2005 Jaguar S-Type R 2.5 petrol
Summary:
Middle-man's Jag
Faults:
1) Air conditioning offered weird smells.
2) Brakes started to squeak and started to wear off within 20,000kms.
3) Windows screeched every time they were operated.
4) CD player skipped and never fully played the CDs.
5) The reception of the radio was VERY poor.
6) The auto headlights kept blinding other drivers.
General Comments:
1) Very good for taking to the mountains.
2) Good all-wheel drive - never lost control on snow.
3) Seats too hard and the J-shifter must be removed.
4) The sports package should include a body kit and a larger spoiler.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

And if that were the only "problem"... An S-type R with a 2.5 lt engine?

I have had mine for two years.. with a couple of problems, but the dealership always took care of it ~ even giving me another Jag as a loaner. So overall I have been satisfied, plus I just overall love my car. I will for sure consider getting another one as my next car.

This bloke is talking rubbish! there has never been a all wheel drive S type.
If he is talking about a Jaguar it has to be an X type and they didn`t have a type R???

All-wheel-drive in the S-Type?
Are you sure?
