Jaguar S-Type (99-07) - Review Review by David Ross on 03 February 2009 It may not have a German badge on the bonnet, but the S-Type has plenty of strong qualities that make it a realistic alternative to models like the Mercedes E-Class. The rather dated image isn't one of them unfortunately and while it draws upon classic Jag styling cues to help set it apart, the S-Type is unlikely to appeal to younger drivers. There is a thunderous R version, powered by a supercharged V8 engine, but the Jaguar's real strength is long distance comfort. It's superbly refined and the ride quality is excellent, while it also handles sharply. The styling received a reworking in 2004 and the excellent V6 diesel engine was introduced. 3.5 out of 5 Other Jaguar reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Buying used Very early models can be problematic so tread with caution and check the paperwork for signs of recurring problems. Newer cars are better developed while the 2.7 V6 is ideal if you intend to cover high mileages.

The high performance R version is sought after by enthusiasts and will command a decent premium. Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
