for over 3 years now and have never had so much fun in a car. It’s at its best when cruising along motorways. I chose a Jaguar over its German rival, the BMW 5-Series, for two reasons. 1 - it’s British. 2 - it’s a far better looking car. The standard equipment is very good with a CD player, alloys and climate control. Do not expect great fuel economy from this Jag, you simply will not get it - if you want budget motoring then look elsewhere.

Jaguar S-Type 4.2SE 2003

Class, Class, Class, Class. My 4.2 is a fantastic, effortless engine with wonderful build quality and distinctive design. BMW and Mercedes-Benz should look on with envy. I walk towards it and smile; I know it’s a beautiful place to be... power beauty and soul.

Jaguar S-Type 2.7d sport 2005

Really lovely car, genuinely feel good when driving, I too prefer its looks to the XF. The 5 series BMW `ordinary` in comparison to drive

Jaguar S-Type 2.7d Auto SE 2007

I had the X type 2.2 D Sport before part exchanging it for a 57 plate S type 2.7d Auto SE. The car is superb, silky smooth and quiet, 35.8 miles to the gallon. I prefer the S type to the new XF but then I’m an old geezer!

Jaguar S-Type 2.7 Diesel 2004

This car is the best I have ever owned. It looks like nothing else on the road and beats the BMW for comfort. This diesel is the most refined I have driven, and the gear changes are silky smooth.

An absolutely classy car. Nothing drives like it or gives you that level of refinement and quality.
