Faults:

Nothing unusual; oil change, spark plugs, air filter, cabin filter. In a few words, regular maintenance.

General Comments:

Really great car. I love it. Everywhere I go, I have people looking at it. I enjoy the driving and the comfort, and I'm not a mechanic, and I do all the car maintenance. It's a Jag; luxury, comfort and style.

It's normal to expect a high cost of labor and parts; I buy parts online and work on the car myself, and it's not expensive. Love it.

Faults:

Door locks x 2.

Transmission fault x 1.

General Comments:

I love this car's style and comfort.

Very reliable, and averages 27 mpg.

Spent less than £1000.00 on servicing and parts in the last eight years. NEVER been to Jaguar for service. Transmission just rebuilt by local company £950.00.

Never had problems with windows, door pillars.

I do not nurture this car. Had it up to 130mph; just wind noise and more to go.

Looking at the forum, I guess I have been lucky. I will run it until it falls apart. Just can't find anything else. Like the new XF, but the style of the S is better..

Faults:

All four window regulators replaced.

Air flow meter replaced.

Engine coil replaced.

Trunk leaked rain water.

Coolant overflow tank replaced.

Engine thermostat replaced.

Engine cooling fan control replaced.

Steering wheel column bearing replaced.

O2 sensor replaced.

General Comments:

The performance of the 4.0 S-Type is super and it is a pleasure and thrill to drive.

The gas mileage is much better than I expected getting as much as 27.6 MPG on a 200 mile thip at 70-80 MPH country roads and some in town.

My complaint is the trips to the dealer. Too many problems, one required towing. I bought extended warranty, and I have never done that before.

Faults:

The car skidded on wet road surface during turning at about 80km/h and collided with the curb. Result: cd$6,000 in repairs.

General Comments:

Impressive voice-control technology. Powerful acceleration. Just don't let the computer traction control fool you into thinking that the car can corner at very high speeds; it won't.

Faults:

Microchip on drivers doorlock intermitently faulty, rectified quickly and efficiently by dealer.

General Comments:

A fabulous car, I have owned and driven many different car's but the S Type turns heads like no other executive saloon I've been in before! Performance is good and I love it. I would recommend the Jaguar experience to anyone (The dealers are extremely helpful too!)
