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.

My Jaguar - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
By Jack Lynn - May 18 - 7:30 amThis vehicle is well designed and I consider it a luxury car. It responds very favorably during automatic shifting of gears and handling ability. The vehicle is very accessible and provides excellent comfort. It has a very smooth ride.

Jaguar is everthing I hoped for - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
By trajan117 - February 4 - 10:00 amBought the Sapphire blue 4.0 version. Had it since May 2003. Great car! I always wondered why a luxury car would cost so much more than a regular sedan. Now I know. Comfort, solid build, and power. So far I havnt had one little problem with it. I just love driving it.

S Type, 3.0 - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
By JP - January 17 - 7:56 amThis is a retro of the 1957 Mk1 Jag saloon I purchased years back. Very comfortable and enjoyable to drive and ride in. Great road car. Has enough power to get out of tight spots. I have it serviced regularly and it is reliable. Keep good tires on it for a smoother and quiet ride.

I love this CAT - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
By Adam - September 22 - 11:26 pmI recently traded in my 2000 S-Type 4.0 to get an 01 3.0. Boy am I happy I did. The 00 leaked and had many little things break (the drawer in the dash, window regulator). The 01 feels for solid and is much more quiet. Its smooth and so good looking as well as 7 mpg better on gas. I miss the power and the growl from the V8, but I feel much better in this one. The only thing I have a problem with is its inability to not fish tail when taking turns in the rain, no matter the speed I am going. Here in Florida, the roads get slick. I have never had this problem with a Lexus, thats why I am a little shocked. I LOVE this car, I love the style, I love everything. And its cheap to buy used.

BMW nut is converted. - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
By one1bmwnut - January 26 - 2:00 amAfter almost twenty BMWs in the last fifteen years, I purchased my first Jaguar. Wow! What a car! First of all, it IS beautiful. It is an absolute head-turner. Nothing, except my MINI Cooper S, turns heads as consistently as the Jag S-Type. Only complaint. Rattles - air vents in front dash appear cheap and are prone to rattle. A little bit of a squeak in the rear somewhere. Will bring both issue to Jags attention at next service. Otherwise, I love it. My wife loves it! Unless BMW starts building beautiful cars (and not butt ugly ones!), Im here to stay! Thanks Jag for being Jag!
