Jaguar S-Type 3.0 V6 SE 4d Auto (99) (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Saved a lot by buying second hand.
Costs
I get about 23miles to the gallon, I will also be having the servicing done by an independant specialist which will save approx £100.

On the road
Driving
Easy to drive, quiet and plenty of power when needed.
Performance
Smooth, quiet driving, but plenty of power in kickdown mode.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Had a cracked expansion resevoir and leaking brake fluid resevoir which were both replaced under dealer warranty.
Image
Lots of people admire the car. I have never had so many people come up and ask about a car that I have owned.
Comfort
Comfy seats and all the toys you need. Better leg room in the back than XJs.

Security and Service
Security
So far no problems.
Service
Once the dealer had sold me the car it was hard to get them to rectify the faults I found, I did expect better from a Jaguar dealer. Also labour costs are very high compared with independant specialists.
