My car looks great. I have read a lot of negative reviews about this car. I guess I'm blessed to have a one owner car that was really kept up. I just hate all the cheap plastic parts that break.

I added the factory chrome rims, and mesh upper and lower grilles. I'm glad I have an extended warranty that covers the major things for 100,000 miles.

I hope I don't have any other issues. I'm going to knock on wood.

Faults:

Replaced oil cover gaskets, coils, and spark plugs all twice.

Replaced brakes.

Transmission stuck in P on a hill.

Replaced starter.

General Comments:

In the 5 years that I've owned this car, I have spent around $6500 dollars on repairs. If this is Ford/Jaguar quality, it is not job #1.

While this car is beautiful, it is expensive to maintain. Shame on the engineers who put the mechanics of this machine together. Obviously, they had no pride, and just cut costs wherever possible.

The manufacturer of this car should get out of the business for nothing less than sheer incompetence.

Shame! Shame! Shame!

Since 2006, I have had a problem with my fuel system (do not know if it is the fuel pump or the fuel system wiring), but I had 4 fuel pumps replacement 4 times. I had the last one (fuel pump) replaced in April 2011.

Presently the vehicle is in my garage awaiting to be towed to the dealer.

I have never had the amount of problems with my 1994 Chevy Cavalier as I have with this car. I have spent more money for repair work on this car (2000 Jaguar S-Type) than I spent on any car I had own in the past. The biggest issue is the fuel system. Presently I have spent over $6000 to repair whatever the problem is with the fuel system.

General Comments:

The car looks GOOD, but it is really a money pit.

General Comments:

I had a problem with my 2000 S Type. Was having problems with getting it out of park when on an incline, then later, the car not shifting in drive position. Took it to a reliable transmission shop, OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP, and they said the transmission was fine. Just had a bad shifter control. Which only cost me about $60. Haven't had those problems since. But, I was advised that if I park on an incline, engage the parking brake before turning off the car. And when starting, put car in gear, then take off the brake. This keeps pressure off the shifter control. Hoped that helped someone from getting ripped off in the future.

Faults:

Check engine light is on. Runs rough, drops idle from 1500rpms to 1000 at the stop signs.

General Comments:

This car is not a worthless vehicle. Why are there so many problems with this car? I've only driven mines probably 4 times since I got it. I'm afraid to take it on a trip out of town.

I'm wondering what I should ask for when selling it?

Faults:

I bought this car 4 years ago from my sister who bought it new, and it had only 6000 miles on it when I purchased it.

I have replaced the passenger rear window regulator, the CD player, the radio has been shot almost from the day I bought it, and now at 54K miles, it is currently having the transmission replaced. It is a gorgeous car. But I think once the new tranny is in, I will sell it.

A 50+ thousand dollar car, even though it is close to 11 years old, it has been babied and only has 54K miles on it. I think I would rather drive a new Kia with its warranty. My son and a couple of friends have owned more than one Kia, and have never had a lick of trouble. So, watch out for the used Jags out there of the S Type. From what I am reading, looks like 50K miles is a common breaking point for the transmission. That is just garbage.

General Comments:

The car is beautiful. Gets a lot of compliments.

The styling is exceptional.

The sound system in impeccable as far as how is sounds.

The gas mileage is acceptable.

The trunk is roomy,and the back seats fold down for more storing/transporting items.
