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.

  I think mine is a lemon - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By surfsidejo - September 23 - 10:09 am

  I purchased my 06 S Type last Feb (2011) from a reputable Ford dealer. As soon as I got it home, my husband noticed the door seal was torn big time. I didnt notice when doing the test drive or checking it out, because I was always looking at the interior. Never thought to check areas like that. Anyway, $125.00 later we thought no more problems. 1 week later, husband was washing the car and noticed the lense on one of the fog lights was cracked. Took it for repair, $350.00, we thought we were good to go, spring comes along and we sure cant get cooled off. Everytime I slow down in traffic the AC gets warmer and warmer. Took it to reputable mechanic, $700.00 later we think we are good. Wrong.

  Great Car - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By bob8800 - August 4 - 4:00 am

  I went from a Lincoln to the Jag and I have been very pleased. Classic appearance, great power and cornering is outstanding. Drivers seat is a bit small for a tall person and five-person capacity is impossible unless they are small people. All in all I am very impressed with a fine automobile.

  Air Conditioning LED screen flashes - 2006 Jaguar S-Type
  By rogerelliott2 - May 12 - 4:05 am

  This is a 2006 S-type with an usual intermittent problem. Sometimes, the temperate display, a/c. fan, etc. flashes on and off endless. It doesnt seem to effect the a/c but it worries me that it m may be indicating a problem. A similar display message appears sometimes on the dash regarding cruise control. It says: "Cruise control not available." And then cruise doesnt work. It seems to fix itself though and although Im not noticing when, it starts working again. Any thoughts on either issue? I absolutely love this car.

  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.
