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.

  great auto, but design flaw - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By corkys - June 14 - 5:50 am

  2nd Jag owned. Rides great and looks good. When moon roof is fully open the ceiling vibrates between 30 and 50 MPH. Dealership says that all S types do it and it is a design flaw. My 03 was quiet as a mouse. Am pretty dissappointed that Jag would admit to a design flaw on a $50K auto. I have notified Jaguar USA, but they say that no one else has reported this. The 06 that the dealer loaned us when looking at the moonroof also vibrated. All in all, great ride but disappointed in the quality.

  Cant beat it for the money - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By forcefed - April 16 - 7:46 am

  Amazing power and handling for a car its size, the ability to get 29mpg if you cruise on the hwy. gorgeous good looks. Tight rear seat but thats not why I bought it. Brakes and Tires go fairly fast but the driving experience is well worth it. a few squeaks and rattles showed up and are not covered under warranty after 12k miles. Im writing this after my car was totaled last week, I walked away with minor cuts and bruises, so I can now say, its a very safe car to be in if things go wrong. Frame was bent and the engine mounts broke but I was able to get out and walk away. Might find myself in another one sooner than later

  BEST luxury car I ever owned - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By Leonsky - July 20 - 12:40 am

  I have owned almost every luxury car in the market. From Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Infinity, to Cadillac and Lincoln and the Jaguar beats them all in Looks and Performance. Its luxurious interior is comfortable and pleasant to the eye. I give it a 10+ overall.

  Wheres The Traction!!!??? - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By John Craten - March 7 - 7:50 pm

  I live in the east. Occasionally we have dicey weather. This is undoubtedly the best looking car on the market - however, it needs all-wheel drive! Traction in bad weather is abysmal.

  My S type - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By Linda S - September 10 - 12:23 am

  I wasnt sure which to purchase between MB, BMW and Jag but the interior impressed me the most. In a city where it appears everyone has one, I found the Jag S type makes a nicer statement. The ride is smooth and when accelerating the sports car comes to life unlike the others. I get several compliments on my Radient Red "S". The seats are most comfortable. There is more room and better quality all around compared to the competitors... or am I just prejudiced?

  S-Type rules! - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By Salvatore Giunta - August 21 - 7:36 am

  When I saw the S-Type for the first time I fell in love with her. So I bought her simply because she looks marvelous and is a Jaguar. Then driving her I found that fantastic stylish was not all, power, ride and comfort are at the top. The best car in the world.

  I LOVE MY FIRST JAG - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By FranPR - October 15 - 7:33 pm

  I had serious doubts about buying this car because I never owned a Jaguar before. I am very happy that I finally decided to buy; this is a GREAT car; the best sedan that I have had. Performance is truly impressive, unequaled by any of the two 5 series BMW or two E series Mercedes that I owned in the past.

  Muscle car in a Tuxedo - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By Oldengineer - March 18 - 4:56 am

  My car is the VDP model with navigation. The car is very luxurious both inside and out, yet, handles and runs like a muscle car. On trips, the fuel economy this car gets, despite having 300 HP on tap, is excellent. On the interstate, the car is dead quiet, and, very comfortable on long trips. This is my third Jag, and, by far, the best one yet.

  2006 Jaguar S type VDP - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By Joseph - October 29 - 6:06 am

  I also had that vibrating when speed was between 30000 - 50000 MPH. It was a simple fix, not the roof or ceiling as a previous poster overstated. I was angry my dealer charged me $100.00 to turn on an electrical feature on an option I paid for. Jaguar headquarters refunded me that $100.00 when I advised them this to be an unfair practice. The Premium audio system needs to be more powerful not necessarily to be louder but rather to render RICHER sound quality. The Sub Woofer is barely noticeable. The telephone volume was also too low to hear comfortably - probably associated with my comment above about the stereo. A/C does not cool the car unless the setting is set at 65 degrees.
