2001 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 V6
Summary:
Worst car I ever had..
Faults:
Front electric window motor broke after 1 week.
Front wheel default after 6 months.
Rain detector broke after 1 year.
Driver seat broke after 2 years.
Jaguar Cars Europe took 4 months (!!!) to provide spare parts.
General Comments:
Supposed to be a luxury car... Well, powerful engine for sure, nice interior, but reliability is a shame for the price.
- Service is awfully expensive.
- Rain detector is not efficient.
- Electrochromic mirrors are not satisfying.
- Heating / Clim takes hours to work.
- Steering is much too sensible.
Handling is a nightmare, this car is DANGEROUS on wet / snowy roads.
I damaged the trunk, and during 4 month (!!!) I stayed without a replacement car, hearing only from Jaguar France "Sorry, part not available yet, we'll keep you in touch... We cannot provide you any courtesy car. Please consider renting any".
4 month without a car... I almost lost my job after paying SOOO much for purchase and service.
I will NEVER buy this crappy brand again, and I'm considering law procedures against them.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
