Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) 2.7d V6 4d Auto Owner Review

The styling is better than retro or classic, it's eternally beautiful. People who complain about the small trunk (it's plenty large for me) due to the boat tail shape should consider one of the contemporary designs which seen from behind look like an oversize coffin due to the competition to advertise more trunk space. The interior is not the absolute top of the line yet it's quality leather (seats only), wood panel dashboard, looks like cherry wood. Very quiet ride, surefooted yet comfortable. Ground clearance is very low, I guess this is how you get surefooted and tight handling on a twisting mountain road at high speed. I have scraped the belly on a bumpy stretch several times, the car has protective panels underneath which serve well on such occasion. The sound system is the best I have heard in home stereo, headphones, etc. My son wanted more base but he's 18 and would only be satisfied by something that sounds like an earthquake from 3 miles away. The climate control is powerful and precise with well appointed outlets front and rear, it brings the interior to desired temperature in less than a minute. In summary, this car is very carefully thought out designed and well made. If it blows up on me tomorrow I would still love it and be looking to buy another.
