Overview & Reviews

The S-Type gets new 10-spoke alloy wheels for 2001, along with exterior color options Onyx White and Roman Bronze. The folks at Jaguar have decided to move the six-disc CD changer from the glovebox to the trunk. ISOFIX is added to the rear for securing child seats and Reverse Park Control now comes standard. An electronically controlled, speed-proportional power steering system is new this year and the software for the Voice Activation Control system has been upgraded. A Deluxe Communications Package featuring a Motorola Timeport digital phone system is a new option.

• Classic styling, serene and stable ride, cool voice-activation technology.

• Too much Ford switchgear, lack of interior storage space, sloppy transmission, high price tag.

  S-Type Review - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By 01JagSType - December 21 - 3:16 am

  The Jaguar S-Type has treated me well the past 5 years I have owned it. However, minor technical problems do come up now and then. Its a good idea to get the extended warranty after end. Acceleration is not on par with MB, but handling is superb. The styling is more appealing than most. Interior quality is excellent, and even better with the 03 Revised models. The 19/24 fuel economy is just average. The car definately is a head turner, but it is quickly silenced with electrical headaches. I do suggest this car as long as it is an 03 or newer model. I plan to try trade it in for jaguars new XK. Overall, this car has met my demands and I can reccomend it.

  2001 Jag S type - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Andyman - November 24 - 10:00 am

  I have never had this much fun driving! The exterior gets people to turn and look and I get a lot of thumbs up from other drivers. The drop down to passing gear is a little hesitant but acceleration more than makes up for it. The premium sound system rocks. The rear view mirrior shakes with the volume at 50%. The best part of driving this machine is how it handles on curvey, hilly roads. This car has far exceeded my expectations.

  Save your money - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By miKE - November 15 - 10:00 am

  Ive always had Luxury cars. This one drives me nuts. Have 24000 miles, and it is at the dealers everyh month. Had 4 radios installed. Still every time I hit a bump it jumps from FM to AM or my CD. Passenger door remote works 1/2/ the time. Air conditionere blew out, took 8 days to get parts. Low inventory at dealers for any parts. Cant wait to buy an Acura

  The Red Kitty Cat - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Albert - July 5 - 7:00 pm

  Found this car in my local newspaper of all places. With about 55K miles on it and perfect condition. Lost the right front wheel bearing about 1 month after purchase. 56K miles and the right front window regulator at about 63k. I have taken the car on two trips from Cincinnati, one to DC and the other to the Outer Banks and both trips were pure fun. The current tires are useless in snow or ice and I park the cat when the freezy skid stuff falls.

  Beautiful Look - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Ashraf - May 23 - 10:00 am

  I had GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda before. I was looking for an Accord or a Camry. I saw this beautiful used Jag including 3 years extended waranty that I can get for a price new accord or a Camery. No Comparison. No comparison. No comparison. Do not hesitate. This is a beautiful piece of art. Head turner. Jaguar should work a litle on Gas. 12.4 litters for 100 km in Canada in town. Rick Koch, thanks for recommending this car to me.

  Fun and Reliable - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Funtodrive - March 15 - 2:00 am

  Initial quality exceptionally good. Only problem in 2 and 1/2 years was the display in the radio. The dealership replaced the radio in a day. The 17 inch wheels and automatic (computer controlled) suspension is unbelieveable.... like cornering on rails. This car puts a smile on my face.

  My First Jaguar - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By jackson43215 - December 14 - 2:00 am

  This car is beautiful, the dealership is great, and the ride and performance is fantastic. It just isnt very reliable and has poor quality. A great ownership experience is spoiled by frequent visits for warranty work. Coolant and oil leaks; seat control problems/replacements; window motor, transmission, dash board and glovebox replacements, trunk leaks and other issues. With only 41,000 miles during my 3 year ownership. Inquiries directly to Jaguar were met with representatives who had no interest and no care about my issues. I have been so dissatisfied with a $50,000 Jaguars quality, but loved my $13,000 Saturn with nearly no quality issues.

  very surprised - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Way2Busy - May 27 - 10:00 am

  After owning BMWs (over-hyped), Infinitis (over prised for quality) and a horrible Merc (over priced, poor quality and service, a chrylser with a Merc decal), I am absoultey surprised at the great quality of this car. Fun and comfortable to drive, with great AC, all a plus here LA. Distinct, classic looks that exudes class and quality.

  Beautiful Cat - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Jeff in St. Louis - March 26 - 2:00 am

  Sexy lines and the classy Look. 4.0 V8 is powerful enough to give you load of fun. Ride is smooth and sporty. A real treat. It is a feel good car when you sit behind the wheel.

  Beautiful, But I cant Trust Her - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Anthony Gucciardo - January 27 - 10:00 am

  I have a 2004 E Class and Bought Used S- Type because I always wanted one! They look better then any other car on the road including Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, etc. The first week I had it didnt start cause the car thought it was being stolen. The next week the battery died, and other times there is a clicking noise that cant seem to be corrected. I love this Car, and get excited when I drive it, but its not dependable. The car will not shift out of park when parked on an incline and the engine pings even though I use Octane 93 Fuel. If you get an S-Type get a 03 or Newer!
