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.

  Lemon or not? - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Rkfd - October 10 - 2:00 am

  Electronically a nightmare!!! EVERYTIME the dealership trys to fix something it causes another problem. Finally, after 3 weeks in the shop, CA flew to IL to figure out the problems. But then there is always more... (Nearly 2 months in the shop in all)

  Nothing But Trouble - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By DONT GET IT - June 24 - 7:03 am

  I feel sick just thinking about my cat, Ive had nothing but trouble ever since I got it. The first month I got it I had to get the transmission fixed and now the car goes off when i get a red light. I like the leather seats and how the car looks inside and out. Dont get this car if you want a good everyday car.

  By mac210boy - November 28 - 8:59 pm

  I Love the wat the car drives and handles! I bought it with 83,000 miles on it and added 13,000 so far. I have not had any problems with PUMA except for a power stering leak! It is a great buy for me. Im 60" and have no problem with the space on the inside!

  This Jaguar ROARS - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Jim Cossack - August 9 - 11:36 am

  This is by far and away the most fun Ive ever had getting from point A to point B and back again!! There are too many great features I love about this car to mention. The only negative about my 4.0 S-Type is the transmission does lag a bit when down shifting into the passing gear. But Whoa...it makes up for lost time!! The reliability has been excellent. This car has performed above my expectations both inside and out.

  Fantastic looking car. Do not have a single complaint. Most comfortable ride of any car I have ever owned. Climate control and sound system are excellent. No mechanical problems of any kind so far.

  More Fun Than Legally Permitted - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Mike L - December 12 - 12:16 pm

  We bought our pampered car off lease. We did have a problem within a month or so of owning the car (transmission problems), but the dealership quickly resolved the problem and we continue to have a smile on our face each time we drive it. It is silk on wheels. It looks great, is quiet and solid inside and has excellent road manners. It is one of the best values in a luxury class. I’m surprised there aren’t more sold because this car is a better ride, with greater performance than most in its price range.

  Jauguar S-Type/Style & Performance - 2001 Jaguar S-Type
  By Stephen Bailey - August 15 - 2:00 am

  Leased my 2001 S-Type in March, 2001 and havent looked back since. The car is a "looker" and different style than the typical Mercedes/BMW that seems to be everywhere. Ive enjoyed quality performance and a quiet ride. The S-Type has performed excellently and I look forward to driving it in the future.
