2001 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 V6

Summary:

Worst car I ever had..

Faults:

Front electric window motor broke after 1 week.

Front wheel default after 6 months.

Rain detector broke after 1 year.

Driver seat broke after 2 years.

Jaguar Cars Europe took 4 months (!!!) to provide spare parts.

General Comments:

Supposed to be a luxury car... Well, powerful engine for sure, nice interior, but reliability is a shame for the price.

- Service is awfully expensive.

- Rain detector is not efficient.

- Electrochromic mirrors are not satisfying.

- Heating / Clim takes hours to work.

- Steering is much too sensible.

Handling is a nightmare, this car is DANGEROUS on wet / snowy roads.

I damaged the trunk, and during 4 month (!!!) I stayed without a replacement car, hearing only from Jaguar France "Sorry, part not available yet, we'll keep you in touch... We cannot provide you any courtesy car. Please consider renting any".

4 month without a car... I almost lost my job after paying SOOO much for purchase and service.

I will NEVER buy this crappy brand again, and I'm considering law procedures against them.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
