Jaguar through and through, but is it for you?

by gcs5x
Dec 13 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: It's a Jaguar.
Cons: It's a Jaguar.
The Bottom Line: A unique car in a field of look-alikes.

If you are considering the baby Jag, you undoubtedly are already aware of what you are getting into. Jaguar, while always known for its motto, "Grace, pace, and space," has never been synonymous for quality or reliability. The marque was plagued with ...

Jaguar gets thumbs up in my book

by mickeyk9
Jul 12 '06 - Updated Jul 26 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Unique body, great ride, great handling, attention to detail
Cons: Uncertain reliability, resale value
The Bottom Line: A great alternative to higher priced competitors with a very unique edge.

I had been shopping for a new/used car for about 5 months when I stumbled on a 2005 Jaguar S-Type at my local carmax dealer at a great price. Prior to finding this car I had test driven many other cars in its class (lux sedan) as well as other classes ...

As expected, this is a fine vehicle.

Dec 16 '04 - Updated Apr 01 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great looks, superb handling!
Cons: None yet!
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this vehicle to anyone as a fine road car. The quality is exceptional and the performance is more than what most drivers can possibly handle.

The Jaguar X-type that I purchased was manufactured in April, 2004, and is technically a 2004 model. There was not a category for 2004, so I'm putting this review here. First let me tell you a little about myself. I am 5'10" tall, 190 pounds, ...

2005 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 Sport

by midnitemike
Aug 21 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Soul-stirring performance and sound. Classy, stand-out styling. Safety. Jaguar interior. And practical too!
Cons: Automatic door locks clunky. Interior door openers hard to pull.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a performance sports sedan with extra cachet, look no farther.

I bought this car because I do a LOT of driving, and I decided if I'm going to be spending that much time driving, which I've always enjoyed, I should be driving something fun! After closely considering the BMW 3 series, Infiniti G35, Audi A4, and Acura ...

2005 S-Type R: Crisp, Fun, & Unreliable

by smarkyurchin
May 15 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Seductive acceleration, terrific handling, and brakes that stop RIGHT NOW. Superbly comfortable front seats.
Cons: Absolutely unreliable. Many lost hours to and from the dealer. Some cheap Ford interior touches.
The Bottom Line: I would only recommend this car to someone who demands looks, performance, and luxury; who has lots of money; and who lives next door to a Jaguar dealer.

I bought a new 2005 Jaguar S-Type R for performance, looks, luxury, and to be my daily driver. I was forced to trade it after 25 months, since a daily driver that's been in the shop for 38 days of warranty work in that period is hardly a daily ...
