Overview & Reviews

The S-Type gets minor styling revisions in the form of smaller taillights, a tighter-looking deck lid and a restyled front fascia. New exterior panels have tighter fits, while the hood is now made of aluminum. Interior upgrades include new Bronze Madrona trim, a revised instrument panel and an optional aluminum trim package. Eight-cylinder models get a new VDP package that adds premium heated leather seats, burled walnut trim and unique 17-inch alloy wheels.

• Elegantly appointed interiors, solid all-around performance, classic British styling, full load of standard safety equipment.

• A few cheap interior bits, high price, fussy J-gate shifter.

  Class of the road - 2005 Jaguar S-Type
  By peter Wirchanske - January 15 - 10:00 am

  This Jaguar S Type 3.0 handles beautifully, is extremely quiet, very roomy and the 6 speed automatic transmission is seamless with lots of power when needed. The very best styling on the road today. Not like every other luxury vehicle on the road.

  Great Car... Love My Jag!! - 2005 Jaguar S-Type
  By Cal Zombie - August 31 - 7:50 pm

  I always wanted a Jag but had heard ALL of the horror stories (electrical/cost to fix/etc etc). Read hundreds of reviews about the 05 (a great year for this car), and went looking for an "S Type". Found one with 30K and was certified. Bought it and never looked back. Ride is smooth and the the pick up with the 6 cyl is like a rocket. City driving I get 22 MPG, and freeway I have gotten between 28 and (I know this may be hard to believe) 32 MPG. I got the 32 MPG going 70 mph on the "coast" from LA to San Diego w/no A/C. On a "Vegas" trip I was cruising at 85/90 with no problem. This feline can do more if asked to! Wonderful, smooth, powerful ride. Engine purrs like a cat!!

  Great car !!! - 2005 Jaguar S-Type
  By Exbeemer - July 28 - 10:00 am

  I have had six BMWs before I bought this car. Even if Beemers are great cars this has been more fun, just as great a drive and much more class. I greatly recommend it !!!.

  Nice car, would recommend - 2005 Jaguar S-Type
  By Isbtown - July 23 - 7:16 pm

  Great car, fun to drive. Horrible in snow, the worst Ive ever driven. straight line power is great. Stereo system is pathetic for a 60k car. Why they went with Alpine over bose is anyones guess. Bluetooth technology would have been nice. But the looks, ride, the navigation (which is absolutely top notch), are all great features in a car that can certainly hold its own against most sports cars these days in a off the line duel.

  S-Type Review - 2005 Jaguar S-Type
  By Theresa Streer - July 14 - 2:56 pm

  This is one car we may keep for a long time. The design and engineering are timeless. It is amazing on how many second looks this car gets. We feel very comfortable with the free maintenance program and the dealership we are dealing with makes you really feel that you bought more than just a luxury sedan. We are a little curious why they did not iclude any type of door body side moulding to protect the car for any mishaps that generally will occur at any number of parking lots, which this car will be vulnerable to.

  What a car - 2005 Jaguar S-Type
  By rruss - March 16 - 10:00 am

  Only for those who are interested in spoiling themselves. Drives and handles like a dream, this is a smooth car in every respect. Never harsh, never out of control, it drives like it is an extension of yourself.

  Jaguar s-type R - 2005 Jaguar S-Type
  By Sphinx121187 - March 16 - 10:00 am

  The Jaguar S-Type R is a very interesting car. Its dynamics and its engineering are very fun and solid. It is an extremely stable and fast car. The exterior styling keeps in line with a fast sleek interesting cat. It is the epitimy of high performance luxury European cars.

  2005 S-Type - 2005 Jaguar S-Type
  By trigmo - March 16 - 10:00 am

  Purchased from Hennessy Gwinnet ATL and dealership and salesperson Tom Watson were great. Car drives like a dream and had DVD Nav system which changed the interior config to look more like the XJ8. Cant say enough good things about the car! V^ has plenty of power and you will be amazed at the transmission and its smoothness! Sweet ride, options run price up to 50K but worth it!
