Jaguar S Type 3.0 Litre V6 SE

This is my new steed for business other than messy work. I had a 1999 S Type which was good. This car is a 2003 model and it is a world apart from my last S Type. Better quality and better looking too. I would have bought another Range Rover if I could have found a good condition V8 petrol. I struggled to find one so I went back to my favorite brand, Jaguar, this is my eighth. I still have number No2 but its awaiting restoration, one day probably never!

Was thinking of getting the same car,now after your bloody review, will have to get one ,cheers ///P/S saw your gsd, used to breed them ,so ya must be a man of taste !!

Hi 24327355, Thanks for your comment. You absolutely must go & get one, the post 2002 upgraded version is so much better than the previous model S Type. And, since most people that slag them off have never been in one, driven one or never owned one, opinion is biased against them which is unfair to say the least & unjustified. Mine now has 26,600 miles on the clock & has never missed a beat in the two years I have owned it & I still love it to bits! Regards, DZ.

Hi brianprime, Are we going to see it then young man? Don't worry about your wife, all you need to do is put your foot down with a firm hand & declare the following; Woman, as man of the house & upholder of the family name & chief decision maker I decide what cars we have, you decide what curtains we have! Its as simple as that young man, tell what you have done & give her a little bit of authority (power!) & control over a decision too! End of today's lesson. Regards, Jon DZ.

@DingleZilla hi, me again, now got rid of the lexus ls 400, and have taken in what you said, or truthfully, the guy at work bought one and i was jealous. mines a 3.0 manual, dark green with cream leather. surprisingly good on fuel, and nippy. my wife absolutely hate jags, and when i phoned her from the garage to insure it for me said yuck, thinking it was an xj. soon turned to oooh, very good car. thanks for the advice.

Hi brianprime, BSA Bantam! Now theres a bike, worth a few quid these days! I can't say I like Lexus designs. All I can say is that I have had this Jag for 18months without issue. It has 25,500 miles on the clock & never fails! It's looks are different & distinctive. It never fails to provoke comment on YT either for or against (usually by people that have never owned one!) it. It must be one of the most hated & loved cars ever? Only you can decide, because you have to pay for it & live with it!

@DingleZilla bit like the old bsa bantom i had, through all its faults i loved that bike, but someone loved it more and pinched it. there is something about a jag, mine cost me a lot, but am looking for a new car as my LS400 is to thirsty, and yet again i am considering jag, not sure yet as a lot of competition, my friend has one of these and must say the video doesn't do it justice, so much more in the flesh. they may have problems from what i am told, but cant take away the looks.

Hi brianprime, You can add what want to the discussion. Sounds to me like you have experience of both so are probably better placed to comment. I have had 8 Jags, 2x XJS V12's & various XJ6's & 2 S Types. This one is a 2003 model & is miles better than the 1999 one I had. The previous Jags I had did have issues, however I never got sick of them, bored of their design or driving them. I am Jaguar through & through except for the new XJ, not sure about the back end! Cheers, DZ.
