Overview & Reviews

Jaguar adds adaptive cruise control to the options list, and a six-speed automatic transmission is now standard on the V6 version -- the five-speed manual remains a no-cost option.

• 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.

  Bad purchase - 2004 Jaguar S-Type
  By J Simmons - October 8 - 4:26 am

  The S type will make a person financially poor there is always a problem fuel system, a/c system. Every time I go in for an oil change there is a new repair problem.You can never get an assistance from the service department there a charge to tell you what is wrong with the car. The car is pretty and that is the only good things I can say. I will not purchase another Jaguar.

  In the shop more than on the road - 2004 Jaguar S-Type
  By Wendy Willis - August 10 - 12:20 pm

  My 2004 s-type spends far too much time in the shop. The car has 57,000 miles on it, but it seems to be falling apart. In the last 6 months my car has been in the shop 4 times. One time for 7 weeks because parts had to be made in Britain. Problems have been with the entire AC unit, radiator system, cooling leaks, catalytic converter, some kind of crack in the engine. Thank God for the extended warranty, however it is about to expire. I will be getting rid of this lemon next week as soon as I pick it up from being repaired yet again. It looks good, but runs terribly!

  HATE MY JAG!!! - 2004 Jaguar S-Type
  By My Jag Experience - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Bought my Jag last month. Immediately it started to have problems. First, it wont shift out of gear when parked at any incline. That took two trips to the dealer, 10 days, and a new transmission. Got it back. First day, it didnt start! Dealer unresponsive. Their answer is "You got warranty. Bring it in and well fix it." Well, I dont want to keep bringing it in. I get to drive my car only three times since purchase and each time, I had a new problem. Dont buy this car!

  Not impressed - 2004 Jaguar S-Type
  By Dillardo - December 11 - 7:33 pm

  I am not that impressed with my S-Type. It doesn’t even feel like a luxury car to me. The inside is very basic, the stereo system is horrible, and perhaps I needed to upgrade the stereo system. However, for the amount of the car, one would think the car would have a better sound system. The car has no cool features! Ok, I have memory seats, thats basically it. Nothing about this car feels luxurious! I hope that they do a better job with the redesigned S-Type. It should be more wonderful things about a car other than the exterior appearance, having a great interior, as well as great features makes a car complete. I cannot believe that the original asking price for this car was $45, 000. There is no way this car was ever worth that amount of money.
