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.

  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.

  My fourth and best Jag. Just fabulous in every respect. No problems after 2+ years and 30,000 miles.

  Faster than my old AMG - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By billk - February 13 - 9:16 am

  Once rolling, this car pulls strong in the mid-range and cruises easily up to 130+mph. Nav system slow. Brakes are grabby with tons of black dust all over the wheels. Most annoying is the wake the dead screeching brakes when brakes get warm and coming to a stop - factory wont warranty. When not moving and turning wheels, power steering jerky like not pumping enough fluid. Dealer sez this is normal on all Jags - NOT! The warranty people treat you like a Ford owner.

  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.

  Still a performer - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By michael - August 4 - 11:23 am

  Ive now owned this car for several years and its my third Jag. This car is simply the best Ive owned. The looks are still good and save for the easily scraped wheels, it still looks new. The reliability has always been a concern but its never broken down and never not started. The only trips to the shop have been for maintenance and to replace a NAV component (warranty). The brakes are expensive so watch out for that! ($1000.00 for the back)
