Jaguar Owners?
 

I would assume we've got a couple here. I just bought a 2005 S-Type 3.0. I'm really liking this. It's my first Jag. The exterior styling and the interior are really what sold me. Not a performance vehicle exactly, but still very nice road manners and corners fairly flat.

Here's a few pics

The Jag forum that I joined had this video posted that I thought was pretty funny, too.

I have a 1998 XJR. I've been very happy with it. The S type has gotten good reviews over the years. It's based on the Lincoln LS.:thumbs:

had a 2002 x type a few years back. I like the interior a lot. Didn't end up having any engine trouble with it but then again I only kept it like a year as it was very very underpowered. I've always like the s type.

I have owned an 01 xjr, 02 s-type (3.0), and 05 xjr. All three were very reliable and their quality were top notch.

To be honest, it is only my opinion but the S-type's rear styling got "commonized," and the suspension/transmission tuning got much less performance oriented after the middle of the model "improvements." I think McCallum tried to make it appeal more to the masses when he made the design changes.:toetap:

Jags have always been known to have luxurious and supple rides, and yet still have that magical sporty feel when pushed. My 02 had just that. Later on whenever I brought my 05 xjr in for service and had later year s-types as loaners, everything felt really wrong. :(

Drive an earlier MY s-type (2000-2003) and you will know what I mean.

Nevertheless, Jags are still some of the prettiest and most elegant cars out there.:cheers:

I have an '05 XK8 and so far it has been a very nice car with no issues. It's certainly not a vette when you hit the curves, but it's a super smooth and quiet highway car!
