2003 Jaguar S-Type Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by henry32771

Exterior styling

Classic Jaguar Styling reminiscent of the original 1967 Jaguar S-type. The S-type embodies the curvy, sensual Jaguar look

Interior styling

I like the revised dash on the 2003 and up S-type. It looks a lot more like the older Jags than the 2002 models.

Powertrain performance

Smooth, quiet power delivery with ample acceleration and, surprisingly fuel economy.

Handling

The wheels stay firmly planted to the ground and the RWD set up helps the steering responsiveness.

Ride smoothness

The Jaguar S-type is the smoothest riding vehicle I have ever driven. Absorbs all bumps without drama.

Reliability & durability

Jaguar has a spotty reputation for reliablility, although I have heard that the 2003+ years are better.

Depreciation

I like the fact that the S-type depreciated enough for me to afford it! It may not hold its value long term, though.
