Overview & Reviews
For 2006, the Jaguar S-Type gets a bit more power for its available V8 engine along with a new braking system. There's also a new chrome-mesh grille insert, optional satellite radio and Bluetooth connectivity, and new 17-inch wheels for the 3.0 S-Type.
- 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.

I think mine is a lemon - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
By surfsidejo - September 23 - 10:09 amI purchased my 06 S Type last Feb (2011) from a reputable Ford dealer. As soon as I got it home, my husband noticed the door seal was torn big time. I didnt notice when doing the test drive or checking it out, because I was always looking at the interior. Never thought to check areas like that. Anyway, $125.00 later we thought no more problems. 1 week later, husband was washing the car and noticed the lense on one of the fog lights was cracked. Took it for repair, $350.00, we thought we were good to go, spring comes along and we sure cant get cooled off. Everytime I slow down in traffic the AC gets warmer and warmer. Took it to reputable mechanic, $700.00 later we think we are good. Wrong.

Amazing car! - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
By jessrayo - December 17 - 7:53 amI have had my S-Type R for almost 2 years and Im now putting the experience on the web for others to see. This is the best car I have ever owned. I now have 80,000 miles (purchased with 40K). This car is quiet, comfortable, and amazingly fast. I was concerned about reliability and maintenance so I specifically looked for a certified pre-owned car. I have had one trip to the dealership for a warranty claim in the 2 years I have owned the car, I have driven it hard. Im kind of a speed junkie and nothing touches this car. I had to get a radar detector to keep from loosing my license. If you are not looking at the speedo you cant tell how fast you are going.

This car is the BOMB - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
By Jeff B - June 6 - 1:56 amI have had many high performance cars in my life, including a 2001 BMW M5, a Porsche GT3 and a Benz E55. The Jag "R" is the best. The M5 would beat it 0-60 (barely) but jeez, the Jag just FLIES for an automatic. The transmission is just awesome, the seats are SO much more comfortable than the hard ones in the M5, and the suspension is absolutely just right for me. Besides the nasty-fast accelleration, the brakes are fantastic. Definitely recommend this wicked, elegant vehicle.

Gets better all the time - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
By L. Kraft - February 12 - 9:10 pmI recently bought the S-Type 3.0 Jaguar. Of all the cars out in carland, this was the only car that stood out. You cant see yourself coming and going in a Jag. And this proved to be very true. I had my friends guess what type of car I bought. I only told them that it wasnt a German, Italian, Japanese, Swedish or American car. After thinking for awhile, they exclaimed: "Tell me its not a Jaguar!" Thats the reaction I have been getting and feeling while driving this terrific automobile. It is one of a kind. I find myself wanting to go out and buy things that I dont need in order just to drive the car. Needless to say, it is a great alternative to the other high-tech cars out there.

Jaguar S-Type R - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
By islam7 - March 10 - 10:49 amI have 105,000 miles on my Jaguar S-Type R and its still runs like new. My Jaguar never broke down. The only money spend is for brakes pads, new tires and oil changes. I use only Mobil 1 synthetic oil for the oil change. Next month Im going to have spend some money; for the 100,000 service (New Spark Plugs & Belts). This is the best car I owned.

Love it! - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
By RCT - February 16 - 12:26 amResearched a lot of cars in this luxury class but nothing stirred me as much as the Jag. Having been a Land Rover owner I wasnt put off by the scare stories about reliability problems. You have to drive these British cars all the time to keep them in good condition. They dont like to sit for long. I love the ride in this Jag. The engine feels plenty powerful to me. I dont know what all the magazine writers complain about when they talk about not as much power as other luxury sedans. A few minor cosmetic problems. The eye glass holder doesnt like to stay shut. Some bracket holding up a cable under the car broke. I noticed that the radio volume fluctuated a bit. Would buy again!

SUPER JAGUAR! - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
By PCardali - August 24 - 6:06 amThe 2006 S-Type R is one of the worlds most underrated cars. With 400hp the car defines "Performance Luxury Sedan". The cars power and handling will amaze you the first time you drive it but the luxury and styling will make you fall in love. Technically the car has everything that any car lover would want: Nav system, Bluetooth compatible, satellite radio without the hassle and annoyance of the German brands. Avoid the iDrive! The cars interior has improved in terms of the quality of the materials compared to earlier models. This is my 2nd STypeR and I love this one even more. Jaguars STypeR is the automotive equivalent to Clark Kent--underneath the surface lies something SUPER.

" Great Buy" - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
By Srthur Campbell - January 8 - 11:20 pmThis has been the best car buying experience ever. The automobile is a dream to drive, very comfortable, quiet. Comfortable seating positions. The gauges are perfectly easy to reach and read ... the driver is in total command of all the features needed to have a safe comfortable drive. I am simple elated over my purchase of my Jaguar.
